This says Ron got 9%. Also, if you look at their questions they were ALWAYS asked with Ron asked for last, not rotated.

It would be better for us if Newt gets one more win away from Romney; it buys us time as we get through these two very difficult contests for Paul. We'd much prefer to catch a slime like Newt long term if it got to that point.
Also, beating Santorum will help moral.
Ive been debating this myself but I think we want Romney.
Romney is more likely to do well in caucus states as is Paul because of $ and organization, if the grinch loses here and doesnt win any of the next 3 or 4 caucus states and comes behind Paul in 2 or 3 (which is certainly pausible) then there is a greater chance we see him dropping out. THere is no way Romney will drop out.

Agreed. The longer Newt is in this, the longer it gets dragged out. Everyone else has risen and fallen, the only two candidates that have had steadiness to some degree are Paul and Romney. I think Newt is going to fall, and likely fall fast. Drudge seems to be very much out to get him judging by how his page is plastered with Anti-Newt stuff galore.
Top center of Drudge this am.
"Gingrich admits ABC claim was false."
So he admits he lied to the public during the debate.
I suspect Mitt just might pound on that one a bit. John King didn't take to kindly to being beat up on national tv and went after Newt due to his attack on John.

King laid down and took it from Newt. It was obviously a pre-planned softball and a classic political op for the benfit of the sheeple.

Where ever Faux News tells them too.
Not likely. Romney is favored in the polls with Gingrich gaining. Ron only broke out of single digits in one NV poll.

Not likely, but very much needed. Not only to establish Paul as a legitimate candidate with the average voter,but to reinvigorate the grassroots to donate and volunteer. We have four caucuses coming up, if Paul goes 0 for 4, then you can expect to see the grassroots support begin to dry up. Many of us sacrifice a lot of time and money for the campaign. There comes a limit to what we can do, and how long we can do it. If we don't see a win soon, then it becomes more difficult to expect the same people that have been supporting the campaign to continue to do so, and nearly impossible to bring new people on board to volunteer.
We have been doing PFH to NV for a while now. Maybe over a month. If we can't get a victory there, I don't think we can anywhere at that point. At least a victory that is going to matter.

Pretty low. high mormon population in eastern Nevada.
Losing all three of the first states has destroyed any momentum as many of us said it would.

Well, that is a little overboard, i mean, he DID do very well in IA (got ripped off anyway and everyone knows he won it due to all the vote count issues). Did you guys know that IA hasn't officially even declared a winner yet? Yea, they show Rick now 'winning' but they HAVE NOT actually declared a winner. No one really even knows who won it, and the State GOP has yet to do a thing about the 8 missing precincts, as well as no mention of Ron's new count. The missing precincts also came from a highly populated area (Ames) with loads of young voters (college kids) that ron supposedly had 50% support of in that area. Jee, how convenient that area goes missing
NH went according to plan and the momentum afterward was great, but way too shortlived. Several mistakes and bad planning in SC + the bad debate he had is what formed this current pot hole. Perhaps they underestimated how important SC really was last year when they started the run and maybe should have decided to be more competitive there from the onset. This current 2 week dry spell right now is what totally sucks. During this time, the msm is spinning him as a tag along and ignoring him and that is going to sink into the average voter's mind. That's never a good thing.
There is still time left, but NV is being way over hyped by some. It's loaded with mormon communities which will obviously go with Mitt. Yea, Ron was in 2nd there last time, but by how much? 50 something percent compared to 16 isn't exactly a 'close second'. It's just way too pro-romney over there. Then, the latest MN poll ppp did shows Newt leading well. So already his chances out those 4 seem to be cut in half.
It's too bad Montana, Louisiana and some of the other states he is doing well in, didn't have their primaries/caucuses sooner to give him the boost he will need.
Anyway, sure hope Ron and the crew have an ace up their sleeve to play, because February is make or break.

I disagree, I want Romney to win. Gingrich is difficult to take down. I understand that he has a horrible record, but people judge on face appearances and the way he comes across in debates is very favorable to people. It would slow down his momentum. Paul needs to become the anti-Romney, because if Gingrich is deemed the anti-Romney, the amount of momentum he gains may be too much to stop.
Agreed, momentum is the name of the game here. The general public votes for people who they think have realistic shot of winning. They don't want their vote to be "wasted." Even tho a vote for Paul is a vote for a movement altogether, and that is progress, the general public knows that in practical terms, it's a wasted vote in the election itself. Like Tbone said above, Paul's campaign has got to show people that he CAN win by winning a state, and SOON. Die-hards will follow him endlessly, but that alone isn't enough. The planners, organizers, etc, as said above, must get exhausted.
