Des Moines Register's final poll is out and shows Paul now tied for 4th place with 9%. No poll has ever had Paul in 4th before! Now even the land-line polls are showing Paul poised to surprise on Thursday:

"On McCain's heels in the poll at 9 percent each are Texas Rep. Ron Paul, whose support in Iowa has gradually been building, and former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson."

Huckabee 32%
Romney 26%
McCain 13%
Paul 9%
Thompson 9%
Guiliani 5%

Update: Even better, look at the "Polling Trend" graph at the bottom of the article. Over the 3 nights of the poll, Paul went from 8% to 10% to 11%...

Anything under 4% is

Anything under 4% is statistical noise so getting excited about 1% rises is silly

Sounds about right!

For each phone line supporter there should be at least 3 cell phone supporters. At 11% phone line, it should result in 44%. Yep, that's about right!!! That would make Huckabee a fart in the wind, McCain a piss in the stream and Thompson less than a grain of sand! Yeeeehaaaaw!!!

eLib3rty TV ad might make the difference

About saving our generation. Show it to the vets. Unveil it on Jan 2nd at the meeting with the vets.

So we have this great meeting:

And we have this great new ad by eLib3rty:
(the greatest generation)
http://rattube.com/blog1/2007/12/30/elib3rtys-ron-paul-comme...

This, plus the immigration ad, might help seal up Iowa.

Does anyone know what the status of the eLib3rty ad is?

It looks like the new ad is

It looks like the new ad is going nowhere?

I think we need a big spender with a lot of dough to get it on the air. I can't see the campaign buying the ad with that saveourgeneration.com website advertised throughout the commercial (unless they replace it).

I hope we beat McCain in Iowa, so we have a boost going into NH, where he's strong.
