What will the spin be if Ron Paul wins Iowa?

[hawks4ronpaul]

"Apparently, a very confusing butterfly ballot led too many people to mistakenly vote for Ron Paul instead of their real candidate."

That was the explanation when Pat Buchanan got "too many" votes in 2000.

That was the explanation when Pat was on the Reform Party's ticket and that was only in one county in Florida.

You're thinking of the way the Democrats do it. The Republicans quietly show up and vote and go home in 2 minutes.

Republicans can do it this way as well and have been known to do it in the past, and the likelihood that they will do things like this are much higher due to the fact that the race is so hot here in Iowa. Honestly any number of people have a good chance to win here in Iowa... including Ron Paul supporters. If you take into account that Ron Paul is the pariah of the neo-cons, if it appears that Ron Paul will win a precinct whos to say that delegate selection might not be a little more strategic than going to the ballot box and selecting your candidate. The point is the neo-cons are completely capable of railroading delegates through regardless of who brought the most people to the caucus.

I have a feeling that the campaign will explode with new support if we win New Hampshire or Iowa. We will be very hard to beat after that publicity.

All we need is publicity and the campaign will spread. The message is very powerful.

We don't need first. 2nd would be a bombshell, and overshadow a Huckabee win. 3rd would still catapult him into "serious contender" and erase the 2nd-tier stigma.

That would be true of any candidate other than Dr. Paul. Remember, the MSM is openly hostile to most of Dr. Paul's ideas. They aren't going to give him any slack, so he has to do twice as good as any other candidate to get any coverage at all.

I think the headlines of the day would be something like:

Diebold Machine Scandal! We here at MSM were shocked today to find that Ron Paul has scored an unprecedented and overwhelming victory in New Hampshire! The voting machines are being carefully disassembled at this very moment to find out where the glitch in the machines are - Diebold engineers completely baffled - more news as it comes in....

They are, but they wouldn't be able to ignore Paul beating Romney in Iowa.

I think we can discuss that when he actually wins... the sound of him winning sounds just too great

Huckabee Bible bots were outvoted by the Ron Paul porn bots, yes thats how ron raises soo much money. With help from the mustang ranch the porn bots make billions off from the internet and thats why we need to regulate it.

Poll spamming bots!

there is no way to spin it. you win, you win. Ron Paul would be all over the media. If we bring in ENOUGH disenfranchised voters, we COULD pull off a win here, but it's going to be tight in Iowa.

Do you remember when Ron Paul won that big Nevada straw poll? What did the headlines say? "Romney loses Nevada straw poll" The article barely even mentioned Ron Paul.

The News on January 3, 2008

Results just in from the Iowa Caucuses. Mike Huckabee placed second beating out Mitt Romney. All other candidates hovered in single digits with the exception of Ron Paul who came in ninth from last. We will have complete coverage on the Mike and Mitt Show as they prepare for "Takedown in New Hampshire"!

 

[dfalken]

It's funny that you think Paul will get publicity by placing well in Iowa....

remember

"First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win."

Mahatma Gandhi

Right now they are in between "they ridicule you" and "they fight you"...if we place well in Iowa they will go into full "they fight you" mode. We'll get attention but if you think the recent white supremacist bs was hurtful (I don't think it was), get ready for what is coming.

That Iowa people like the underdog and like voting for strange people.

Romney, Huckabee lose in Iowa, Thompson takes 2nd

THompson who came in polling in third place shocked everyone by placing second in the Iowa caucus. Front-runners Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee tie for 3rd place in the Caucus. The "fringe" candidate Ron Paul pulls out the victory, but he is irrelevant to the actual race. With a strong showing look for Fred Thompson to make a run in New Hampshire and South Carolina. Mitt Romney believes he has New Hampshire locked up and is starting to spend heavily in Florida in hopes of catching Rudy Guiliani, who was a no show on the radar at the Iowa Caucuses. Some election officials believe Guiliani had his supporters rally behind Ron Paul to make his opposition look like they are un-electable candidates.
