Today my hard left cousin was talking about how great if they could get Paul nominated. He doesn’t intend to vote for him in any real election (He’s a Kucinich voter) but he thinks it would be a “real race”. The cousin plans on voting in the GOP primary race here in Michigan but democrat in the general race.

I may like a bottom rung republican but at least he’s there honestly as a real conservative.

Try it this way: Wow....the Romney, Huckabee, and Thompson campaigns chose to compete in some small straw poll and were beaten by a one percenter who gets no media coverage, named Ron Paul. Whoopie is the wrong word. That is what these campaigns lack, not what they have.

The failure of Romney, Thompson, et. al to win a small straw poll against Ron Paul (though they competed) shows that they have generated a singular lack of enthusisam. Apparently, people who support these candidates don't care enough to show up.

How many people do you think are ‘polled’ in those MSM polls from UNH that cite where the candidates are in the rankings?

Never more than 400. Last one was 333.

These events have about 250-500 people in attendance...so the number of people sampled are no different...and just as valid.

As a matter of fact, PAPER BALLOTS are used so they are quite accurate.
