This is interesting. Paul is a libraterian and doesn't exactly share all the views of these values conservatives.
In yet, his message is getting through to them.
Do any of you guys think Paul could actually win the Republican nomination?
I question this, because he is not part of the establishment.
He doesn't have the big $$$ backing him, but he seems to be getting very popular with the voters, especially the independents. Now the conservative Republicans?
Does he have any chance?

thats his gig, he games the system to prolong his time in the spotlight. he buses in his disciples and they stuff the ballot box in many of these straw polls.
he isn't going anywhere.



In a press conference following the announcement of the straw poll results at the annual Washington gathering of social conservatives, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins all but dismissed the results as irrelevant, citing 600 people who registered Saturday morning and, he said, “left after Ron Paul spoke.”

A total of 1,983 ballots were cast. “You do the math,” Perkins said.

his message is most correct, but in order for the USA to overcome problems, they must stay on the track they built....for now...maybe later for a Ron Type, not now.

Could he win , sure
