Bwwwaaa, Yeah Paul is nuts but he continues to "best Giuliani"
Ron Paul continues to best Giuliani

Ron Paul, the Texas congressman frequently dismissed as a long shot candidate with no real chance at winning the Republican presidential nomination, has won nearly twice as many total votes to date as Rudy Giuliani, a candidate still widely viewed as a strong contender.

With his second place finish in Saturday’s Nevada caucus, where Paul defeated Giuliani in every county in the state, the Texas congressman has now received 106,414 votes to 60,220 for Giuliani. Both candidates have collected zero actual delegates.

Paul’s performance is a testament to his appeal to young voters, who have disproportionately supported his candidacy. According to exit and entrance polls, Paul came in second among 18 to 24-year-olds in New Hampshire and finished a close third in Iowa after Mitt Romney among the 17 to 29-year-old demographic.

“There are a lot of things in Ron Paul’s message that resonate with younger voters,” said Ethan Eilon, executive director of the College Republican National Committee. “The anti-establishment ring to what he’s got to say, typically younger voters tend to gravitate to that to some degree.”

2. *snort*
That really did make me snort. Sorry if you find that disgusting, but I do snort when I laugh sometimes.

So... thanks for the laugh/snort. :P
