I doubt Ron Paul will be close to a victory in Iowa.
However, a caucus is a test of how well you get actual people to show up at a meeting and then stick with you when others ridicule their selection.
Of all the candidates, the two candidates who have shown the greatest ability to get their people to show up at meetings and cast votes are Romney and Ron Paul.
And you can be certain that those who support Ron Paul are NOT going to be talked out of it if they show up.
Fortunately for those who oppose Ron Paul, he can’t bus people in from other states. But he’s got plenty of money to bus people around IN the state, and his supporters are extremely motivated to both show up and to convince others to show up.
So let me just say that it won’t be a complete shock to me if Paul does better than expected. Including by me.
Wow. If Ron's neo-Nazi friends hear a rumor that he's "in favor of busing," he could lose a lot of support.
