I am still undecided, but I find it interesting that Ron Paul has got so many votes. I guess people are looking for change. This could be a way to break the 2 party system, as Ron is a Libertarian.

Party congratulates Congressman Paul for his success in spreading a message of peace, prosperity and freedom
Charleston, SC - In a meeting of the Libertarian National Committee held this weekend in Charleston, South Carolina, former Congressman Bob Barr proposed a resolution urging Congressman Ron Paul to seek the Libertarian Party's presidential nomination.
The resolution passed unanimously and is included below:
WHEREAS, the Libertarian Party and Congressman Ron Paul share many common principles for liberty and prosperity in America, and
WHEREAS, Congressman Ron Paul is a member of the Libertarian Party in good standing, and
WHEREAS, Congressman Ron Paul was previously nominated by the delegates of the Libertarian National Convention to serve as the Libertarian Party's 1988 presidential candidate, and
WHEREAS, Congressman Ron Paul, through the efforts of his current presidential campaign, has ignited a renewed passion for liberty across America, and
WHEREAS, for over 35 years, the members of the Libertarian Party have continually fought for liberty through activism, education and the political process, and
WHEREAS, the Libertarian Party and its members have remained respectful, and in many cases, supportive of Congressman Ron Paul's campaign seeking the Republican presidential nomination, and
WHEREAS, the Libertarian National Committee encourages competition in the race for the Libertarian Party's presidential nomination and is appreciative of all candidates who make the commitment to run;
NOW THEREFORE, in the event that Republican primary voters select a candidate other than Congressman Paul in February of 2008, the Libertarian National Committee urges Congressman Ron Paul to seek the presidential nomination of the Libertarian Party to be decided in Denver, Colorado during Memorial Day weekend of 2008.
FURTHERMORE, The Libertarian National Committee congratulates Congressman Paul for his success in spreading a message of peace, prosperity and freedom and also thanks the thousands of activists and supporters across the United States who have made this unprecedented success possible.
RESOLUTION ADOPTED unanimously by vote of the Libertarian National Committee, the 9th day of December 2007, in the city of Charleston, State of South Carolina, United States of America.
I often wonder that if Ron Paul doesn't get the Republican nomination, will he go back to the Libertarian Party and run? If this would happen, it would increase Hilliary's chance of getting elected.0 -
he's got 75%, next closest has 15%, looks like a shoe-in candidate. 0 -
Hate to break it to you, but this is not a scientific poll. It is as useful as a screen door on a submarine. 0 -

Ron Paul's whole campaign is based on the Internet so it is not the least bit surprising that his supporters - internet users - are seeking out and skewing online polls. In traditional polls he has not broken out of single digit percentages and is at this point an extreme longshot to win nomination. 0 -
Traditional polls don't poll the people.
Political lobbyist funded polls don't count. [:D]0 -

Son marched in two separate Christmas parades two Saturdays ago. In both towns, Ron Paul supporters were out in force, some walking the route chatting up people and handing out bumper stickers and literature. Others on a small float throwing out candy and frisbees to the kids. I was kinda surprised. Folks were responding well to the walkers. 0
