"There's zero chance, Rcder. I think Paul will do better than he is being polled at because I think the mainstream media is biased against his candidacy, but I think this will only have a slight effect on the outcome. You're counting on a Republican base that is anti-drug, pro-war, and anti-freedom quite frankly to go through a massive ideological shift virtually overnight"

Well the Tea party did make an impact upon Congress in the last election but how much of the Tea Party is Paul supporters and how much of it like Bachmann-like supporters is a valid question.

"Why so pessimistic? I mean, Ron Paul could win, just like I could win the lotto tomorrow, but he could still win nonetheless."

Well do to the nature of free will, yes anything logical can happen. However, what is likely to happen is what I meant by my statement.

Romney is going to win whether Bachmann is there or not.
