Does Ron have something special planned?

What I'm asking is more like, does Ron plan to attack the views and actions of say, MB to guarantee a win at the poll. I don't know if he plans to do anything different in this debate compared to the other ones, but it seems like it would help.

Guarantee the win: Like Joe Namath in Super Bowl III?

He did quite well in her area, but he actually WON the county right next door:

Meeker County:
33% Paul
26% Huckabee
222% Romney

What??? Romney supports stuffing the ballot box! I never would have seen it coming!...

In all seriousness was that supposed to be 22%?

Here ya go:

We give them billions a year in foreign aid. Money is fungible -- which is the exact argument pro-lifers use to try to get planned parenthood defunded.

They have socialized medicine:

And abortion is allowed (required approval though)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_Israel

So it seems that it would cover abortion.

And there are a handful of articles online that says that it does.

Money we give them for defense subsidizes their government, so they are able to afford free healthcare including abortion. Bam.

I doubt that Ron Paul will attack Bachmann directly. It is possible that he will get attacked, and how he handles it could be crucial. But he is getting professional advice now, and his performances, I believe, have steadily improved.

What I really expect is that Pawlenty will attack Bachmann in a desperate attempt to revive his campaign. This could easily backfire and help Bachmann. On the other hand, they could trash each other badly, and Paul would benefit by emerging unscathed. I don't want to see Ron Paul attack Bachmann for being a big spender, I want to see Tim Pawlenty do that.

Yup and more:
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Health/abort1.html

A 1977 law ensures a low-cost, and in some cases free, legal abortion to any woman who fills one of four criteria:

She is under 18 or over 40 (cost to those in between: 1,500 shekels [$370]).

She is carrying a fetus with a serious mental or physical defect (free).

She claims that the fetus results from forbidden relations such as rape or incest (free) or, in the case of a married woman, that the baby is not her husband's (not free). Single women also fall under this clause, and they too must pay.

She shows that by continuing the pregnancy, her physical or mental health would be damaged (free).

I just hope Ron is prepared to be attacked by the other candidates, especially santorum who has been trash talking him in recent interviews.

And it just occured to me, if fox is hosting this thing, does that mean we'll be treated to another one of Frank Luntz' focus groups?

Ron Paul just sent out a "9 days away" email:

My campaign has been busy mobilizing my Iowa supporters by mail, email, and telephone to explain just how important the August 13 Straw Poll is.

But there's much more to be done.

In a state like Iowa, the little things - like yard signs, bumper stickers, and billboards - can have an enormous impact.

Big things like radio, TV, and newspaper ads exposing my opponents' Big Government records can make the difference.

I wonder if they have TV ads already prepared for a big win at Ames that can start showing on Sunday.

Ron Paul just sent out a "9 days away" email:

The email also says this:

Governor Romney isn't even bothering to try to soothe grassroots misgivings by showing up at the most important straw poll in the nation.

That's why, right now, many GOP voters are desperately searching for a candidate who can go toe-to-toe with Governor Romney.

Some candidates get handed the chance to do just that, then swing and miss on live TV.

Well, that won't be me. While we should be civil and keep campaigns about issues, I'm not going to sit back and let someone try to pull the wool over your eyes, either.

This race is too important. Our COUNTRY is too important.

I wonder if that means Ron will go on the offensive in the debate.

 

[swissaustrian]

I doubt that Ron is going to attack anyone.
He never did this so far.
Pawlenty and Santorum will probably attack Bachmann.
I also doubt that anyone amoung the other candidates will attack Ron. They know that means blowback.

 

[Rudeman]

Why not go after Romney instead of Bachmann? A lot of Republican voters are looking for anyone but Romney, if RP can show that he can take Romney down it could be key in gaining support and could help him in NH.

We need to remember that there are a lot of Bachmann supporters who would probably consider supporting RP so we don't want them to be turned off by RP attacking her or anything like that. So RP should let guys like Pawlenty or Santorum attack her.

For the next debate? As far as I understand the Iowa debate in on the 11th, then the straw poll is on the 13th. Is it possible that Paul has planned to unleash hell during the debate so he can win the poll in the next couple days?

no. That's not how Ron does things...
