Paul moving on up

[Nate tha\\\' Great]

Just noticed that he's now up in the 2-3% range on inTrade, which ranks fifth among the GOP candidates.

I'm not quite sure that I believe even those relatively modest numbers; I have a pet theory that a lot of the candidates with strong netroots ties get bid up a little bit in the markets (see also Thompson, Fred; Gore, Al). Nevertheless, it's clear that he's gaining momentum, and all the other GOP candidates are so fatally flawed (the Democrats aren't much better) that perhaps there's a perfect storm that involves him doing surprisingly well in New Hampshire and slingshotting as the other GOP candidates crash into one another.

Anyway, maybe the mods should start an official Ron Paul thread.
