Seems as good a question as, "Mr. Paul, you lead in Iowa. Are you going to drop out and become a third party candidate?"

But he doesn't lead in Iowa as of the lastest polls. I do agree, it is a pretty stupid question. I also think (which is off the subject) Huntsman made a comment that many Iowans and others should find insulting: he said, Iowa grows corn, NH grows candidates. It might be funny if he had said it with some humor.

I think SC is a must for Paul to win to get the momentum needed, next up is Florida and I do not think he can win there. If that takes place you would have Romney and Paul with 2 states each and the race is on.

Huntsman is correct, people hype the living snot out of iowa, but it's a fairly "worthless" state so to speak in electoral votes and rarely picks who the candidate turns out to be. Hell last time around they picked Huckabee

Romney should drop out if he doesn't win New Hampshire since every talking head in the media has been saying it's a foregone conclusion that he'll win New Hampshire. He'll never win South Carolina unless all of the former New Yorkers have taken over the state.

Right now he is second or third place, not first so the question is will Paul drop out when Romney wins Iowa and NH?

the statement was uncalled for and very tacky...I don't care what you think or who you support, of course we know you would neve support any Republican and should I remind you, Huckabee came in second overall in 2008.

LOL! So true! What about the question as to whether Romney or Gingrich or any of the others would run as a 3rd party candidate?

No, the former New Yorkers have taken over Florida but they are starting to overflow into So Ca, skipping Ga.

On Google Trends, Paul is in first place and WAY ahead of the others. If real people willing to extend their own effort to find out about him on line has any bearing on his popularity and translates to votes, the polls that don't have him in first place are wrong. This is true nationally and in Iowa.

People are far less interested in finding out about Romney or Santorum or anyone else on-line as you can plainly see.
