Not any more so as they are against Huckabee, Brownback, Hunter, Richardson, Biden, etc.

For how many things that I disagree with Paul on (primarily his extremes on some of the issues), I don't think I would have an issue with him as President.  I just don't see myself voting for him in a primary though (if VA had an open primary for independents to vote for anyone).

The difference with the republicans you mentioned is that they are not doing well in any polls.
They didn't win the Fox news text message polls or very many internet polls. And in head to head competition with Ron Paul in straw polls they all lose badly.

Ron Paul's Head-to-Head Records (Win-Lose-Tie):
Ron Paul v. Rudy Giuliani 31-5-0
Ron Paul v. Mitt Romney 24-12-0
Ron Paul v. Fred Thompson 21-14-0
Ron Paul v. John McCain 32-3-0
Ron Paul v. Mike Huckabee 30-4-1
Ron Paul v. Sam Brownback 32-2-1
Ron Paul v. Tom Tancredo 33-1-0
Ron Paul v. Duncan Hunter 32-2-0

Not anything against Paul here, but internet polls and text messaging polls are tough to take seriously since they are not very scientific.  My belief would be the same if it were Rudy, McCain, or Romney leading the results as well.

I'm surprised the political signs are going up already. I haven't seen any here.

I haven't seen any presidential signs yet, but I've seen tons of bumperstickers.

Well Ron Paul won last night's debate with 34% of the vote in Fox News' text message poll. That makes three in a row for him even though he was off his game last night. He is also ahead in World Net Daily's poll today with 49% of the vote. That says a lot because WND is much more of a conserative site than a Libertarian one, so it isn't the best forum for Ron Paul.

What's more impressive about those silly text messaging polls is that Huckabee was only a few points behind Paul.
