When you also consider that Paul is seperated from third place by a percentage just oustside the marginn of error, you begin to realise that a 3rd place finish for Paul is not unrealisitc at all.

Here are my predictions - GOP - Romney, Huckabee, McCain, Thompson Dems - Obama, Clinton, Edwards, Biden BTW - did you hear that Edwards bus broke down on the way to his first appearance today, making him 45 min. late and with no transportation? A broken bus by the side of the road - quite the metaphor! The polls you may be reading were taken BEFORE the assination of bhutto and the bizarre non-commercial standup by Huckabee.
