| New Hampshire GOP Primary | |
|---|---|
| John McCain | 31% | 
| Mitt Romney | 26% | 
| Ron Paul | 14% | 
| Mike Huckabee | 11% | 
| Rudy Giuliani | 8% | 
| Fred Thompson | 5% | 
| Some other candidate | 2% | 
From the Rasmussen poll for January 4. I still don't expect Paul to win--and have some doubts about what would happen if he did--but it's harder to deny that he is tapping into something.
UPDATE (Jan 11): Well, I blew it on that call. Between falling below Gulliani and the newsletter problem, it may well be that Paul has peaked. Even if true, he's performed a service in getting people to discuss libertarian ideas in public. His worldview may be impractical, but at least it gets people to think. What other candidate has done that?

what a depressing limeup
lineup, even...
So true.
Paul had the potential to make some real progress in this election. I have to wonder how he thought he could win the Republican nomination with his stances regarding foriegn policy. Had he taken a more moderate stance and not allowed the others to pick him apart in the debates, he could definiately been a front runner. A shame really.
