If Ron Paul won Iowa, it would mean a paradigm shift in the way the American people view freedom. It would mean just the beginning of things to come. It would mean that we could stop pretending to be a free country, and actually start to be one.
Heck, he will come under attack by the entire establishment.
If Ron Paul wins the Iowa caucus, the attacks already frenetically being thrown against him will redouble. Many pundits will simply say 'Iowa doesn't count', ignoring that Barack Obama wasn't thought to have a chance to beat Hillary Clinton, until he won the Iowa Caucuses. But a lot of people who like Ron Paul but vote for others because they 'think he can't win', will think again. And Ron Paul is already in good position in the next primary in New Hampshire.
If Ron Paul wins Iowa and gets either first or a strong second in New Hampshire?
Now THAT will change the narrative.
Recently I saw a poll saying over half of the country doesn't trust the media. Returning to journalism would help them gain their credibility, and the way they have been 'covering' Ron Paul in this election is not journalism.
Your Cafferty File being a welcome exception....
Hey Jack, I am from Lake Mary Florida. If Dr. Paul wins Iowa I will be on a plane the very next day to New Hampshire to help him campaign in his final days before the primary. I never really enjoyed politics before I heard about Ron Paul, I always thought it was an insult to vote for the lesser of two evils, but since he has come around I feel a sense of appreciation for our country I have not felt in quite some time.
If Paul wins Iowa, partisanship will be thrown out the window as both Democrats and Republicans desperately unite to protect the status quo from the rise of Ron Paul.
Imagine a small government, humble foreign policy , fiscal conservative who actually walks the walk as opposed to just talking the the talk. They should be afraid, very afraid.
He will get a bump going into NH and finish in a close 2nd or 1st place. He'll go on to do well in South Carolina and win Nevada. Depending on how well he does in New Hampshire, he will either be the frontrunner or tied with Romney/Gingrich come Super Tuesday.
you post a comment. It's @ the link.
Jack, the GOP establishment is running afraid of Ron Paul. If Dr. Paul wins Iowa, the GOP establishment and the mainstream media pundits will push for the 2nd tier candidates to drop out and endorse Romney or Gingrich. It is clear by now that this has been a two-candidate run of Dr. Paul vs GOP-Candidates/Mainstream media/talk radio political pundits. It is evident that the mainstream media is already discounting Iowa caucuses if Dr. Paul wins. The word is out about who represents freedom and peace. An idea whose time has come cannot be stopped by the establishment, the mainstream media and talk radio political pundits put together. Freedom is popular. Ron Paul 2012.
