The Broncos will get a few first downs and will likely score a time or two. Doesn't mean they have a chance at winning. Just because you win a primary or two doesn't mean you have a chance of winning. Paul will never win because he can't unify the party. People are still pissed that he didn't give his delegates to McCain last time around like he should've.

Hulk, the vast majority of people have no  ing idea what you're talking about when it comes to "giving people delegates." Also, Paul is running strong in just about every state, he does the best of anyone vs. Obama, etc. To say he has "no chance" is every bit as absurd now as it was when you said it months ago. The only difference is that now he's gaining steam and peaking at the right time. The great thing about him is that while Romney, Gingrich, Cain, Santorum, Bachmann, Perry and Huntsman have all gone up and down like rollercoasters, Ron Paul's support has steadily gained. It's not going anywhere. If he wins Iowa, people WILL vote for him in other primary states and support him in caucus states. I can guarantee that... In fact, I personally spoke to at least a half dozen people in New Hampshire who flat out told me that they'd support Paul if he wins in Iowa. And that was without me mentioning or alluding to that I was calling them from the Ron Paul headquarters. |

I'd challenge you again to put your money where your mouth is, but I know you won't. He has no chance to win. He can easily be tarred and feathered by his opponents. Obama's camp would eat him alive. He can't unite the Republican party. If Romney, Gingrich, Cain, Santorum, Bachman, Perry and Huntsman all walk in front of the same bus and Paul gets nominated, then his nomination would split the party in two.

I already did put my money where my mouth is. You gave me 10,000/1 odds on Ron Paul winning the nomination. My one penny vs. your $100. Winner donates to charity, remember?

Fox News called the race for Romney even though voting has yet to begin.

What were the latest poll numbers for Iowa? Last poll done by PPP was Paul 20% Romney 19% Santorum 18% Carl Cameron on FOX was calling it for Romney. Chris "Iowa is worthless if Paul wins" Wallace is now hyping up how Iowa can't be trusted because he says they usually pick losers. |

they usually pick losers. Except for the fact that the past two Presidents both won Iowa. Nevermind the facts, though, right FOX? |

If paul ends up taking iowa, I fully expect news channels to write it off as a fluke.

Ed Schultz just said all Paul talks about is ending the Fed and about how bad America is.

According to AP, Paul's currently in the lead, with Santorum and Romney closely following. 7 votes for Herman Cain is kind of hilarious though.  |

Top 3 are Santorum(12,417), Romney(12,255), and Paul(11,238) as of 9:05 Central. Herman Cain has 22 votes.
At this point, you are fighting over one or two delegates, MAYBE. Iowa is a proportion state, as opposed to a state like Illinois, which is a winner-take-all state.

Santorum and Romney are in a virtual tie, but Santorum has a small lead, with Crazy Paul in 3rd!

Iowa is about half way through. Santorum and Romney are pretty close with Paul a little farther away
