Iowa- The Sleeper State?

[austin356]

I have a lot of faith in Ron, but relatively little faith in most of the voters of Iowa. They're falling for Huckabee afterall.

I'm thinking a 5th or 4th finish in Iowa, realistically. NH I think 3rd or better is possible. If new, credible polls come out before Jan 3rd that show Paul at closer to 10%, then obviously I'd guess his chances would improve.

3rd in NH?

If we dont win there; The election for us is OVER. No chance. I am also going to step down my active support and concentrate on other personal activities, if he does not win there.


People we are in more of a dire situation than you might think. More is on the line for the first two elections than you think. If we dont get 3rd in Iowa, 1st in NH, and place really really high in NV and SC, it is over.

Even if we get first an NH, which I think we will, if we don't get AT LEAST 3rd in Iowa, we are done for, and the whole campaign will turn out to be a joke. Have people heard the message yet? Do the voters of Iowa understand how honest and knowledgable Ron Paul on the issues? Do they know how consistent Ron Paul is? I reckon, if every voter had the knowledge we do, Ron Paul would win in a landslide. But obviously, they have no idea who Ron Paul is and what he stands for...

We MUST get at least 3rd in Iowa. Thankfully, I've been hearing good things recently that Ron Paul could come in 3rd, but I'm still unconvinced. All signs point to him getting 5th.

I agree with above posts, that we need to get 1st in Nh badly or its over.

We need to be shooting for 3rd in Iowa

I have always said there is more at stake here than coming on strong in IA or NH. Ron Paul should hammer the NeoCons with his message all the way to South Dakota (the last state). Don't let them have the election easily. Gather up as many LOUD, VOCAL delegates as he can for the convention.

If we don't win, try to keep the coalition together and vote 3rd party. (Maybe one that Ron endorses but does not lead.) Don't let the establishment think they have co-opted everyone and penned us back in.
