It appears that all of the media polls were wrong and Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul is mounting a serious challenge for the GOP nomination. Paul’s campaign will be hosting several events in South Carolina.

Ron Paul’s presidential campaign will be opening up an office in Greenville South Carolina tomorrow, holding a campaign rally in downtown Columbia on Friday, and opening another office in Columbia South Carolina on Saturday.




After a couple other events Paul will be at a rally on November 10th in Philadelphia. PA.

Paul continues to run a multi state campaign drawing significant crowds and supporters wherever he goes. Paul’s campaign seems to be running a national campaign and not just an Iowa New Hampshire strategy.

According to Paul’s website the campaign raised 2.5 million this month alone about half of what he raised last quarter.

Paul appeared on the Tonight Show last night and the mainstream audience was very supportive of his views. Paul was applauded for promoting reforms to the monetary system and eliminating federal income taxes as well as a non interventionist foreign policy.

The long time Republican appears to be energizing the party base that has been demoralized by the Bush presidency yet still seems to be expanding the party at the same time. (Visit the USA Daily Forum to discuss this and other issues.)
