Ron Paul Surges in Polls, But Still Dismissed by Media

It's just Iowa, only place his show is gonna fill the house. And it may not be SRO only there, either.

Caucus is much different from primary -- people actually show up and talk, speak in front of the assemblage for candidates. Each one can last an hour or two, whole assemblage can be swayed in that time, etc. Much more of a crap shoot compared to the pre-polling than an actual primary. And to top it all off, the results are non-binding to the state GOP convention which eventually casts the votes that count toward national GOP nominating process.

I predict that even if he wins Iowa caucus, it will be only "primary" he does win, and won't wind up getting the nod from Iowa state GOP in the longrun in any account.

I'm glad the media is dismissing him, and I wish the Paulbots would take the red pill and do the same. On his best day, he's still wholly unelectable as POTUS.

... he's still wholly unelectable as POTUS.

Yep. Look at who was elected last time. No way would Americans put someone in office who has actually read and understands the constitution.

I'm not a PaulBot or a Ronulan, but MIGHT be in danger of the classification Branch Paulinian.

Actually, I basically agree with Paul but it isn't his handsome looks or bubbling personality. I just can't dredge up any hint of appreciation for any of the other candidates. Paul is as good as it gets this time around.
