1. Probably not.
He's between 3% and 6% in just about all polls.

3. I doubt it.
Will he attempt a third party run when he loses?

7. He once ran as the Libertarian prez nominee
Before he decided to join the repugs. And he only joined them because he had no chance of actually being elected to office as a Libertarian.

4. He's polling at 8% in New Hampshire; I think he'll wind up at 10% to 12% there which is good because
Paul steals votes from McCain who is by far the most electable Repub.

5. I could see NH being one
He's got early buzz and that Libertarian stuff sells well there.

Lots of libertarians up there.

9. Maybe after it doesn't matter anymore.
I could see his supporters turning out at one where not many other people bother.

12. Paul has polled as high as 11% in South Carolina, 8% in Nevada and Iowa, 7% in Michigan, etc.
Paul will finish between 10% and 15% in a number of states but he won't win any of them.

13. 25% of the country is a dangerous combination of nuts, uninformed, and just plain stupid.
So yes, in a handful of states.

14. I hope Paul does well enough ...
... to convince him he has a chance to win as a Libertarian. Or at least bring that party and its
the agenda kind of broad-based exposure it has long desired.

That, along with his supporters working hard to raise the cash he'll need to make a decent go
of it, could enable Paul to help assist the GOP to a historic debacle.

How cool would that be ...
