Paul in double digits in new Iowa Poll: 10%, more than doubles

[Ozwest]

I've got a nice bottle of 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon I was saving for the moment Ron Paul cracked double digits in Iowa or New Hampshire.

Never expected to cork it for Iowa. But...

Cheers. To Ron Paul!

He is. And Huckabee's upcoming implosion on MTP will be but a firework in our celebration.

Can't count on Huckabee imploding. He is slicker than cat shit. He is a very good liar, almost as good as Clinton.

We have to concentrate on final push to transmit a positive message for Dr. Ron to recruit soft voters, and intense GOTV to ensure every last one of our supporters shows up to caucus.

IOWA IS CRITICAL! It lights the fuse for NH explosion. When Ron Paul attains credibility with soft voters in NH by doing well in Iowa, achieving perception of being "electable", Independents and dissatisfied Republicans in NH will come over to our side in droves.

11% among women...nice

I'll be joining you in about 5 Hours !

I wouldn't be surprised if Huckabee bails out of the MTP interview.

The Cab Sav is a nice drop, but I've got a couple of dusty ones set aside for future triumphs.

That would be a huge boon. More voters, ripe for the conversion.

F!@#$ you Frank!

These polls make me optimistic. I just hope they are still low-balling Ron Paul's support. Remember when they said at the first Iowa debate that he was at 2% and at Ames he got 9% of the vote? So let's say turn out is 3x what the polls are saying... that's 30%. I just hope the grassroots are effective. If we can get 5,000 people to a rally, in one single location, shouldn't it be possible to do extremely well at the primaries now?

Don't forget the fact that during the iowa straw poll even though he was only polling at 1-2% he got 9.1% of the vote come crunch time

If he's polling 10% now and with all the enthusiasm lately we're going to dominate this thing.

 

[Ozwest]

Romney is going to spend millions to track down his voter base, and drive them to the polls.

Huckabee will use the infrastructure of his religious base to get his voters to the polls.

Plenty of work left for the Revolution. The look on Hannity's gob when we "spam" the victory will be priceless.

 

[Risiko]

Wow, that is awesome. Let's bring him into the teens! More work to be done out there in Iowa. A surprising showing there will get him a lot of coverage, y'know.

This point can't be understated. When was the last time you saw a crowd of 200 Rudy supporters? These little crowds of people all over the state is going to put Ron into third place (at the least)

Yup. Whatever strategies and organization were used to draw such large crowds, I hope the same things are used to get supporters to vote during primaries/caucuses. Perhaps it's harder to get people to vote in primaries than it is for them to attend a rally, but this is it. It isn't enough to just listen to the guy. Action must be taken if we're to expect RP to win the nomination and really get the message of liberty out to nation-wide audience.

My only histance with this is how much of these people overlap with those at other rallys. Attendance at rallys wuld mean we have landslide win as long as the overlap between rallys is high.

We could have 10 5000+ people rallys, but it means nothing if it's the same 5000 people. We'll find out Jan. 3rd, though I think we have darn good chance of winning Iowa.

Huckabee will use the infrastructure of his religious base to get his voters to the polls.

Ron Paul will devour Huckabee's constituency alive. Even the dumbest Christians can tell the difference between some yahoo who waves the cross around and someone who really does have values.

 

[Opulen]

This is a very positive news to all of us but we must not be complacent. The media is doing a very different tactic that is make us Ron's supporters complacent. We must push harder than yesterday and will not rest until we get our objective. I will see President Ron Paul inside the WhiteHouse

 

[PaleoConservative]

Just wanted to tip my hat to the people working their butts off in Iowa! Good job guys and ladies!

Bringing in that guy who worked with Buchanan was a great idea by Mr. Paul and HQ.

If we can get up to 15%, we'll win for sure. Right now, I feel pretty good about 3rd place, maybe even second, which would be really, really huge.

 

[Gordon]

I don't know. Huckabee seems pretty slick.

Huckabee is great at wanting to raise taxes in arkansaas and giving drivers licenses to illegals. I'm sure Iowans will LOVe that.

Romney is guilty of creating a sanctuary for illegals in his state and being a gun-grabber.

McCain sponsored bills that would give amnesty.

None of them should be in double digits if the polls were accurate.

They sound more like democrats than republicans to me.
