Expect a ton of flowers on the Tonight Show set tonight.

Dr. Paul is surging partly because he is against Internet Regulation. I am an American living in Europe but the US Congress keeps passing laws like IMBRA that try to reach out across the ocean to grab me (IMBRA requires Americans to be background checked just to say hello to a foreigner online).

Ron Paul might get a significant portion of the veterans vote because of the above reasons.

If you want another 4 years of Tweedledee/Tweedledum politics that offer nothing but fear and war, pull the lever for any of the other candidates.. Democrat or Republican... makes no difference. On the other hand, if you still believe the United States Constitution is relevant today... then Ron Paul is the only choice.

God Bless Dr. Paul he gives me hope for our contry

Hopefully Dr Paul's appearance on the "Tonight" show will boost his polls and answer that tired question of "Who is Ron Paul?" As yet, he is not a household name, but the other candidates have noticed him and are stealing his lines, regarding "Civil liberties", the Constitution and foreign policy. I believe Tom Cruise will also be a guest tonight to promote his new film "Lions and Lambs" directed by Robert Redford. Judging from the previews, Dr. Paul could not ask for a better scathing portrayal of the Neo-con agenda to support his Non-intervention foreign policy. With 70% of America wanting us out of Iraq and GWB asking for more money everyday, Dr. Paul has the remedy to what ails this country.

This is great news...Tom Cruise is sure to bring in a crowd, and that will give millions the opportunity to remember what it sounds like to hear a real person discuss politics; as opposed to the mock-indignant, posturing, talking-without-saying-anything heads we are so used to.

It's refreshing to find a candidate like Ron Paul. His policies are so inline with mine that I feel an obligation to be an active (and unofficial) volunteer in his campaign.

November 5th will be the first time I have EVER donated money to a politician's campaign - because I believe this is the first time it will actually be put to good use.

Ron Paul Movement...Last chance of Democracy instead of corporacy in America.

I hope he chooses Mike Gravel for his running mate, even though he is a Democrat. Paul & Gravel are the only candidates that speak the truth and truely are for the people. The rest are only out for money and themselves.

I would take Ron Paul more serious if it wasnt for all his followers. It gets so old hearing "ron paul is the person who will end the great evils of this country blah blah blah" and people always saying "vote ron paul" at the end of EVERY sentence

I'm not an American citizen since I am a temporary worker here in the US, but if I could vote for a Ron Paul in Canada, I would do it in a heartbeat. Ron Paul is the only politician that doesn't talk like a weaslely politician - speaking without saying anything. People want to feel good, but I think the Dr. has a cure for America!

Dr. Paul might be the last hope for America and the Constitution.

If by some wild luck he won the nomination, I'd love to see him pick someone like Jim Webb as his VP running mate!

Does anyone else notice how eveyone is labeling him a libertarian now?

I like Dr. Paul's idea's on non-interventionist foreign policy...but the fact that he would possibly scale back every federal social service frightens me. Good foreign policy, bad domestic policy.

As long as Mr. Cruise doesn't give an Oprah-like, couch-jumping endorsement of Dr. Paul, this can only be a good thing for the campaign.

There is a fresh breeze of freedom blowing into the hearts of those who
have waited for a real human to run for the presidency.
Dr. Ron Paul will bring back what made America great in the first place, Freedom of the individual to choose; because they will know what the simple road map to the rules for living are! The understandable and clear words of the Constitution with it's bill of rights. CHEERS

Jeb, and Dale: first, why would it turn you off that people are excited about a candidate? Doesnt that tell you something? It should tell you that 69,000 volunteers are working for free and providing supplies and signs and spray paint and bumper stickers and fliers and every other form of advertising for Ron Paul. I haven't seen anyone else that has that type of following. Also.... Jeb: his domestic policy is not bad. You need to do some research my friend. The IRS, Federal Reserve, CIA, Department of Homeland security, Department of Education, etc etc etc. Most of these Government programs are absolutely unnecessary and have made already complex issues even more complex. I would also say that our continued Imperialistic style domestic policy is a direct reflection of how all other politicians see the average American. They see us as something to be controlled and hurded like cattle.

The media has completely resisted even recognizing Dr. Paul and now they are being given no choice in the matter.

Vote the Constitution: VOTE RON PAUL!!!
SEMPER FI!!!

I like Dr. Paul's idea's on non-interventionist foreign policy...but the fact that he would possibly scale back every federal social service delights me to no end. Good foreign policy, brilliant domestic policy!

Ronald,

Are you suggesting that we get rid of all said departments? In an ever complex and socially stratified nation it is important that we have governmental institutions in place in order to do good for people the things that the private sector never could, however red-tape laden and beurocratic as they may be. Im not suggesting that there is no room for improvement in these agencies, but maybe you should do a little research yourself. However well intentioned, I dont think that Ron Paul is the answer.

And the really impressive part of all this - is his appearance (via supporters) at the msnbc democratic debate -- Looks like Ron Paul won hands down!

"Most of the crowd was holding Ron Paul signs and chanting his name! Chris Matthews said jokingly 'they're chanting HARD BALL HARD BALL!'

- Winning the debate (of a party he is not part of) at the same time as being on Jay Leno tonight, quite the accomplishment for such a dark horse.
