Well, you have not been following the events surrounding this as closely as me. Also, there has not been a coordinated attack against any other candidate from the establishment itself, other Paul.

So, yes, if he loses, this will be a reason.

Without convincing, reproducible evidence suggesting otherwise, the null hypothesis must be accepted to the alternative - i.e., a candidate loses because less people voted for him/her.

Meanwhile Santorum enjoys a huge bump.

Paul - 17% (was 24% 12/18)
Romney - 17% (was 18% 12/18)
Gingrich - 17% (was 13% 12/18)
Santorum - 13% (was 3% 12/18)
Bachmann - 12% (was 10% 12/18)
Perry - 11% (was 16% 12/18)

Still lots of undecided voters out there.
Santorum is pro-choice on abortion...how will that play with republicans??

First off, what is "Insider Advantage" and does it have any credibiilty?

Secondly, are you Insider Advantage? If not, why are you not linking to source?

Finally, historically, the best predictor of the Iowa Caucus is the Iowa Poll. From my understanding, the final poll will be in the Des Moines Register this weekend. (Sunday?) That said, with so many without land lines these days, polls are becoming less and less reliable.

Seriously? Do you follow political polling?

RealClearPolitics - Election 2012 - Iowa Republican Presidential Caucus

Click on 'Insider Advantage' and download the pdf.

In the future, try a Google Search before writing silly comments like this. Thanks.
