The problem is that the establishment candidates have voters. No matter what, voters vote. Doesn't matter who they are voting for, they just do it because they have to.
Ron Paul does not have voters. He has supporters. Supporters support. Support does not translate into votes.
The bottom line is that we are not winning the establishment voters over. Newt and Romney are. They could effectively stop campaigning nation wide and still get 70% of the vote in every state. The media controls the voters. Its nice to see we have a built in 20% or so that will vote for paul out of his supporter base, but it will not go much higher until we can turn out the old people. This is what happens when you try to create new voters out of thin air (the kids). They don't show, they forget, etc. Keep in mind that the level of support the people on this forum have is NOT indicative of typical Ron Paul support. Every supporter is not like the members here. I managed to many of my family members and friends to vote, but other than my mom, not a single one was willing to help canvass, sign wave, call, etc. Out of 25 people, only 1 went above and beyond.
