Ron Paul - the one who can't win?

and now Suzanne has something to say about election 2008 :: Ron Paul :: socio-political commentary

I know, I know, the MSM (main-stream media) tells us he can't win, so why bother. Well, here is one reason:

In West Virginia, delegates to the February 5th Republican state convention are being registered. Guess who has the most delegates supporting him?

Ron Paul ~ 217
Mitt Romney ~ 212
Fred Thompson ~ 163
Mike Huckabee ~ 129
Rudy Giuliani ~ 90
John McCain ~ 25
Duncan Hunter ~ 7
Alan Keyes ~ 5
Tom Tancredo ~ 0
Uncommitted ~ 630

And this from the Virginia GOP Retreat Straw Poll Results from Dec 1::

Ron Paul 182 (38%)
Fred Thompson 112 (23%)
Mike Huckabee 51 (11%)
Rudy Guiliani 45 (9%)
Mitt Romney 43 (9%)
John McCain 23 (5%)
Duncan Hunter 19 (4%)
Tom Tancredo 4 (<1%) size="1">source: Washington Times

But of course, the MSM knows best. Sigh.

Here I chatter about books, parenting, election 2008, recipes, teaching college writing, and the adventures of getting settled in with our two freshly (Fall 06) adopted school-age children from Russia.

I am the wife of a man I call My Gift from a Generous God. I am mama to two lovely children, Dandy and Chickadee that became ours in September 2006 in a court-room in Siberia. I am the daughter of two people whom I love and admire. One of them, my dad, is a new (Dec 06) paraplegic.

In my previous life (B.C. - before children), I was a college English teacher, specializing in composition and ESL composition.
