You may not read about it in the manistream press or see it on television but Ron Paul is surging in South Carolina. According to the statistical average at the New York Times poll crunching blog 538, compiled by analyst Nate Silver, Congressman Paul is running third in South Carolina. Of all the candidates, Congressman Paul has the greatest forward momentum. Paul is rallying in all of the South Carolina polls released after the New Hampshire Primary, in which Paul finished a strong second place. In one poll, from the American Research Group, Congressman Paul has gained eleven points since their last poll was taken on January 5th. In the PPP poll, Paul gained six points and former Senator Santorum dropped five points in one week. In the Rasmussen poll, Congressman Paul is up five points and Santorum is down eight points since last week. Poster Comment: Time to pour it on, boyz and girls.

Paul intensifies criticism of GOP field in latest ad - The Hill's Video By Justin Sink - 01/17/12 08:18 AM ET Ron Paul released a new advertisement late Monday night blasting his primary rivals in the Republican presidential race as "three of a kind," with none as suitable as the Texas congressman to challenge Obama in November.
From: Ron Paul Date: Mon, 16 Jan 2012 20:43 Subject: The same old Dear Liberty Activist, Despite finishing a strong third in Iowa and an incredible second in New Hampshire… Despite earning more votes than Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, and Rick Perry in New Hampshire – COMBINED… Despite surging past Rick Santorum in the polls in South Carolina… Despite this clearly being a two-man race between me and Mitt Romney… The establishment media is still trying to black out my campaign. News organizations are exiling me to the far end of the debate stage. They can't stand the idea of me challenging our reckless foreign policy, the destruction of our currency by the Fed, and an out-of-control, almost $16 trillion debt that is choking the life out of our economy. But no matter how much the establishment tries to silence me, my strong, consistent, clear, conservative message is resonating with Americans. Conservatives are coalescing around my campaign because my opponents are all the same old chip off the Big Government block. While Rick Santorum defends forcing workers under the thumb of Big Labor with his vote to kill a National Right to Work Act, and Mitt Romney defends indefinitely detaining American citizens, I am the only candidate offering a conservative alternative to the status quo. My Plan to Restore America cuts $1 trillion from the budget in year one of my presidency, balances the budget in year three, and eliminates five cabinet departments. That's why it's vital you make your most generous contribution to my South Carolina Money Bomb right away so I can go over the heads of the establishment pundits and take my message of liberty, free markets, and sound money directly to voters in South Carolina through hard-hitting tv ads, issue-based emails, and personal phone calls. This voter contact program was the key to my incredible finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire, and I am confident that if my campaign can fully implement these programs in South Carolina, another historic finish is within my grasp. Our Party cannot win in November unless we nominate a candidate who presents a clear contrast with Barack Obama. Unlike Mitt Romney, I don't have to explain away flip-flopping on every issue voters care about. And unlike counterfeit conservatives Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, I support the Right to Work, am 100% pro-Second Amendment, am 100% pro-life, and have consistently opposed the bailouts and socialized medicine. So please, click here to make your most generous contribution toward my final push in South Carolina and help my campaign spread my winning message of liberty to the voters. Thank you for all that you do to help me win this race and Restore America Now! For Liberty, Ron Paul P.S. My campaign is surging in the polls in South Carolina, and every dollar you can give toward our final push this week helps us directly reach more voters. This race is clearly a two-man contest between me and Mitt Romney, yet the establishment media keeps trying to black me out and prop up my counterfeit conservative opponents. Please make your most generous contribution and help my campaign spread my winning message of liberty, free markets, and sound money to all the voters of South Carolina.

According to polls taken on Jan 17th, Ron Paul has only half the number of voters that Romney has, and is about even with Santorum for third place. Hardly a surge. Evidently figuring that he can't ever finish as #1, Paul is saving his resources by avoiding the states with winner-take-all primaries, and focusing on states with proportional delegate representation.
I sure as hell hope you are posting from Israel.
There you go. At worst, he's looking to go to Tampa with an active group of delegates and broker the convention. This, my friend, is how a movement begins and he's well under way establishing one. It's painful to watch, eh?
