I just think it's interesting that over 14,000 people felt the need to say Ron Paul can't win, and the next closest person is Hillary Clinton, at 12,000 less. If he can't win, why do so many people have to insist he has no chance?
I just noticed that the order of the search results would be pretty much exactly what the MSM would tell you is where the candidates stand in the polls....of course, you'd have to discount Ron Paul, because he's not really a viable candidate, right?

That probably doesn't count all the times that phrase appears in the YouTube comments, either!

Fantastic video
Ron Paul is the only candidate who can win for America. I need to send this to those who have told me he can't win. A really great interview.
Just say Yes to Dr No
