ITS THE CORN SUBSIDY STUPID!

Just kidding... Good points but you missed the most important one. Ron Paul is against a corn subsidy!

I consider Iowa to be a major victory. Please remember that Iowa's entire economy revolves around corn. Ron Paul has consistently voted against a corn subsidy for Iowa and because of this it was a foregone conclusion that it would severely hurt him. The fact that many Iowans voted for him (seemingly against their own economic interests) is a testament to the fact that people out there are truly getting the bigger picture. I am counting 10 percent of the vote to be a major victory. Lets win New Hampshire. After all, the state motto is "live free or die"!
