Why don't they say that about Tom Tancredo or Duncan Hunter? The reason people keep saying Ron Paul has no chance is because there are so many people talking about him in the first place.
They have no chance either far less than Ron Paul.

Ron Paul isn't receiving enough mainstream press. Plus it's a safe to say a majority of Ron Paul supporters aren't registered republicans. How many people are going to go out the way to register for the republican party to vote for Ron Paul? Not many as one would imagine.

There once was a guy named Howard Dean who rose to prominence through the internet. Everyone thought he had a chance to win. But he lost.

Same will happen to Ron Paul. If I'm wrong, it'll be great. Until then...people should be realistic about his chances, or do something about it.
