Ron Paul to Jay Leno: 'I could win' Mark Memmott & Jill Lawrence / USA Today | October 30, 2007 The campaign has been going so well in his view that "there's probably a risk I could win," Republican presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul just told NBC-TV's Jay Leno. We listened in on the audio of the "feed" that the network sends to its affiliates each evening of The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. Paul's appearance will be broadcast on NBC tonight. The show goes on the air around 11:35 p.m. ET. Paul, who remains in the low single figures nationally in most media polls, has been raising more money than several candidates who are better known and has certainly been generating more buzz on the Internet, where his videos and blog postings about him have multiplied sharply in recent months. He told Leno he attributes those successes "to the message."
"I have shortcomings, but the message has no shortcomings," Paul said. It's all about "liberty," he added. Paul ticked off some of the things he would try to do as president -- including bringing all U.S. troops home from Iraq and eliminating the federal income tax. Leno asked if Paul, who ran for president as a Libertarian in 1988, would accept the vice presidential slot on a Republican ticket. "I probably wouldn't be offered one," Paul deadpanned -- to laughs from the audience. CLICK ON THE BANNER TO
