For those of you who might be discouraged about some of these national polls, please keep in mind that Iowa and New Hampshire are FAR more important. We're steadily polling in double digits there, and within the top three. If we win one of these states, all bets are off.
Take a look at Nate Silver's (New York Times) latest article on New Hampshire's "contrarian streak." History may just be on our side. The last time the GOP national polling leader in October won New Hampshire was in 1988. New Hampshire has a long tradition of bucking the trend.

Take a look at this paragraph from the article:
Ron Paul won’t appeal to everyone, but his libertarian message might have more resonance in the “live free or die” state than elsewhere. If the vote were divided between several different candidates, perhaps he could scratch out a win in New Hampshire by getting something like 25 percent of the vote.
If we make Black This Out huge and give the campaign the resources they need to make a major push here, we can win this thing. This race is just getting started.
