I'm not surprised by Romney's 20 point advantage here for all the reasons that have been stated elsewhere. In fact, I'd be surprised if he won by less than 20-25 points. However, I am surprised that Paul is polling so poorly in the Silver State. Having lived there for a few years, albeit a long time ago, and spending a lot of time there in the past five years, I'd sort of thought Nevada would be friendly to Ron Paul given his more permissive social views, his taxes platform, and his rants about the Fed.

I'm thinking Paul will do better than Santorum. They always undercount the youth vote in these polls.

Ron Paul won't be the nominee. Politics aside, he's WAY too old!

What a sad reason to not vote for someone, a person's principles should matter more than their age. If Romney wins, Obama will serve a 2nd term, no doubt about it. So, you can pick the old man who has incorruptible ethics, with devoted supporters unwilling to vote for anyone else (Ron Paul), or the guys that are bought and sold by lobbyists and special interests groups (Romney/Obama).
