you folks need to remember one thing - these people are flocking to the "anti-establishment Republican" candidate - i.e. the 2nd choice other than the "front runner" Guiliani (believe it or not, its still a thought in the back of people's minds despite his results). these people will flock from one failing candidate to the other until they eventually arrive at the last one standing - John McCain... and that "other" guy, Ron Paul. which is why it is ESSENTIAL we convert democrats and independents as the competitors skip out on the race...
