Remember, Ron Paul has been consistently moving UP in the polls over the past few months, and as we know, Paul's support is much more solid than others' once he gains it. So yes, the media boost of Ron winning the poll would have been amazing, the fact that we nearly tied Bachmann and eclipsed the other candidates says our organizational strength is continuing to grow massively. We get to keep growing! I think not getting 1st is probably good for our egos, it will keep us motivated by reminding us that we have a lot of hard work to do if we want to end up with Ron Paul giving his GOP nomination acceptance speech a year from now...
