Well congrats to all you Ron Paul cultists. It looks as if the republican field is now so bad Paul has a legit shot at this thing. Romney is on his way down and it's only a matter of time before Newt says something so stupid he blows his chances.
So Paul in 3rd place behind two candidates who have a very high chance of self destruction. Unlike those two front runners Paul has a much more consistent platform that's easy to understand. He's not a flip flopper, he believes what he says, the way he speaks makes him easy for republican primary voters to understand, and the fact that his positions are totally insane is actually a bonus in a republican primary.
This means not only is Paul likely to be considered a front runner at some point, but if he does manage to gain a lead, he's by far the most likely to keep it since he doesn't have inconsistent positions that other candidates can use to attack him with.
So have hope cultists! Ron Paul is for real at this point. He might actually win this.
