Ron Paul pitches long-term thinking in Iowa
CEDAR RAPIDS – If U.S. Rep. Ron Paul was a financial investment, Drew Ivers’ challenge would be to convince investors past performance is no indication of future success.Paul finished fifth in the 2008 Iowa precinct caucuses, but Ivers thinks the Texan is the Republican Party’s best bet for defeating President Barack Obama in 2012.
“So we have to get people to think long-term – past the straw poll,” Ivers said during a Paul campaign stop in Cedar Rapids July 25. “Three months from now, his message will be stronger. In six months, it will be even stronger and I think in October 2012 it will resonate strongly.”
Among the reasons for that optimism is the Paul campaign’s gloomy – realistic, he argues — outlook on economic recovery and the growing disenchantment with America’s military involvement in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and elsewhere.

His time has come. It's time to elect him. He can beat Obama hands down. That leaves the question, who for VP?
Ron Paul, love him or hate him, at least he isn't a party hack!
If the Republicans are smart, they'll give him the nomination. A lot of Dems will cross over for him.
I'm a conservative and think a lot of Ron Paul, fact is though he hasn't a chance in getting elected. He's too old and just won't get a fraction of the vote he needs.
928-He's the only candidate in the race so far that could attract independent/blue dog voters. To be honest, he's also the only one who could unite the right(sorry, the very vocal minority of the party cannot; neither can a RINO like Romney). Ron Paul can attract a large fraction of voters. His message resonates with the people.
