Ron Paul within one point of front runner Gingrich in Iowa poll

Great news. Amnesty-Newt is collapsing. Guess those “radical rightwing social engineers” were not that loyal supporters, no matter how much ethanol pandering is used in IA.

Amnesty can still be stopped. Bachmann is at 11%. Given the nature of Iowa caucus, this is easily within striking distance.

It is a choice between a conservative or radical Global Warming Amnesty progressive.

Every four years thousands of Iowans are absorbed by Ron Paul pod people...

...nothing new here the nut is still not going anywhere.

[Cato in PA]

At this point, with Rick Santorum perpetually in single-digit limbo and Herman Cain out of the running, I honestly don’t care who wins as long as it isn’t Romney.

If Beck, Savage, or any of the other backstabbers think I’ll ever hold my nose and vote for Slick Willard, they’re mistaken. A choice between Socialist R and Socialist D is one not worth making.

[P-Marlowe]

This poll is BS. Ron Paul is a certified lunatic. I don’t believe that Iowans are that stupid.

Paul has a vocal following of lunatics.

This is the same 10% of America that still thinks Elvis is alive.

[Jonty30]

I hope not.

It’s scary that he could potentially sneak through, if there was a three way split that happens in a fluke.

It is a choice between a sane conservative or radical Global Warming Amnesty progressive.

I think that's a better summation.

If Ron Paul wins Iowa it’s the end of Iowa as the first in the nation. If last year’s Huckabee choice is followed by Ron Paul I think all candidates will avoide Iowa like the plague. No one will want to win there.

[Happy Rain]

The caucus system in Iowa allows the votes to be scalped like tickets to the Super Bowl.
If anything,the Paul pod people are making the state more and more irrelevant.
Next time the candidates might as well go straight to New Hampshire.

POLLS...
Whenever I read about poll results, I always wonder what and how the questions were asked?
When I was in college way back just after the wheel, we were taught in marketing class that you could construct your Poll in a way to get the results you were looking for.
It should be a journalistic standard to include the Poll questions when results are publicized. IMHO..

[TexasFreeper2009]

It’s called an outlier, and an obvious one at that. No need for anyone to panic.

[Sudetenland]

I hope you’re not suggesting that Ron Paul is sane . . . it only leads to questions of your own sanity. Paul is dangerously nuts. He would be a greater threat to our national security than Obama.

[Reagan69]

My foot.

“There are a lot of parallels between Paul’s strength in Iowa and Barack Obama’s in 2008 — he’s doing well with new voters, young voters, and non-Republican voters,”

Yes, Paul is nuts. That is yet another similarity with the big O.

[Louis Foxwell]

“There are a lot of parallels between Paul’s strength in Iowa and Barack Obama’s in 2008 — he’s doing well with new voters, young voters, and non-Republican voters,”

Note well: He does well with the disinterested, immature, and anarchists.

PPP poll commissioned by Politico and SEIU. Yawn.

“There are a lot of parallels between Paul’s strength in Iowa and Barack Obama’s in 2008 — he’s doing well with new voters, young voters, and non-Republican voters,” said PPP in an explanation of its poll’s findings.

And we all know how informed those voters were...

[Chainmail]

Ron Paul’s an idiot. His followers are three notches lower on the scale.

[tbpiper]

Heavens no! A sanity requirement would exclude Paul.
