BAH. I never wanted to visit that state anyway.

Third is still contention though, especially that close. Not losing hope yet.

It's a good thing Santorum has no legs, once this little bump the media gave him is past, AND he took out Romney. Paul's RESPECTABLY close, and has the fundraising and organization - plus the only zealous and actual supporters out there.

Remember, Mccain finish a much-more distance fourth, under much worse circumstances.

NO LONG FACES! If anyone remembers '08, we are sitting MUCH better off, with a much more conducive environment, many more awake people, and a very likely chance of worsening economy - Paul's forte and the thing ONLY he was right on.

Not bad, not bad at all. A few thousand votes out of how many? Come on...

EDIT:
AND - let's remember - this is coming off a BRUTAL attack run by the media and other candidates. Keep it real and remember, even if worse comes to worst, this isn't about Paul, it's about the message, and the responsibility is on US. Not one man.

And otherwise...these other people get what they deserve, failing that. If they want more of the same...God help them.

This is just the first act in a very long play.

Interesting to note though, with the surge in Santorum (even if it is just in Iowa) is it a referendum against Obama?

I know what polls and public opinion is reported by the media, but could this be the tart of a groundswell against Obama and his policies?

panties in a twist, IOWA RLY MEANS JACK SHHHHHH

Huckabee won it last time...

Did it really mean a damn thing? no

Accept Paul is polling in 8% - 13% in a lot of states.

If anybody here thinks that the long term GOP election isn't going to include Romney vs Paul, you're sorely mistaken and need some re-evaluation.

Romney and Paul are the ONLY ones that has the funding and organization throughout the nation enough to go all the way.

The Paul camp is already organizing in other caucus states.


Look at it this way. will GOP voters support an old right conservative or a known moderate?

If Ron Paul wins it, it doesn't mean anything. But if Santorum or Romney wins it, it will be the story of the week.

Not for much longer,

most of us GOP'ERS are booooored of this whole IOWA holds so much weight
BS!! That is why a lot of states are bumping up there primaries.

Is this all you do?
Spam one liners and troll people?

Sweet life bro! But dont worry, it doesnt get to us, we all know and you know why people waste their time like this.
And its not because your life is awesome


To the RP supporters, dont fret, this caucus determines nothing, Paul still has a very strong showing with the rest of the country. Like 2008 showed, expect Iowa to go for the evangelical candidate. And then that candidate will drop out as the rest of the country start voting.

Come on people dont leave out Cain he got 53 votes pretty good for a dude who dropped out.

looks like he will definately fall short of his 999 plan.

Ron paul is now speaking

So that's the mentality of Santorum supporters...

PUT up or shut up!

Iran can't bully us, and them little pip squeaks
are like that little annoying guy in HS the small
little turd who picked a fight with everyone bigger then them
to try to make themselves feel not so small and every now and again
you had to smack him back in line to let him know he's small with a big mouth
but my small smouth has a big fist..

Maybe you're onto something.

Didn't McCain have that little ditty...."bomb, bomb, bomb...bomb, bomb Iran".

Really, in middle America (where I'm from), all you need to do to get votes is talk about jobs, family, and bombing the S$$$ out of someone.

Unless someone can prove Iran HAS a nuclear weapon or is weaponizing their Uranium, then they're all talk. Besides, me thinketh Israel has enough nukes to turn all of the middle east into a great big parking lot for many, many years.

Iran is NOT a threat to us at this time. That doesn't mean we ignore them, but let's be honest o.k.?

Fox news is a joke man. That Bret guy was saying this is bad for Paul..
Blah Blah. He is taking a huge percentage and Santorum is a fluke, he has been nobody the whole race they just had to hype him up last minute so Paul wouldn't take it. Santorum doesn't have a chance of beating Obama. Looks like the GOP want's Obama again.

Nah...I just remember what it was like supporting Paul in '07 and '08!

We'll see how it goes, but this isn't bad at all, despite not being what we hoped for. It falls in line with what the party *openly admitted* they were going to do, and is a surprisingly strong showing in light of *everything* they tried to throw at us.

Semper fi! Here's to supporting who THEY support and never giving in.
