I think he can win. It is an uphill battle but it could happen.
There isn't a chance in the world that he can win. His support has hovered around 8% or 9% nationally.
Yes, he has made significant gains in Iowa, BUT Iowa's primaries are January 3rd when all of the college kids are still out on winter break. Many of them won't even be in Iowa to vote for Paul in the caucuses.
Given the GOP's rule changes this year from winner take all states to proportional representation, Paul will walk into the convention with 8% or so of the delegates. This ensures that he'll get a speaking spot. That's it.
