Hold on. Paul could win this thing: It's easy to downplay the strength of Paul's performance , arguing that coming in as the runner-up "will be no more meaningful than was Pat Buchanan's actual win here in 1996," says Brian Doherty at Reason. But Paul isn't just meeting expectations, he's surpassing them. Paul has a clear set of ideas and the "widespread ability to inspire energetic and effective activism." Don't be surprised if Tea Party members or those who identify as "true conservatives" fall into line behind him as the field narrows, making Paul a severe threat to Romney's run at the nomination.
