As someone who works closely with the Republican Party and it’s primary process this year, I’m not sure where the idea that Ron Paul does worse as the election season goes on comes from. The only other time he ran, in 2008, his numbers improved as the field thinned to him, Huckabee, and McCain. Iowa and New Hampshire were among his worst states in ’08, thus the big emphasis on them in 2012 (in addition to them being early states). Paul has the money and organization to stay in the race the entire distance, and his main audience is a sleeper majority of the GOP that is tired of the social conservative, economically liberal, and interventionist foreign policy of the Bush years.
