...Yes Chris, liberals are evil, George Bush is a fine decent man and Republicans are saving the world! (What dimension of reality do you live in anyway?)

Yea, Anderson! And the Osama bin Laden supporters would all be liberal democrats! LOL! (Harry Reid leading them)

Speaking of polls, the only true statistical dead heat is if the liberal democrat Hillary-female supporters are more annoying, or the democrat liberal black-Obama-muslim supporters, or Ron Paul supporters.

We will see in the end.

Also, just because he's raised a lot of money doesn't mean that'll magically turn into votes and support.

I'm not sure about that. Let me preface by saying I don't support Ron Paul. But the number of contributions, rather than the amount, is pretty incredible. It's a safe bet these people will go to the polls while a lot of republicans might just stay home this year. A long shot no doubt. But then again, aren't all the others as well?

I would just like to point out that given the stellar performance of "other" (less than 0.5%), and since I can clearly be labeled as within the "other" field, I am statistically tied with Ron Paul. However, in the spirit of the season, I will concede that Ron CLEARLY has more support than I do.

I love how Paul supporters come out and say "it is ridiculous that we are tied with Duncan Hunter. We CLEARLY have more support than Duncan Hunter!" Well, let me just remind said supporters that anecdotal evidence of support doesn't translate into national support. Just because you have encountered a lot of Paul supporters doesn't mean that there is a lot of support for him. Also, just because he's raised a lot of money doesn't mean that'll magically turn into votes and support.

Predictions for anything beyond NH and Iowa are probably premature. At least one candidate will drop out after those showings, and two will emerge seriously wounded. Thompson is probably first to go, as he's almost out of money. Romney can float his campaign for as long as he wants to, and Paul has coffers aplenty. Huckabee isn't rolling in dough, so he needs two top three finishes to keep the Evangelical support train rolling. Duncan Hunter is already out. John McCain is the wild card. He could very well be considered top tier after NH and Iowa. Giuliani's "focus on the later states" strategy is tanking, but it is his only chance now, as he's screwed in NH and Iowa. Prediction: Romney Hope: Paul

I would expect that Osama bin Laden could poll 3%-5% in the U.S.
