Texas Congressman and Republican Presidential Candidate Ron Paul

By Laura Knoy on Thursday, December 20, 2007.

He opposes the income tax, the FBI and the Department of Education and has a rather large group of supporters who campaign on his behalf by spreading flyers, knocking on doors and spreading his message through the internet. His poll numbers are slightly higher here in the Live Free or Die State and he has surprised many with his fundraising efforts- raising $6 million in one day recently. He faces tough competition from his Republican competitors and hopes to draw on his base of support to make a good showing in the upcoming Iowa Caucus and New Hampshire Primary. We’ll talk with Dr. Paul about his run for President, the issues and how he thinks his showing in the two first-in-the-nation states may impact how he campaigns from here on out.

Volunteers Break New Ground

By Dan Gorenstein on Thursday, December 13, 2007.

Typically in the final weeks before the primary, campaigns coordinate their out-of-state volunteers.

They find them places to stay- staffers sofas, in-state supporters’ homes, the YWCA.

But with Ron Paul backers, it’s volunteers who have organized an ambitious campaign to provide out-of-staters with free housing while they campaign for the Texas Republican.

New Hampshire Public Radio’s Dan Gorenstein has the story.

By Dan Gorenstein on Wednesday, July 18, 2007.

A group of driven activists who support Republican Congressman Ron Paul believe with a little more exposure their guy will become a top-tier contender.

GOP Debate: The View From Exeter

By Jon Greenberg on Tuesday, June 5, 2007.

There was a long line of Republican presidential candidates on display in Manchester last night - ten in all, and they answered questions for about two hours in the first New Hampshire debate. About 30 miles away in Exeter, three undecided Republicans sat in a living room and watched the debate on television.

This primary season, we are following the town of Exeter in a series called Primary Place. At the end of the evening, all three voters agreed, they found Arizona senator John McCain more impressive than they expected.
