From an EPJ comment on the Romney's chances vs Paul's chances discussion:
Quote:
* in 2008 Romney lost to the guy who got crushed by Obama
* Romney gets approximately 1/10th the number of supporters at his rallys as Ron Paul and Obama, showing a huge lack of general support
* Romney trails Ron Paul with Independent and young/first-time voters, which are the demographics Obama used to win in 2008
* Romney won many of non-binding straw polls due to having tons of special interest donations to spend on television and print ads, but he has a hard time getting enough dedicated supporters to win the delegates races, which are what matter.
