In a country without free and fair elections, the power is not in the polling booth but in the street. And Ron Paul can bring more people out to the street than any other Republican presidential contender.
Ron Paul's only real challenger is Barack Obama, and that's only because Obama has the establishment's full financial support. The corporate mass media is propping up the Obama icon and ridiculing Ron Paul as a fringe candidate. But their propaganda is being believed less and less by the American people.
The Republican establishment can steal all the votes they want, it doesn't change the fact that they are socially irrelevant and will not determine the destiny of America.
