Very well said Brum very well said. That is why even if Paul wins Iowa his run in in vain because he has no real shot. |

Why? For making Bachmann look like an ignorant warmongering fool? |

Says the man who thinks Paul is running in vain. Michele Bachmann is a moron. Not only that, she is a moron with NO chance to win the nomination. |

Paul had one clear, unelectable moment. Brett Baier posed a hypothetical about Iran having a nuke within one year, and Paul didn't answer the question. The fact is many experts believe Iran will have nukes in the near future. |

So does "near future" = within a year? |

I actually think he has a very real chance at winning Iowa because the amount of time and resources he has put in, as well as his proven ability to do well in caucus states. Outside of that who knows. I think his main goal now is to have a really good showing in Iowa to legitimize his candidacy, just like Huckabee did, then go from there. I don't think he is putting near as much resources in South Carolina and New Hampshire as he is Iowa, though he does seem to be ramping up his operation in Florida. I am not sure if you all are really aware of this, but the Republicans have changed the rules for the primaries this year. All primaries and caucuses before April 1st are required to award delegate proportionally now whereas in the past, many of those states were all-or-nothing. There are 32 states holding primaries before that date, so that could have a major effect on the race. Especially since there is no clear front runner. For a guy like Paul that is huge. His biggest difficulties right now are getting his name out there and convincing people that he can really win. The longer he can hang around the more of a shot he has, and proportional delegates allow him to do just that. And after the Florida primary, there are a string of caucus states, where he can excel based on how efficiently his organization is run and how passionate his followers are. Look at the 2008 Democratic Primary. Obama was an outsider coming in. There was buzz around him, but no one really thought he had a chance to win the nomination. He had a very well run campaign though that really used the proportional delegate system to their advantage. They focused on caucus states where they had an advantage. They didn't overextend themselves in states they knew they weren't gonna win because they didn't need to. Instead they picked up small wins and good 2nd place showing here and there and built momentum. Then finally once people really realized he could actually win people started voting for him. I am not saying that is what will happen with Paul,because I still don't think he will win. All I am saying is that there is precedent for it. |

Wow glad to see that lack of an answer to a single hypothetical question makes someone "unelectable." If that is the case I don't see how you can vote for anyone, because most of the time none of these clowns actually really answer a question. |

Hog, I agree as he process has played out Michele has little chance to win the nomination. I still think of the 8 she would be the best president. I read your other post about how they will be earning delegates. Paul if he wins Iowa and i say he is probably the most likely to win Iowa will cut the field down quickly. After Florida it should be a three man race because others will run out of money. Paul will be one of those three. A three man race will work against Paul. |

How in the world could you really believe she would make the best President? I would not vote for her to run the 30,000 person town I live in, much less the country. I agree after Florida it will be a 3 person race. As to whether it will be good or bad for Paul remains to be seen. |

Iran and the middle east is the main foreign policy issue facing the U.S. Paul basically said he'll do nothing regardless of what Iran does. I know you agree with this position, but 60+% of Americans don't, and Ron Paul scares us. |
