the tipping point

 

[Matthew Zak]

That's a 250% increase. Not too shabby.

We should try to spread the word to the media about this nascent "Ron Paul Surge" we have in Iowa.

 

[SovereignMN]

Thompson is only 1 point above Keyes and Hunter? Wowsers.

I'll repeat the prediction I made BEFORE Buchanan did it last week.

Thompson will drop out after Iowa and endorse McCain in hopes that it will allow the grumpy old man to take NH or SC. It won't work.

Rudy will be out after he loses Florida.

By Super Tuesday it'll be a 3 man race between Paul, Huckabee and Romney.

media will work against us.

ARG is the poll is the one that always low balls polls numbers. He's always the lowest in that poll. So this is awesome!

These polls undercount total support for Ron Paul among all political streams, but good still.

 

[Incrimsonias]

Go Infomercials!!

 

[HazardPerry]

Rock on, but don't let up!

 

[Ozwest]

I disagree. The media likes trends, being the first to announce them or being part of them. They're always looking for a new story, and there's very little time they'd have to come up with a smear story before Jan 3rd. Sure, they're a bunch of sharks, but don't write the media off completely when it could be a useful tool for us.

If we can maintain double digits in Iowa just before the caucuses, we'll be in a really good position to do well in Iowa, because I think it'll convince a lot of doubters to give Paul a shot.

 

[InRonWeTrust]

Ron on the move!

 

[Liberty Star]

Go Ron Paul.

 

[skinzterpswizfan]

Holy crap, that is a huge jump in such a little time.

 

[rory096]

Whoa whoa whoa whoa. Do you guys realize the significance of this being ARG? ARG is probably the polling firm which is THE most biased against Paul. You need only look at past polls on RealClearPolitics to confirm this; ARG is always several points lower for Paul than all the polls around it.

 

[Dorfsmith]

I'm speechless

I think we can gain another 5 % points over the next week. Combine that with favorable turnout from our camp, and maybe some lousy weather on the 3rd, and can you say FIRST IN IOWA???

Can't wait for the New Hampshire numbers.
