"He leads the second tier in cash-on-hand. He was able to get 1,200 people out
to the Hy-Vee (has any candidate done something that big on their own, not at an
RPI event?). His home base in Texas isn’t that far of a drive, and his people
are motivated enough to come in from out of state for him. And he’s making a big
push on his Web site, which for all intents and purposes, is his campaign.
Romney, given his dominant position organizationally in Iowa, should still
win. Even with the rest of the top tier not participating, he won’t be able to
let his guard down, lest he be ambushed by one of the second tier. Should Romney
underperform against someone not even playing at Ames, or against someone not
taken seriously, that’s a blow to his Iowa inevitability."
I got a number of comments from people that said that when the numbers came in it would be a surprise how well Ron Paul was doing. I have been dismissive of his bid for the White House, and while I still feel it is a long shot, I wanted to post this. This shows that he is getting serious cash and leads the lower tier, with the chance of becoming a first tier candidate.
