The Caucus States, where Paul has the organization and the truth about his message is finally getting to the people, are going to be tough to win for Newt and Romney.

knowing a lot about Ok and having friends and relatitves who live there, I can assure you, unless the sky were to fall, Paul will absolutely not win a think in OK. Anyone who posts something about an on line poll with a $5 charge and believes it holds weight isn't thinking clearly.

What we do know is, Dr. Paul doesn't get an 83 million dollar warchest from the little guy, like you and me.

I can't argue with you on that one, but the fact still remains, these polls are just bunk...

I think the thing we all have to look at and too many seem to miss: anytime, at this stage a candidate gets 20% more than their next competitor and the competitor has suspended his campaign you kmow there is something wrong. Even if the 2nd place candidate was still running, at this stage no one candidate would get nearly 50% in any legit poll, I don't care what poll it is. Now when we get down to 3 or 4 candidates, maybe..

Remember, nothing is impossible and never say never.

If there is will, there will be a way.

The will of the people are fed up with the status quo, you wish to perpetuate, at the moment.

The Oklahoma State Straw Poll showing wasn't something that was organized by the Paul campaign, if that is what you are inferring.

Why should we believe you? All your statement tells us is you hang out with folks who are like you.
Senator Coburn (Dr No of the Senate) from Oklahoma is making noise again. It wouldn't surprise me if he backed Ron Paul.
I wonder why it is doctors like Ron Paul, Tom Coburn and the late Lawrence McDonald (Dem by the way) who know what's up?

I'd tend to think it holds a bit more water than a free poll but not thinking clearly? If you want to see unclear see the first part of your post.
