And did I see another comment by you where you actually said Ron Paul would be supported by any party? That he could run as a democrat? On what planet? Cradle-to-grave liberals are going to support a limited government libertarian?

Sometimes you say things that make a lot of sense, sometimes you don’t. This is the latter and it makes me forget anything you might have said that actually had merit

Ron Paul won 39% of the straw polls held since the debates began.

Ron Paul won all official debate polls except one. Not to mention the dozens of unofficial polls he won by landslides.

Ron Paul was in the top five per GOP campaign finances in Q2 and Q3..now he is in second place.

#1 in Straw polls
#1 in debate polls
#1 in unofficial online polls
#2 in finances

You can hate me for not kissing PD’s @ss if you want, but the core of this web site if either really flawed or really biased.

Mainstream polls are based on faulty assumptions (just asking people who voted for Bush) and on who is paying them (Mitt and Rudy).

But this is an online site with bright, savy, and ambitious writers. You are supposed to be ahead of the curve. Your OWN poll (with 500 attendees) showed Ron Paul winning by a giant margin (http://www.usastrawpolls.com/states/Nevada-Straw-Polls.html ), yet you defer your minds to the mainstream media stats.

I suppose your clients are the mainstream media. Thus, you have to reflect *their* stats. Not to mention, you have to appeal to the average Joe to keep traffic high. Profit before journalistic principles. People think capitalism requires people to sell out, but it is the opposite. And sure you can make a quick buck that way. But having integrity is what ultimately makes people and businesses successful in the long run.

So how long does PD want to stick around?

BoruJudasDedrich: Oh how quickly you forget that for months your guy wasn’t even ranked in the top ten. I’d say being in 5th is better than not being in the top 10, eh? And just for fun, find us another ranking online where he’s this high…

I think it has become very clear that only Rudy or Mitt are up to the task of taking on Hillary.

Although, I think only Rudy can defeat Hillary.

You used to be able to click Power Rankings in the top navigation and get the complete history of PD’s Power Rankings. But that feature no longer exists…but then again, PD has never posted the science behind their rankings.

It’s one thing to say “Gee, I didn’t know he was a drug pusher.” But to say “Well, he is and always will be a friend of mine.”

WTF!

This is further proof that neo-cons are just liberals in Pub clothing. Only liberals give criminals a pass.

You have Bill Richardson ahead of Joe Biden? And you have Richardson *gaining* momentum?! As for Obama, I’d argue that he’s running in place, rather than gaining or losing momentum.

And Stephen Colbert’s bid for making the South Carolina ballot failed, so I don’t know why he is even being included in the rankings at all.

I do agree with your Republican rankings, however.
