I honestly think they'd reached saturation point. There were too many active campaigns and too many calls. People were getting angry. I honestly felt badly. I hate that stuff myself.

All of the robo numbers I called and reached were almost all receptive. I guess I got to satisfied with my self and thought I had did enough.
 
Chris Wallace weighing if the Bachmann win was a real success, comparing her to Paul's relatively small expenditure.
 
Oh my God, Fox News is again claiming Ron Paul supporters left him for Santorum because of his Iran debate comments and "152 votes, who knows what difference it made."

Starting to remember why I hate this channel.
 
MSM can't talk about Bachmann without talking about Paul. This is where we need to be. This is a WIN. Donate NOW!
 
Great job by RP today. Bachmann is the one peaking early, not us. In addition, this good performance will probably lead to an increase in credibility and and donations next month.
 
This is a pretty good result. Bachmann's already fading. With the media now having to acknowledge her as the frontrunner in Iowa, the attacks against her will really start. Once things get out there about her having worked for the IRS, she'll be done for. I bet if this had been held a week ago she would have won by alot more.

One thing's for sure: Either Bachmann or Paul will win Iowa. Romney's performance here was horrid, and Perry pissed the entire state off announcing the same day.
 
THis is great, Bachmann gave over 6000 tickets and got a lot less votes while we gave 4000 tickets and got more.

We placed second which lends us legitamacy, if we won first it'd just be a bunch of media saying how ROn Paul always wins straw polls.

Ron Paul is still trending up in polls, and his performance on thursday while not instantaneouly winning over the country has gotten many to begin looking more into paul, as shown by his google trends.

We're trending up, so keep up the good work.

Ron Paul's Moment in Iowa

Ron Paul, to nobody’s great surprise, capitalized on his organizational depth and the unique enthusiasm of his followers to finish second — a close second — in the Ames Straw Poll. “People ask me if I’ve moved to the mainstream,” he says. “What has happened is that the mainstream has come in our direction. It’s not necessarily momentum for me personally, but for the philosophy of freedom.”

So humble. One reason why I love the guy.

He's already won.



Ain't born to lose baby,
I'm born to win,
I'm so slick baby, it's a sin,
It's a sin.

...If you bet on me, you've won.
