Attention Ron Paul supporters: If there is one lesson to take away from Iowa it is that sitting at your computers filling out online polls does not get your guy into office. Yes, more Ron Paul supporters showed up than showed for Rudy Giuliani and Mr. "Terrorism" may be on his way out. But not enough Ron Paul supporters got off their duffs, braved the cold, and caucused. You know who you are. You got over-confident, figured that "the other" Ron Paul supporters would get out there and stayed home where it was warm and cozy.
Money isn't enough. Online activism isn't enough. You have to press the flesh and talk up your guy in the real world as much as the other candidates do, so for you Ron Paul supporters in the other 49 states, learn from the Iowans' mistake.
Ron Paul actually did better than a lot of people expected. He went double-digit result, beat Giuliani, and got close to Thompson and McCain.
Paul can still stay in the race if he has a strong showing in New Hampshire. If he does well there, then it will be time for the big push for Super Tuesday. McCain and Thompson are running out of money and they don't have a lot of grass roots support. They may fizzle out after New Hampshire if Paul can pull ahead of them.
That puts Paul in a position to negotiate for the VP slot at the convention if Super Tuesday puts enough delegates in his column. (MR)
