Last time I posted here people laughed that 2 small states won't make a damn bit of difference. Well now you've got CA- a state with I believe 55 electoral votes. Ron Paul will not win this election, but like it or not he may well have some impact on how this election ends. Before you say, "No he won't", see what the MT governor has to say:

Look out McCain and Obama, here comes Ron Paul.

Ron Paul in a landslide. ;-)

No he won't.

Obama was already going to win CA. Since Ron Paul votes will hurt McCain more, this just ensures Obama wins CA by an even larger margin. This does not help Obama.

I don't see why this is news.

From fivethirtyeight:

Obama even leads in Montana, a state which his campaign has never disengaged from, according to an MSU-Billings poll. Importantly, the MSU poll mentioned Ron Paul by name, who is on the ballot in Montana. He drew 4 percent of the vote, the precise difference between Obama and McCain.

Just as I predicted, Paul WILL have an impact in at least MT or LA. He probably won't garner enough %-wise in Louisiana, however. He'd need to get around 8-10% there.

I guess I better add another wow to my triple wow. Could it possibly be, Ron Paul might even get 1% of the national vote?
At this rate, he might win by 2108. But none the less, Ron Paul is sitting on a pot of money, between Paul and Obama, the two of them might buy up all the air time McCain will need to deliver his last remaining 87 million.
