Not quite. 4 percent in the latest Gallup Poll and beat the pants off Fred at a straw poll that Fred tried to win.

Those numbers are huge. I’m sure that with a possible sampling error size of plus or minus three percent that Run Paul will be the next president.

Are you actually deluding yourself that paleoPaulie will run ahead of any, much less each and every one of Fred Thompson, Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani (barf!) in even one primary or statewide caucus in which none of those three have dropped out? Name the states. Your boy's patoot is going to be kicked soooo bad in each and every caucus and primary that he will wind up on, ummmm, Uranus. AntiAmericanism does not play well in the GOP. Nor pacifism, nor neo-isolationism, nor Neville Chamberlain surrendermonkeyism nor delusional moonbattery of the Dennis Cuckoocinich kind.

The "straw polls" being run at the annual dinners of the Shrimpin', trolleymeister, bus subsidy, antiwar antiAmerican lobbies are not significant. Voting that chooses delegates is.

You do realize that 4% is not a majority or even a plurality, right???
