Just in! Ron Paul is the candidate to beat in Iowa (Huckabee, campaign)

[capitalcityguy]

Wow, and this is coming from an evangelical conservative Christian radio talk show host:

Ron Paul may be the contrarian in the Republican presidential field, but his conventional approach to the Iowa caucuses makes him the candidate to beat on Jan. 3.

Love his take on Romney:

Mr. Romney’s organization is largely revenue to buy advertising and the mercenary political hack class. He’s nowhere near as strong organizationally as he was four years ago. The mainstream media keeps asking me about Mr. Romney exploiting the split in the social-conservative base. They’re asking the right question, but they have the wrong candidate. It is Mr. Paul who is in the best position to exploit that opening.

Deace is on the fence regarding Paul, but he absolutely hates Romney. Deace was the main reason Romney lost IA last time, and the reason why Romney is not going anywhere near IA this time.

Wait, you mean one guy scared Romney away from an entire state?

Right. Deace bashed Romney on air 24x7 in 2008, and at the same time promoted Huckabee, and Romney lost every county Deace's show aired in (and of course, propelling Huckabee to a win). Romney now knows that if he goes anywhere near 100 miles of IA this time, Deace will go into overdrive against him, and so Romney is not campaigning there (at least not even 1/10th the effort a front-runner would have normally put into the first-in-the-nation caucus state).

No, not one guy, but a whole lot of bigoted people evidently live in Iowa as far as religion goes. Romney knows from his last go round in Iowa that he not not going to win there. No need to waste a whole lot of money on it.

Ron Paul has a real good shot there actually.

I admire Paul's grit and wish him well in the GOP race.

So because people don't like a Progressive policy flip-flopper like Romney they must be bigoted?

Get real. Romney is just to the right of a dead Kennedy when it comes to big government and restricting liberty.
