I think they are just trying to protect the voters. I mean postponing may not actually work in Paul's favor. It would give the others who are campaigning more actively in SC to gain ground in Nevada where Paul and Romney are really the only ones there presently. Postponing would also take away any kind of "bounce" Paul might receive from a good showing before super Tuesday.

The changing of caucus sites, while troubling, does not concern me as much as the part about "However, on January 17 the policy was changed for a third time, as the state party announced that affidavits would be in use throughout the state, subject to the discretion of county central committees and chairs."
What does this mean? When will they decide - prior to the caucus? Or will they wait till caucus time and say there are too many supporters of so-and-so signing the affadavits - so they won't be accepted.

Just seems like a mess to me. How is a voter supposed to have any confidence?

Paul will do fine, don't worry about it. Remember that any showing above last is a victory for him. He'll easily be in the top three in NV and he'll beat Rudy again in SC. Consider the fact that he's still in the presidential race and bigger names such as Richardson, Dodd, Brownback, Tancredo, Tommy Thompson, Gilmore, etc have all dropped out. If Fred Thompson and Giuliani don't win SC and FL respectively, they're finished.

Only Paul can compete nationally, while the other GOP candidates are confined to the specific early primary state that they blew their fortunes on. And remember that these early states had some of their delegates stripped because they violated party rules. Paul has consistently gotten 6%-10% in each of the three states so far. This is a beautiful rope-a-dope campaign by Paul, he's taken all of his hits and the only "scandal" associated with Paul is the already debunked newsletters and the usual guilt-by-association smears. All Paul has to do is place high in both states & that'll give him a huge momentum boost to Super Tuesday. It'll even help with the MLK Money Bomb too.
