I think Ron Paul will win, mainly because the election isn't over yet, so we can't call it for anyone. Look at how people like Newt Gingrich started at a very small percentage, and yet he's now in second place. The media have been avoiding mentions of Ron Paul, so I wouldn't trust many polls that say he's got 9% in the first place. These polls can't tell you who will win; they can tell you what a (small) selection of people think at one point in time; not how they will vote when it comes down to it.
The more I read about Ron Paul suggests he's only about economic libertarianism, not social libertarianism. Sad really because he's clearly the smartest, yet also the most deluded.
I'd like to see some of the reasons you think Ron Paul isn't a social libertarian though. He's for drug legalisation, against any legislation that attempts to "define" marriage (thereby leaving it up to individual churches), and is a supporter of the Occupy movement.
