After doing the Kucinich Vs. Paul poll, it made me think. Do either of these guys have even a miracle of a chance? Why not ask Digg? Since Ron Paul seems to have more of an internet following built up I thought wed start with him.

If the old media ignors him until it's too late, for them. the other candidates are starting to move toward Paul (in rhetoric).
of course digg users say yes, i bet he wont even get the party's nomination.
The party's nomination is the hard part. If he gets that, he can beat any democratic candidate.
The republican party will not stand a chance again the democratic party unless they nominate Ron Paul.
If the internet is the deciding factor in the 2007 primary, both Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich could well have a chance.
Ron Paul is the only Republican that can beat a Democrat in the general election. And Dennis Kucinich may be the only Democrat that could beat Ron Paul.
I can't imagine a war-tired electorate voting for a pro-war Democrat if they could vote for Ron Paul. That's why Kucinich is the only man that has a chance to beat him (assuming that the war is still the central issue).
Dave and Brad are right. The corporate media just don't WANT to "get it".
I'm afraid neither one will be allowed to win their respective party's nomination process. The reality is that the two parties control the candidate selection well before the Primaries are over.
However, if either of them chooses to switch to an independent candidacy, the odds on winning go way up. Believe it or not, this is the year that Third Parties and Independents have a genuine chance.
Dennis and Ron are both good people who agree on many issues -- just check out their voting records.
The better question for this poll SHOULD BE do any of the GWB pundit New World Order shills have a chance? The answer is an unequivocal..."NO".

Ron Paul has a chance to get the Repub. nomination, but only if the 75% of the electorate that watches the MSM can be reached.
So..... What's the answer to the MSM's lack of reporting? ... Yard signs! A yard sign for every Ron Paul supporter! ... because yard signs are visible to everyone!
;-)
Have you put up your yard sign yet?
If you had asked me before May 15, I would have told you no chance at all.
But post-Rudy, Paul has risen to fair chance territory. Not a good chance, but a fair one.
The thing that kills him and other dark horse candidates is the ever shrinking election deadlines that the states are pushing forward. Now four months and counting.
The narrow time lessens the possibility of something leaking out or being done by the mainstream candidates to kill their campaign.
Also, early balloting will begin around six weeks before that further narrowing the window.
What helps Paul is the many candidates who are polar opposite of him, and rhetorical clones of one another. They will divide up the vote among themselves.
Meaning a candidate with only a small percentage can win the election.
Unfortunately, I do not see Paul getting much more than 15% of the vote in a GOP primary. And 15% won't win. But 25% might.
Ron Paul did respectably well in the values vote debate considering his opposition to any kind of legislating of morality. He did not need to "cut and run" away from Jesus.
All of the "top tier" candidates dissed on the religeous conservatives by being "too busy".
We will soon see if that hurts them or not.
Ron Paul has won "second choice" status of the religeous right. At the same time he won "first choice" of those republicans who fear the worst aspects of the religeous right. Ron Paul has captured the center idealogically.
Warren Buffet is probably betting on him already.
