Its actually rather funny that after the first 3 contests (excluding Wyoming) Paul has 7% of the overall vote yet his Real Clear Politics national average is 3.6%.

Considering that we have had a fairly decent mix of states that make up that number, a Northeastern state, a midwestern state, a highly populated state. I suppose after South Carolina and Nevada we will really have a solid variety, and will be able to plainly see that Giuliani and Thompson are probably not actually in or near the double digits nationally.

P.S. If any of my math is incorrect please let me know, I did it pretty quickly.
