| If that money doesn't translate into poll numbers with likely voters in the Republican primaries, he really doesn't have a chance.. Do you have the latest numbers on how he's polling nationally with likely primary voters? | ||||

Romney has to give himself money to even stay a float. People aren't donating to Giuliani, McCain, Thompson, or Romney. They are donating to Paul. It is astounding people still discounting. ASTOUNDING. The press still comments "Paul raised and impressive $5 million, but still has no chance" How is that for journalism? | ||||

But again, getting people to vote for him on primary day, ie: registered Republicans in many cases, is what really matters.. and the polls don't really show him as competitive at the moment. Maybe that will change as time progresses, I'd certainly rather have Ron Paul as the nominee than any of the other douchebag Republicans. Are you / lew / Ardent / the rest of his supporters registered as Republicans in your states (if it matters for voting in primaries)? Are you active in the process there? | ||||

| I dont have to be a registered Republican to vote for him in Texas either, though I think as a candidate I'm barred from voting in primaries for other parties. That's how it was last year.  | ||||
