He has more support than anyone other than Romney. It is a 2 man race now. Romney vs Paul. The other guys don't have the money, the ground game, or enthusiasm to last much longer.

And considering Santorum, Perry, and Gingrich can't even figure out how to get on the ballot in Virginia, I don't think even they expect to be around much longer.

How so? They are both big government,they are both pro war,they both like raising the debt. I see no difference and he will never get my support. Ron Paul or nothing!

Yes...and the poster I was responding to stated that Pauls appeal was broader than Romneys...so we agree

In virginia we can see how Romney and Paul do without the others in the mix and I think by super tuesday at least two out of three candidates you posted above will have already dropped out......so we pretty much agree there too

oh for heavens sake, neither is pro war, where are you getting that information: being pro, support our country and troops is not pro-war.

I don't believe it. I'm suppose to take stock in what some unknown fat guy sitting behind a desk with headphones on says?

According to the polling organizations, the order is 1. Romney, 2. Gingrich, 3. Santorum, and 4. Paul.

There is a very warhawk faction within the GOP that has driven US war policy for years. The results we have seen have been the instituting of radical Islamic states where none existed before we interfered going back to the Clinton administration.

At this point, given the warhawks record of creating radical Islamic states, non-interventionism make logical sense to many. Obviously, YMMV.

What no one except Paul seems to be addressing is that if we do not get our monetary system straightened out the US will not have a military left and we may even leave troops stranded abroad unable to bring them home.

Romney winning the nomination will be good for Democratic House and Senate candidates. A Romney win will sap enthusiasm among conservatives. Also a Romney win will give Gary Johnson an opening to go after conservative votes.

Actually, Winter Sucks, enthusiasm will not be high amongst Dems in 2012. Its not historic, the economy has stunk, they hate our involvement in 2 wars for what they view as too long, they wanted a far bigger NHC. So quite frankly if some Repubs have their hissy fit and stay home, they may simply offset those doing it on the other side.
