A comment I've heard many times about Ron Paul is, "He might be good, but he can't win". I think people will have to stop saying that now.
Maybe the best thing to come out from the debates is, it put the news blockade of RP on display for the whole country to see. I think it may be backfiring on them.

I'd like to see what would happen if some lady came out and said, "He touched my butt" lol.
In the 2008 election the United States saw the beginnings of a revolution in political tactics when it came to presidential politics through the use of the internet. Now the Ron Paul grassroots may be reaching a threshold in the number of volunteers that will allow his poll numbers and eventually his numbers at the ballot box to break through the former ceiling of 10-15%.
The Ron Paul campaign has taken the approach which says 'national polls be damned.' You need to win one of the first three states to have a shot. And a campaign donesn't need the big corporate donors to be able to saturate Iowa and New Hampshire with broadcast media ad buys. Despite the lack of airtime in debates and in mainstream media interviews or features, the Ron Paul campaign has had contact with 67% of voters in Iowa according to the latest Bloomberg poll. The Ron Paul grassroots may be accomplishing something they only dreamed of in 2008; making the mainstream media irrelevant.

Could he come out of nowhere and win Iowa? It would be virtually impossible to ignore him if he did. It's a key primary state.
