So what happens if Ron Paul wins Iowa and New Hampshire?

[Eraserhead]

This isn't very likely but it is probably at least worth discussing at this point. If Romney loses New Hampshire, it would be a massive body-blow to his campaign and the sense of inevitability he has shrouded himself in.

Would this provide an opening for Newt, Perry or someone else to make a comeback in South Carolina and Florida? Would Paul finally have a shot at taking one or two of those states himself? Could Paul actually surge to the front in the national polling (at least temporarily)? Would the entire Republican establishment nuke Paul into absolute oblivion?

[Zarn]

All I know is the more the establishment tries to hurt Paul, the better he does. It's when they leave him alone that he doesn't gain traction as fast.

There's no way how Paul could win South Carolina. However, a glimmer of hope for the Florida primary could rise.

He has a far better chance at South Carolina than Florida. Florida is full of neo-cons and Zionists, neither of whom have a very good view of him. South Carolina is full of evangelicals, government workers, and pro-gun rights supporters. He could probably win over enough evangelicals and gun-rights people to win South Carolina under the right circumstances, but I don't see him winning of the neoconservatives and Zionists short of endorsement from the Likud party.

TBD.  Unlikely, but it would create a sh**storm unlike the GOP primaries have ever seen.

NHI, politico and simfan will be punished by Papa Money Romney so hard that their butts should burn.

FYI:

We continue to see Romney dominating in New Hampshire with Paul now clearly in 2nd place...full results tomorrow

The question is the gap between the two.

Wow.

Thought the Paultards were currently trying to prove that they are NOT anti-Semites. Guess you missed the memo.

Oh, yes. But like Buchanan and Robertson, that will just peel away the leaners. He's already near his ceiling, and that is his real problem.

Why would you vote for Obama over a conservative with the high level of integrity of Dr. Paul?

Obviously we aren't anti-Semites, that would imply a hatred of Arabs (which just about every other Republican has, ironically enough).

Ben C. is, however, to some extent or another, a Jew.  in context this fact could have been used to potentiate the Hell-freezing-over effect he was seeking.  genuine curiosity inspired me to ask.

That's not what "anti-Semite" means.
