ROMNEY OR PAUL??????
"Excuse me sir, would you prefer a broken arm or a broken leg?"
The media - doing their dirty.
People in IA are afraid of Newton Gingrich; he is considered unstable and might snuff out ethanol subsidies too. People in IA have always been so predictable; I would imagine that they have “heard” it is “Mitt’s turn” this time.
A Big Clue!
The Atlantic Wire should be a little more responsible with their verbiage. In this context, “collapses” is a bit much.

I know, Obama's probably praying toward Mecca a couple extra times a day, thanking Allah for his luck. If Romney (McCain v2.0) wins, he knows all he has to do is rerun the 2008 playbook. If Paul wins, then Obama doesn't even need to bother with a campaign, he can spend the entire campaign on vacation in Martha's Vineyard and still win.
This is a skewed Democrat poll, meant to see how badly they can stir up the Republican nomination. Look at the general method and the samplings taken. It's as bogus as Obama’s Birth Certificate.
God I hope not, but I would vote for Mittens before Paul. I would vote for Crazy Drunk Guy (tm) before Paul - the effect would be nearly the same but more entertaining.
The problem with Paul is that his values are totally loony-tune.
False! Media instigated garbage. Don’t believe it.
We all knew the lapdog media would run with this BS PPP poll. Obama wants to make the whole GOP look as fringe nuts as Paul. Obama fears the candidates from RINO to conservative in the GOP but has no fear of the crackpot Paul.
Newt’s numbers are down???
What a freakin’ surprise!
I mean, after 3 weeks of 1) media, 2) democrap, 3) primary opponents’ multimillion-dollar expenditures on attack ads, and 4) establishment republican full-frontal attacks — what a shock that his numbers have gone down.
I admire him for withstanding this amazing onslaught (if indeed he has).
Two simple rules:
1. If it’s a poll, just ignore it.
2. See rule #1 until the urge to post goes away
Paul has a strong ground game in Iowa and is pulling out all of the stops to run negative ads on Gingritch...all day every day. It appears to be working. This will end up helping Romney, particularly in New Hampshire.
Iowa is too stupid/ignorant/out of touch/ unrepresentative/ drunk on ethanol/ whatever- to be an early primary State.
Pure Putrid Propaganda
Paul is easily the better candidate for social conservative issues and economic and fiscal issues.
On foreign policy, Paul is definitely not in the GOP mainstream to say the least, but I guess if the majority of freepers want mainstream GOP (neocon/strong Defense) foreign policy with huge government spending and liberal social ideals, Romney’s your guy.
I’d be happy to vote for Paul over both Gingrich and Romney in this context.
Polling in IA is a joke. This is a caucus state. If the candidates don’t motivate people out to the event, they won’t do squat.
Lol...never saw this coming...lol.
You know what is being down to the conservatives?
They are being factionized purposely by their enemies.
It will be interesting to see how the PPP polls read on the eve of the voting in Iowa. This is a big test for them since they are clearly an outlier vis a vis other polls. Are they a propaganda engine supporting Romney/Obama (probably) or are they just giving us the facts about the mood in Iowa (unlikley IMHO).
