Is there a chance that Ron Paul could win in VA?

The polls I saw, it did not seem likely but I saw at Freeperville they were saying that the turnout seemed VERY low and they are begging people to vote for Paul to stop Romney's momentum.

I have to admit, I share their wishes for a good night for Uncle Kooks! Is there any kind of "operation hilarity" where Dems and Freepers might actually be able to pull this off?

Even if Paul comes close, IMO, it would be an embarrassment for Romney.

And also, no write-ins, as I understand it. You would think Paul would really benefit from the anti-Romney vote, with nobody else competing for it!

Especially given the fact there's not that many Romney fans there either!

If all the people that don't like Romney show up just to show what they feel Romney will be in for a thumping.
