I can tell you another guy that last time around had a lot of appeal in internet corners and got completely stump when the voting started....remember Howard Dean? And in Dean case he was leading everypoll until he lost in hes mojo with the "Scream Speech" and there was no money that could save his campaign, so no I dont think money would be a factor.
Third Place
Ron Paul -- Rival campaigns are beginning to nervously speculate that Paul will finish in the top three on January 3. Paul broke double digits in at least two polls for the first time this week and he seems particularly strong in areas of the state where the media has less of an impact on political deliberations -- especially in rural northwest and southern Iowa. Check out a Ron Paul supporters' websites and you'll see detailed discussions about caucus rules and strategy. The Paulites are more ready for caucus night than most observers realize

That is actually untrue. Ron Paul has more cash on hand than any other republican candidate right now.
Huckabee, who is the front runner in the Iowa polls, has only raised a mere 5 million to Paul's 19 million this quarter.

... Because no offence, but you're coming off as someone who is more interested in whose "popular" -- rather than the important issues.
It really shouldn't matter whether or not he has a chance at winning. You vote for the one that you think is best, and that's that.

My friend you are wrong, in my second post inthis thread and address specifically why I woulnt vote for Ron Paul and I mention the issues that I believe he is way to extreme, radical, irresponsible and trying to misguided voters.
