With all the smear from Romney you'd think he didn't push abortion, gays and gun bans.

The Des Moines Register poll — the final one before the Iowa caucuses on Tuesday — has Mitt Romney and Ron Paul virtually tied in the lead going into the final 72 hours before voting.
In the survey, Mr. Romney has 24 percent and Mr. Paul has 22 percent.
The new poll, which was released online by the newspaper at 7 p.m. local time, shows the candidates closely bunched up behind the two leaders.
Mr. Santorum has 15 percent in the poll while Mr. Gingrich gets 12 percent. Mr. Perry has 11 percent and Mrs. Bachmann gets 7 percent. The poll has a margin of error of 4 percent, the paper said.
The paper said that Mr. Santorum’s support boosts himself into second place when only the final two days of the poll were counted.
The survey reflects a reordering of the field in the last several weeks. The previous poll by the Register, released on Dec. 3, showed Mr. Gingrich with the lead, at 25 percent, Mr. Paul in second and Mr. Romney in third, with 16 percent support.

Sad day for America when multi million dollar smear campaigns work and win. If voters are too damn ignorant to do their homework and vie for candidates like Paul and Romney...GOD help us!!!!!!!!! amazing Gingrich is even in double digits after the onslaught by the gop establishment and millions spent bashing him. I am so disgusted. Go to Bing or google and all pop ups that are anti Newt (when I type in his name) but type in Romney and it is all green lights. FUMR AND FUFAUXNEWS
You got that right PhilDragoo:) the only Speaker of the House with such great accomplishments. Tell that to Rove, Faux News, Imus, Anne “adams apple” Coulter and Larry Sabato. Newt brings real HOPE to this nation ...NO ROMNEY...NO Paul...GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NEWT!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD be with us in this fight
DS=”Derangement Syndrome”, one assumes (s)he means “Romney Derangement Syndrome.”
Why is that so absurd? Paul is a loon on defense and foreign affairs, but great on economics. That makes him better than Myth, who is a lefty on economics but mushy moderate on defense.
Right now my ranking of them all is:
Newt
Santorum
Perry
Bachman
Paul
Huntsman
Myth
If elected, Myth will destroy conservatism for a generation. At least people will recognize Paul isn’t a conservative.
