Calls are generated from the local phone books, now in the computer age, the online phone books.
Or the cell number was listed as a business phone.

Gotcha. It's his business number too. That would explain it.

Paul barely got the microphone last night and when he did he failed to win over anyone who did not already support him. He will finish last in SC.

The only drama left is whether Gingrich can BS his way past Romney for first place and keep the thing going for a while though the final outcome is certainly a Romney nomination

I say Gingrich will beat Romney in SC, with Santorum in third. Santorum was the winner last night. Santorum will do well enough that he will stay in as a spoiler splitting the conservatives and ensuring Romney gets nominated. I think that is why he is still there: the Wall Street money is keeping him going so that their pal Romney wins.

As you said, your opinion. We all have them.
The only thing I would say is Paul didn't get a chance to talk as much as the others, had he, who knows what the outcome would have been. I don't think the polls have him the winner. He was a class act when that Ahole asked Newt about his personal act, but all the canidates handled that well.

I'm really curious how you know Paul "failed to win ANYONE over".

I think last night, we saw all 4 of them for what they really are: 1) Santorum is the "I'm more of this or that than anyone else" guy. 2) Romney is the "Don't look at my taxes because chances are that everyone else has been paying more of it than I" guy. 3) Newt is the "I'm a scumbag, but these things don't matter in order to be president" guy. 4) Ron Paul is the "real solutions to the real problems" guy.

Wrong. I received at least 10 survey calls a day on my cell phone before the Iowa caucus. It's not a business line, isn't published anywhere, is listed on the Do Not Call registry.

If you've ever used your cell phone to call a business, or ever submitted it on any sort of application or other document, somebody is eventually going to make it available to anyone who's willing to pay for it.

What? Reality, nope never gets old for me.

FYI, I am against the war on drugs, but that does equate to me supporting Paul.

Have you noticed Paul has done better than polls predict.

Now we are out of a caucus state, you may... or may not see something truly amazing. Only time will tell.
You guys have been saying the same thing since Iowa, let me know when that "surge" kicks in.
