Who got 33% of a conservative straw poll, over two times what Mitt Romney, the second place candidate, got. Giuliani and Thompson only got single digit scores. Yeah, those front runners really know how to bring the base together, don't they? It's no wonder why Ron Paul did so well against these guys. Considering the fact that he is a plain-spoken, died-in-the-wool, small government conservative, he'd be the best person for energizing the conservative Republican base against Hillary Clinton. Hell, just look at Thompson. The dude is boring as hell as a speaker. He can't keep even his own supporters excited. His campaign reminds me of the final scene of El Cid where the Cid's supporters strap his dead body to a horse, ride it out into battle, and pray that it simultaneously serves as a rallying point for their people, and scares their enemies into fleeing.

Pretty pathetic to cite a poll of only 350 people, sampled from a pre-selected population, as evidence of Ron Paul's popularity.
Reminds me of those people who claims a military endorsement because 12 military people donated to his campaign.
Dyed in the wool, not died. I hate to be that girl (although I am, really), but in this particular case the homophone has such an unpleasant implication.
Nothing more than a case of not reading over a comment before hitting the submit button, I can assure you of that.
