I’ve been saying so for 3 months...Perry will come in 1st or 2nd in Iowa. Paul doesn’t count. His support does noit come from Republicans.

A lot of it actually does. I know a number of them in rural Illinois, which is politically similar to Iowa. Iowa has never been an interventionist (in terms of military)kind of state. Paul has also had some success portraying himself as a pro-lifer (while handcuffing himself on doing much about it, though he'd be willing to defund PP and pick strict interpretation justices).

These Republicans who support Paul don't altogether realize that Paul is making a play for the Code Pink/Pothead left, but they are Republicans and conservatives.
