I’m sorry but polls don’t agree with you. Ron Paul beats Obama and Romney doesn’t. That gets rid of your unelectability comment. Narrow band? Paul wins 10 states and that’s a narrow band? Paul has taken over state GOP chairs about 10 states and that’s a narrow band? I’m sorry your reality doesn’t match with facts. The most important thing Paul does win or lose is get traction in all of these states and helps Ron Paul people get elected to local offices and it sets the ground work for the future, even if he doesn’t win the general election.[/quote]
He remains unelectable because he can’t get nominated. Winning 10 caucus states (as debatable as that argument is) won’t do it.
Check the polls again. I can find a single poll in the last three months that showed Paul ahead of Obama. RCP has 40 polls listing Paul v. Obama since the first of the year, with Paul ahead in 2 of them, with the recent average of Obama +7.4. That would mean Obama is ahead in 38 of 40. Does that sound like an upbeat set of facts for Ron Paul? Have it in the bag, does he?
Obama v. Romney on the other hand, has the recent average of Obama +3.3. Add in all the Rasumussen polls and its much closer.
You can’t look at a single poll and believe it to be determinitive. Some pollsters have built in biases by design (think Rasmussen).
Six months before the election and Ron Paul is still a punchline. He wasn’t a formidable candidate when the campaign began, he still isn’t. He isn’t gong anywhere.
