Ron Paul is the only Republican that's fighting to win Nevada

[Renew Deal]

The others have mostly bailed.

1. Mittens may have a chance here, since there are a lot of Mormons in NV n/t

[Renew Deal]

2. I think it's his too.

For the same reason. He'll probably get most of the mountain west states.

4. He's already got WY - He'll definitely get UT, maybe ID too

But I wouldn't count on him winning CO or AZ. McCain's pretty certain to get AZ. And CO is a pretty diverse state.

3. He's got support from the Bunny Ranch.

Man has some odd friends.

[Renew Deal]

5. They keep spirits hight

I wonder if any of the Paul people are going to get shotgun Elvis weddings with each other...

6. I would have thought Ron Paul would be pulling bigger primary numbers

I must have overestimated the number of anti-war, anti-choice, pro-corporate racists out there.

[Renew Deal]

7. He got 10% in IA and NH.

That's a great number for him.

[skipos]

8. I think it was 7% in NH actually.

He doesn't outperform the pre-election polls though, and THAT is what surprises me. He coalition of racists and underinformed anti-war college kids isn't coming out to vote like I would have expected. Zogby said awhile ago that he could see Paul winning NH, and I agreed at the time. I thought Paul's base was so motivated that they would all come out, while many passive Romney and McCain fans would just stay home. It isn't working out that way.

For his record breaking $, and his diehard support, 10% and 7% is ok, but not great.
I think he would be a terrible president, so I don't really care one way or another.

9. It's "who's," not "that's."

Sorry. I see this error everywhere and it drives me nuts.
