It would certainly make this race a lot more fun. I think it's possible if Paul cuts down Romney's lead to less than 10 points + snowstorm. Would be an interesting if Paul wins first two contests considering that he can't seriously compete for delegates in half of the states under any fathomable circumstances.

Not particularly, but I wouldn't mind seeing him win in Iowa.

Of course. No chance of it happening though unless he wins Iowa and even then it seems unlikely.

If Paul beats Romney in NH, I am curious to see who wins the nomination. I don't think it would be Paul, but Romney would be dead in the water.

I'm hoping for Romney to lose as many primaries as possible.

Of course, brings Romney down on his knees begging since he's at 41-43%

Yes. I picture Romney's concession speech in this scenario to be him flailing his arms wildly, repeating "does not compute," while smoke flies out the back.

Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

Considering that my candidate will have problems in New Hampshire, I would be more than happy to see someone other than Romney win there and negate the "Romney is inevitable" narrative going into South Carolina. Unfortunately, that isn't likely to happen.

It's going to require Romney to fall to fourth in Iowa for there to be a reasonable chance that he loses New Hampshire.  While I think Gingrich will have a bounce up in Iowa from his lows, it won't be that big a bounce.

Only other way for Romney to have a chance to lose New Hampshire, is he comes in third in Iowa and then Gingrich, Perry, and Bachmann all drop out before the primary, which ain't happening.

Very unlikely. Now hopefully he loses in SC.

I wonder if a 3rd place showing (behind Santorum and Gingrich) in SC would severely damage Romney.
