From the reddit comments I found this exchange:
First guy:
The race started far earlier than it did when Carter ran. Paul does not have the staff, does not have the donors, does not have the organization. His name recognition is tiny. I would like to see his approval ratings among those who have an idea of what he stands for: high approval among some on the net is not high approval in the real world.

What on earth are you talking about? I live in Iowa. Want to guess which Republican candidate is the only one who has sent a live campaign worker to my door who shook my hand, left a pamphlet and a DVD to watch, and asked me if I had any questions about the candidate? It sure as heck wasn't Giuliani's people, or Romney's people, or McCain's people. It was a Paul worker who told me that the last time he was actually involved in a campaign was with Goldwater in '64 and he honestly felt like giving his time for Paul could actually begin to make a real difference in America. That has IMPACT, a lot more than some blowhard talking head on television.
These workers invaded my neighborhood one evening. I live next door to a guy who was going to vote for Romney, but he's jumped ship because the Paul campaign showed a level of energy and commitment that he'd never seen before and he's lived in Iowa for fifty years.
You are completely talking out of your rear end here and you've swallowed way too many of Fox News' talking points.
Keep canvasing - It's working! We have a shot at this straw poll if the feet on the street keep knocking on doors and talking to people face to face.
We have 7 days to shock the world!
"look, if you had, one shot, or one opportunity
to seize everything you ever wanted, in one moment
would you capture it or just let it slip?"
