It's harder to poll a caucus than a primary. The polls have been fairly accurate thus far except for Clinton over Obama in NH. To point out one state, and a caucus where little polling had been done nonetheless, is just stupid.

Yea, I guess you're right. It's not proof. However, you can still show this to people who don't think Paul has any chance to win. Polls aren't always accurate.
