I think a more realist approach to those statements that claim Ron Paul has no chance is:
You can't really know the future, no one thought he would garner as much support as he does right now, but what do you know
No one thought Jimmy Carter would get past the primaries.
When Carter entered the Democratic Party presidential primaries in 1976, he was considered to have little chance against nationally better-known politicians. He had a name recognition of only 2 percent. When he told his family of his intention to run for President, he was asked by his mother, "President of what?"
No one expected that Ross Perot would be able to get almost 20% of the popular vote despite the fact that he was not from any of the two dominant parties.
Adopting a defeatist attitude and having the "I'm throwing my vote away" mentality is equivalent to surrendering your voting rights. The special interests want you to believe that you can't vote for anyone other than this puppet or the other.
So yes, it is possible that Ron Paul can win. Very possible.
And there you have it: Defeatist attitude defeated.
