Ron Paul in a Landslide?

Before anyone gets their knickers in a knot, let me hasten to say that the headline for this article is in reference to a “USA Today” poll that I took recently—and yes, Ron Paul did indeed win my poll in a landslide. The results took me by surprise. Link

The online poll weighed your answers to various questions against the answers given by the different 2012 Presidential candidates and tabulated the results.

The results of my poll looked something like this:

1. Paul (just under 70% agreement)

2. Bachmann (just under 50%)

3. Gingrich (just under 49%)

4, 5, and 6. Santorum, Perry, Huntsman—in that order (all close – around 45%)

7. Romney

8.Obama

As you can see, Ron Paul did not win my poll in a “squeaker”—he won it walking away. This left me to wonder if I should take a more in-depth look at the Ron Paul candidacy, nay-saying pundits notwithstanding. Link Link
