does anyone really know?

How many for sure supporters do we really have ( in millions )??

I believe it to be close to 2million... if I'm right we have more work to do than we think!

100 million voters, more or less. 50 million Republican voters. Polling at 8%, give ot take. That's 4 million right there. Figure another 50 million who don't usually vote, with 20% of them supporting Ron Paul. That's another 10 million. Then we get 4% of Democrats, another 2 million.

That's 16 million Ron Paul supporters by my math. Critical mass.....

I would take issue with both 50 million Republican voters (not so many) and 20% of 50 million who don't usually vote. But don't forget the independents, who outnumber all the Republicrats, who do vote, but were not polled.

RON PAUL support

10% of the republican vote would be 5.9 million
50% of the libertarian vote would be 0.25 million
