The Republican presidential primary has become a bit feisty, but it will get downright ugly if Ron Paul wins the Iowa caucuses.
The principled, antiwar, Constitution-obeying, Fed-hating, libertarian Republican congressman from Texas stands firmly outside the bounds of permissible dissent as drawn by either the Republican establishment or the mainstream media. (Disclosure: Paul wrote the foreword to my 2009 book.)
But in a crowded GOP field currently led by a collapsing Newt Gingrich and an uninspiring Mitt Romney, Paul could carry the Iowa caucuses, where supporter enthusiasm has so much value.
If Paul wins, how will the media and the GOP react? Much of the media will ignore him (expect headlines like "Romney Beats out Gingrich for Second Place in Iowa"). Some in the Republican establishment and the conservative media will panic. Others will calmly move to crush him, with the full cooperation of the liberal mainstream media.

The major scare tactic 3 days before any election has historically been to say, "a vote for "X" is throwing your vote away from the "electable" either Repub or Dem who is up for the vote.
Ron has the Republican ticket on his side this time, but we all know even they don't want him to win!
Just wait for a whole lot of Hooplah
And PLEASE keep your heading and vote Ron Paul in this time. He will finally let Congress feel good about solving our nation's problems in a BIG way!
Ron Paul 2012
Ron Paul is looking good to win the PRez in 2012. His grass roots organization, love of the constitution and ability to raise money from common folks (instead of the special interests) is unstoppable. RON PAUL 2012!!! Join the Lovelution!
He'll get my vote!
