The latest poll out of New Hampshire shows Mitt Romney losing support, but still with a solid 15-point lead over his next closest competitor, Ron Paul, 35 percent to 20 percent. None of the other candidates is making that large of a mark, with less than 48 hours before the polls open.
Paul's strong showing in Iowa and expected follow-up performance in the Granite State contrast with the fact that no one — including, most prominently, Paul himself — believes he'll be the nominee.
But Paul's Libertarian stances — especially on foreign policy — can sometimes be the only reason (for liberals, certainly) to watch the GOP presidential debates, and he was on fire on Saturday night on the ABC News debate in Manchester. Check out this exchange when Paul was challenged about his calling Newt Gingrich a "Chicken Hawk" for ducking out of serving in Vietnam.
There is little doubt that Mitt Romney will win Tuesday's New Hampshire primary. The only real drama is who comes in behind him, but that may not be in doubt either, as Ron Paul still controls a solid second place.
