Iowa

The results from Iowa were respectable for Dr. Paul , who garnered nearly 10% of the vote. I was hoping against the odds that Paul would finish in the top three. Although placing fifth, only 3-4 points out of third behind Fred and McCain, keeps Paul in the hunt.

Really though, what do the Iowa caucus results portend. After all, Pat Robertson finished second in Iowa in 1988, ahead of George Bush (41). And for that matter, Pat Buchanan won the New Hampshire primary in 1996. Super Tuesday (February 5) is the day that matters, with over 20 states holding primaries in a single day. Fortunately, Ron Paul's faithful supporters have donated enough money ($19.5 million in the 3rd quarter) to keep him in the race until then.
