I think Ron Paul can win in Iowa
The Iowa Caucuses will be held next Tuesday. Mike Huckabee won the GOP side of the caucuses four years ago. He had strong support from evangelical voters in Iowa. He didn’t win the GOP nomination to run for president but his Iowa win certainly shook things up a bit.
Polls show that this time around there is no clear-cut leader. Can Newt win in Iowa? Or will it be Mitt? This time around the evangelical vote in Iowa seems split up between many of the candidates. The winner in Iowa will probably be the candidate with the best organization on the ground. That is probably not Newt Gingrich. He failed to get on the primary ballot in Virginia because they failed to get enough valid signatures.
Mitt Romney has been ignoring Iowa somewhat to focus on New Hampshire. He has the organization on the ground in Iowa but I don’t think Mitt will garner many votes from evangelicals.
Which leaves Congressman Ron Paul to play the spoiler. He has the organization there. With so many candidates splitting up the votes in Iowa I think Ron Paul can actually win there. If he does that will really shake up the GOP field.
Ron Paul has written a lot of books. So has Newt. Mitt has written some, too. Between those three, when the dust settles I see Ron Paul potentially coming out on top in Iowa. If he does that will be one for the history books…what do you think?
p.s. I see that a restaurant in Iowa just named a sandwich The Newt. It has lots of ham…
