Did you really think????

Come on people, don't fight. The way the system and the media works, it is amazing we have come this far. Iowa is the first state out of 50 to run their caucus and primary. A 3rd place finish would be the best mainstream news for our campaign ever.

 

[RPSignbomb]

QFT, just like the tiny precincts are the first to report in primaries and general elections. I still think we might get third.

Possible!

 

[justatrey]

No, I haven't heard anyone credibable actually thinking first was even remotely possible, or second.

Third place was the very optimistic goal.

Hell yeah I expect a win! A state with 3 million people and there aren't 30,000 Ron Paul supporters willing to get off their ass and vote?

Ron Paul's campaign said they needed $12 million to win Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina...

 

[Johncjackson]

I didn't think he would win. But I was hoping for better than 5th. He is only beating Hunter and Rudy decided not to campaign in Iowa.

 

[justatrey]

Well I sure hope noone did expect first since CNN just declared Huckabee the winner.

We're in 5th place and we're maybe less than 100 votes behind McCain and 400 behind Thompson.

None of the Urban areas have voted yet. They have more voters and they're going to be more in our favor.

3rd place is very possible and if we achieve that we're off and running.

Even 4th place is something to be pleased with in this state.

 

[Gimme Some Truth]

86 votes behind McCain and 400 votes behind Thompson ATM

after seeing cspan coverage of the republican caucus I can say I woudl be proud if Ron Paul would nto win a state with such idiots...
it woudl be like a compliment to paul supporters, lmao...

Tell me about it. I was amazed when they were interviewing some of them. The lights are on but no one's home. Who could possibly be surprised with a Huckabee win there.....birds of a feather and all.

 

[Cardinal Red]

That Ron Paul would win Iowa? Wow... some of you are just clueless. 3rd place would be AMAZING - 4th place is more likely where we'll finish.

We'll know in the next two hours if all the money each of us donated was worth it. GAME TIME NOW!

This is why It was important to focus on being realistic in expectations. Lets hope we can catch McCain!

 

[CelestialRender]

I've always hoped he'd win 1st, but thought he'd win 3rd.

 

[sugaki]

He's trailing behind at 6th right now, with 40% of precincts reporting. I've always thought he'd be 4th.
