Likewise Dimstar.

What I find most encouraging about Dr. Paul’s campaign is the unification of Americans. Alliances that we could not have imagined a short time ago, are now forming. Party lines and other divisions are fading. Liberty is rebounding.  
:itr41:  
I’m not one for holding hands and singing kumbuyah or anything queer like that, this is different, this is what America needs.

Everyone in unison…:finger2: to overbearing, overtaxing, overspending federal bureaucrats. We support Ron Paul because we love our country and our freedom, and we hate what the crew in DC has done to this once great nation.

that sounds all fine and dandy but take pittsburgh for example, we keep electing the same tired ass dems and we keep having the same tired ass problems. if we cant fix things at a local level, how is a whole country gonna get changed. i’m not bashin ur sediments but i’m askin that as a legitamite concern.

Obama and Huckabee overwhelming victors in IA.

The good news for darkstar is that Ron Paul did get a large enough vote to most likely be considered a “real” canidate. He beat Giuliani and got close to McCain and Thompson.

I can’t believe Huckabee is doing so well.

> **Candidate A** became the front-runner early on by winning the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary. He used a two-prong strategy. In the South, which most had tacitly conceded to Alabama’s _Candidate B_, **Candidate A** ran as a moderate favorite son. When _Candidate B_ proved to be a spent force, **Candidate A** swept the region. In the North, **Candidate A** appealed largely to conservative Christian and rural voters and had little chance of winning a majority in most states. In a field crowded with liberals, he managed to win several Northern states by building the largest single bloc. Initially dismissed as a regional candidate, **Candidate A** proved to be the only _Party A_ with a truly national strategy, and he eventually clinched the nomination.

And won the election…can you name that Candidate?

That’s right, Candidate A is none other than Jimmy Carter.

At least Ron is on the Radar now. Good things are coming it looks like.

Huckabee apparently has some pull in the bible belt. Let’s see if it holds out.

10% cannot be ignored. especially since this was a state that was no very pro-paul to begin with. Iowa = religious nutbags, which is why Huckajesus did so well.

Thoughts on Huckabee wanting to abolish the IRS, and make a flat national sales tax of 23%?
