While other candidates were speaking at coffeehouses and diners on the day before the Iowa caucuses, Ron Paul was greeted by a crowd of 500 and scores of national media who packed a downtown hotel ballroom for a morning event.
“This is almost like a real rally,” the Republican presidential hopeful exclaimed. “This is great!”
Polls show Paul in a position to pull off an upset victory in the caucuses Tuesday night, an accomplishment that, if it happens, would amount to one extremely sharp stick in the eye of the GOP establishment.
The turnout had Paul’s supporters crowing.
“For somebody that doesn’t have a chance, this is some crowd,” said Monte Goodyk of Sully, Iowa. “This is the beginning of the second revolution.”
Paul was introduced by his son, Rand Paul, the U.S. senator from Kentucky.
“There’s energy. It’s overflowing. And it’s coming tomorrow,” Rand Paul told the crowd. “We’re going to win in Iowa tomorrow.”

Was he clapping his little hands together? The Kucinich stealth voters must be laughing their asses off.

Why are they crowing, it means nothing.
You all do realize that there are over three million people living in Iowa, right? 500 is hardly a huge crowd.
“Today Iowa, tomorrow Israel!”
-Ron Paul’s new slogan
You forgot the endorsement of David Duke and Code Pink.
So, when all the same day registrants, liberal activists and bused in college students upset a few caucuses will it really matter?
Either Ron Paul wins, or conspiracy theorists will twist and turn the final results to a Ron Paul win. In either case, Ron Paul wins.
Obviously FR is not RP friendly, for whatever reason, but like Palin said, if he’s the nominee I’ll vote for him.
That’s more than can be said for mittens.
I am just hitting 50 years of age and receiving AARP minutia in the mail, which gives me the right to blame all forgetfulness on a shrinking brain.
Thanks for pointing that out, ah, ah, ah....svcw. :)
I wonder how many Bradley Manning supporters were bussed in for the morning event.
And destroy our military putting our country at risk.
FURP!!
If you think anti-Semitic Ron Paul, who did an interview with Iranian TV, sympathizes with them over sanctions, and says they would be justified in closing the Strait of Hormuz AND having a nuclear weapon is anything but a lunatic, then I would suggest some very careful self-examination.
That should answer the sarcasm question for you.
About 500 supporters, BIG DEAL. Bachmann had 9 people at her last rally.
GEAUX BUDDY ROEMER. He’s a cinderfella story.
