From what I've seen and heard, I am beginning to belive that he may have a chance to win. If not the Republican nomination, possibly the general election as an independent. He seems to have major grass roots support. I don't see how the electoral college could get away with not electing him if he recieves the majority of the popular vote. Wouldn't that cause a constitutional crisis?

i think of Ron Paul would merely be what u.s. desires good now and the worst element I even have heard used against him is his obvious stance in direction of isolationism yet thinking the flaws this united states faces in the present day isolation would be a stable element and that i think of it is nicely worth a attempt. What stable is dwelling in the computer age as quickly as we are able to deliver a lot of counsel around the oceans via potential of sattelite if we nevertheless choose international employer flights that proceed to grant the terrorist regimes that we created with extra funds? great to hearken to stable information for the Dr. i'm going to truly be there for the primaries.

< 5% support according to Rasumssen. He is a horse that is on it's last legs, not one to win the race.

Most of his support comes from high school kids who want free drugs and a total shut down of the educations system both of which he supports. Since they have no vote, he has no chance. This is why he raises a lot of lunch money but does so poorly in the polls. He has no chance of winning.

Even tho' I like and respect Mr. Paul. I don't think he can win the election. Nationwide polls: NBC-4%, ABC-3%, American Research-5%, CBS-4%-CNN-6%, Cook Political-6%, Democracy Corps.-1%, Diageo-7%, Fox News-3%, Gallup-5%, Ipsos-0%, Marist-2%, McLaughlin & Associates-0%, Newsweek-3%, Pew Research-4%, Quinnipiac-2%, Time Magazine-0%, USA Today-3% (which is the same % as Alan Keyes has with them), Zogby 4% and Miscellaneous Pollsters-6%. I listed all the polls purposely so no one could yell about I don't like that poll & this poll says that and another poll says this, etc. With numbers like these Mr. Paul really doesn't have a shot at the Presidency regardless of what his supporters say. I think he believes in most everything he is saying, but in my opinion it is more like he is making a protest statement and honestly I can't blame him for that. But he doesn't have a chance and these are critical times in the Global Community and the votes he does get could cause the US to get the wrong candidate in there for President. But he said that if he didn't get the nominee from the Republican party, that he would not run on another ticket. Hopefully, he is a man of his word. Time will tell.

Who called Ron Paul a liberal Democrat? Someone has a real problem deciphering American politics. Shoot me an email if you would like to learn about where you live young one.

More like the dark donkey based on first impressions. Has next to no stage presence and seems oblivious to cameras and modern communications. Maybe that is a good thing. Not sure what to make of this odd duck.

I certainly don't.
The law is that if he doesn't get a majority of electoral votes, the House votes for the next president, with each state casting one vote. Each state's vote is decided by the majority party of their delegation. You can't have a constitutional crisis when you have laws that cover this situation.
Added later: We have already had three elections where the winner did not have the majority of the popular vote.
Added again: If he were to get the majority of the votes in enough states to get their electoral college vote (49 states are winner take all) he would be elected president. Sorry I know you're passionate about him, but I just don't see it happening.

Ron Paul is a Liberal/Democrat that was elected as a republican. Once you understand that... he's no mystery.
