you are just a bit of a joke...aren't you?
Except Paul has pretty regularly been in the top 2 during polling, even with the obvious media black out, bias at debates and preemptive character attacks.

Then you have ABC News posting stories regarding Iowa with titles like: "Gingrich Leads in Des Moines Register Poll, Romney Drops to Third", with a vague mention of who that person in second is.
Gingrich Leads in Des Moines Register Poll, Romney Drops to Third - ABC News

I was just reading the NBV/Marist poll for Iowa and it shows Newt in the lead amongst the Republican candidates, but also showed that the only Rep. candidate that could beat Obama if the election was tomorrow is Paul.

However, the poll also says Paul is the candidate best suited to face Obama in an election.

Against Paul, 42 percent of registered voters in Iowa support Obama and the same number — 43 percent — support Paul. Paul’s popularity among independents could be a crucial advantage. Paul leads Obama 42 percent to 35 percent among independent voters, according to the poll, and he also attracts 15% of Iowa’s Democrats. Not to mention that 16 percent of voters were undecided.

Against the rest of the field, Obama wins a hypothetical race handily.

huh...

today Gallup Tracking- nationally.... Gingrich 37, Romney 22, Paul 8, Perry 7, Bachmann 6, santorum 3......"no joke"Huntsman- "1"
RealClearPolitics - Latest Polls

Paul is tied for second with Romney in several of the Iowa polls but when you continue to the other states Paul is at ...S. Carolina-4, NH- 16...behind Romney and Gingrich(39/23) and also NBC/Marist, Colorado-6, Florida-4...his best showing is 17 or 18%


guess you can believe NBC if you want to.......
