Ron Paul: 2nd Best Organization in Iowa

Daily Paul Liberty Forum

Romney has the best that money can buy. But tonight you’re going to hear a lot of pundits saying Ron Paul’s organization was flying under the radar but was more substantial than anyone was reporting. I still think Ron will come in 3rd, but he may be close to 2nd. The reports that McCain is freaking out tells us they think Ron is going to beat them. It also tells me that they are worried that after a week of media pumping, they think 4th would mortally wound him and he could gap down New Hampshire. What’s interesting here is that Ron’s positioning may sink Huckabee, (it would be better for Ron if Huckabee wins Iowa by a least a little). The McCain voters that were going to switch to Huckabee may now stay with McCain to try and save 3rd. These flippers are likely not enough to save 3rd for McCain, but they could cost Huckabee as much as 2000 votes and give 1st to Romney.

If Ron gets around 18 to 19%, the next 5 days are going to be great. It will set up a 3 way Battle Royal in New Hampshire.

I love this stuff. Sometimes I wish we had elections every year.

the vote is both tallied AND recorded truthfully. Aside from the threat of precinct-level fudging of the vote, there was a post this morning (I can't find it now) that ALL of Iowa's caucus results are tallied via computer by an Israeli defense contractor firm in Atlanta, Georgia! With Ron Paul's courageous stand against continuing foreign aid to Israel, the biggest (and most dependent) recipient by far of US handouts, the Israelis are most certainly not favorably disposed towards him. And history has shown repeatedly that the Israelis will stop at virtually nothing when it comes to defending their own interests. Suffice it to say that I'll be watching the "official" outcome of Iowa with a great deal of nervousness.

All this plays into our hand

All this plays into our hand, Huck and Mitt supporters duke it out for first,
McCain and Rudy for third, and we dance in and take second or third. Remember the Republican Caucus differs from the Democrats, its basically a straw poll.

good insight

that is why Paul will come in 2nd....b/c McCain supporters will now stay with McCain and not switch to Huckabee.
This is going to be huge.
Once people in New Hampshire see that Paul is DEFINATELY a viable candidate they will be even more ready to throw their support behind him instead of thinking of Paul as 'just a protest vote'.

but Ron Paul is a King not a Queen. speaking of Queen, I'd love to have Mrs. Paul as the first lady! now, maybe we should have a money bomb for Mrs. Paul? or maybe the whole family? use an image from the "sound of music" with the Paul family sitting in for the Van Trapp's.
