Poll: Ron Paul Surges To Second Place Nationally...

Many of the delegates are up in the air still. Some are awarded on a proportionate basis. It's really not clear how many delegates he has at this point. A lot of it depends on how many of his supporters are selected to become delegates.

What would make you think ANY of the at large delegates would go to Ron Paul?

Hint: Paul is an outsider, he has no political capital, delegates will go to those with political momentum. Not the fourth place finisher

Paul has a lot of political capital.

With what party?
 
A surprising national poll released Tuesday found Texas Rep. Ron Paul surging to second place in the GOP presidential field, coming within eight percentage points of front-runner Mitt Romney.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll results show Paul at 21 percent nationally, with Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, at 29 percent.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich scored 19 percent support in the poll, conducted Feb. 2–6, while former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum took 18 percent.

Although national polls are largely insignificant in a primary season where individual states are of crucial importance, they do indicate trends in voter preferences.

Reuters/Ipsos found that despite big wins by Romney in Florida and Nevada, his popularity actually declined since early January. Meanwhile, Paul’s support grew by five percent.

Romney “still hasn’t really convinced all the Republicans across the country that he’s the guy to get behind,” said Ipsos research director Chris Jackson in a statement.

Gingrich’s support slipped slightly, while Santorum’s support also grew by five percentage points since early January.

Because part of Pauls caucus strategy is to teach his supporters in caucus states how the delegate system works and to encourage them to stick around after the voting to get selected as delegates. His supporters will vote for him in the convention regardless.

I would LOVE to see Paul try to steal the GOP nomination

That would lead to a unanimous Obama election
 
But, but........Paul is gunna win

If he doesn't....it must be some kind of conspiracy

Every politically controlled educational system will inculcate the doctrine of state supremacy sooner or later. . . . Once that doctrine has been accepted, it becomes an almost superhuman task to break the stranglehold of the political power over the life of the citizen. It has had his body, property and mind in its clutches from infancy. An octopus would sooner release its prey. A tax-supported, compulsory educational system is the complete model of the totalitarian state. –

Isabel Paterson, The God of the Machine (1943)
