And what are Paul’s numbers in IA and NH? There’s no way he can win the Republican nomination. The only way he could get on the ballot in November would be as Losertarian, but he’d still mostly draw votes away from the DemocRAT nominee the way Anderson did in 1980.
Of course, he's not in the Guiliani/Romney/Huckabee front-runner group.
I don't know about Iowa, but in New Hampshire, Fred Thompson might be catching up to him. Last I checked, Sen. Thompson had almost 1/3 as many points as Ron Paul in one poll.
