Golly by that logic you can say that the party is not going to vote for a conservative candidate for POTUS because Thompson never placed higher than 3rd!

Lots of factors, including media portrayal factor into how many votes a candidate gets.

I think you maybe on to something there...... Of the four top canidates remaining I’m not sure any are more conservative that Thompson. In any case I don’t look for the primary voters to settle on Paul. Text message polls and other straw polls don’t equate to real voters on election day as evidenced by the standings so far.
