Well, how else to you explain that he finished 2nd in the straw poll, by a narrow margin, and yet his name is not mentioned as a 'front runner'.... by anyone?
Did you read the article Robert pasted? Ron Paul 'beat' Perry in that poll... and it was taken in TEXAS! Yet Perry is a front runner, Paul...no one mentions. Trust me, I understand how ridiculous it sounds, but I really do think both sides are afraid of him and as long as they do not say he is a front runner...most people won't know that he actually is.
