Why Ron Paul Will Win The Republican Nomination

Well, not quite a lock, though his odds are rising on Intrade, and his name recognition is on the increase.
But Rick Fisk analyzes in detail why the favorite candidate on the internet, despite tremendous fundraising success and slowly but steadily increasing numbers is still lagging in traditional polling;
"A new scientific study shows that baseball fans don't want the Cubs, Angels, or Diamondbacks to win the world series.
"Excuse me, but how can a scientific study tell you that?"
"Well, we ran a full scientific study, and extrapolated from a representative sample of baseball fans out to fans as a whole."
"I see. And just who made up your sample of all fans?"
"300 Yankee season ticket holders. Why?"
Basically Fisk's argument is that the surveys of "likely voters" consist of interviewing the 6.6% of registered Republicans who bothered to vote in the 2004 primary.
Not exactly an "unbiased" sample, hmmm?
