Chris, I just read that Ron Paul raised 5,080,000 rather than 5.5 million, but more importantly, he’s got between 5 million and 6 million CASH ON HAND. In any event, as we all know, if money were the only thing, “ex-President John Connally” would be writing his memoirs, but that didn’t happen. Indeed, in Statewide Straw Polls, it isn’t Rudy McRomney at all, it’s Ron Rompson. If you look at the five major Statewide Straw Polls to date, IA, IL, AL, TX, and MD, there is only one candidate who has been in the top five in all five and that’s ROn Paul. There’s only one candidate who’s been in the top three in four of the five, and that’s Ron Paul. Indeed, if there had been only 11 more votes for Ron Paul in IL and 50 in TX, it would be true that only one candidate was in the top TWO for four of the five straw polls, and that’s Ron Paul, but instead, it’s sadly true that only one candidate has been in the top two three of the five times, and that’s Mitt Romney. Paulistas need to realize that Rudy and McCain are no longer relevant and we need to start taking on Mitt and Fred, because believe me, Mitt figured out WE were the REAL contender a long time ago, back during the ABC debate just before Iowa, just as Rudy figured out we were the main contender during the Fox debate, and got creamed in the texting polly by Mitt and Ron. Indeed, the “fake” world of internet polls and texting polls (which favored BOTH Mitt and Ron) have been more accurate than the ‘real’ land-line polls where the only people left in America who not only have a land-line (many have just dumped them entirely for cell phones) but actually are there when a pollster would be calling and actually ANSWER it instead of letting it roll over are War Widows on Social Security Eating Cat Food for McCain, Unemployed Muslim-hating LOSERS for Rudy, and Desperate Housewives for Romney.
