Hannity was mudslinging last night.... be prepared guys. Now that Paul's about to break through into the mainstream, the attacks are going to be vicious.

Here's another article confirming Paul's lead. Ron Paul | Iowa Poll | Newt Gingrich | The Daily Caller

This disturbs me though : Topica Email List Directory

However there is a great recommendation to besides having the votes tallied the usual way, to make sure they aren't tampered with like they have been in 2008 when Ron Paul clearly had the majority of support in Iowa... and before that when Buchanan ran and was way ahead. There should be a second independent repository or website run by Ron Paul fans where they should also be sent.

According to the story above, the higher ups in the Ron Paul campaign were probably plants by the republican machine and looked the other way when the votes weren't being counted as they should have at the state level and would have or were even against a safety net system to make sure the votes were counted correctly.

I hope THIS TIME they make provisions to take the vote counts to such an independent site in addition to the usual state level people-( where they evidently are CONSISTENTLY tampered with by the Republican machine) and make sure we can avoid another stolen election. If they aren't, WE should. Otherwise all our efforts time and money spent supporting Ron Paul are a big fat waste.

This article talks about Paul reaching out to Christian groups. His main battle is to convince them to choose liberty over control. This also shows his new ad promoting life.

'Does it take some explanation? Yes. Can it be done? Yes.'
These leading voices in Iowa have not stopped Paul from trying to appeal to the state's socially conservative voters.
Doug Wead, a born-again Christian who worked for George H.W. Bush and whom Paul has tasked with rallying Christians nationally for his candidacy, has helped Paul to craft a message tailored specifically to religious conservatives.
Paul quotes Proverbs 22:7--"the borrower is servant to the lender"--when discussing his Israel policy. He cites Deuteronomy 25:15, which commands a system of "honest weights and measures" to argue for sound monetary policy. And he often tells the story of how Jesus drove the money lenders out of the temple to illustrate his outrage over his belief that the Federal Reserve dilutes the value of currency.
Explaining Paul's philosophy of liberty to evangelical voters comes with challenges, Wead conceded. "It is hard. But once they get it, they get it they see the power of it," Wead said. "Does it take some explanation? Yes. Can it be done? Yes, and it's been done incrementally in Iowa with great success."

Paul has heard them all and the difference between Cain and Newt and such arent really going to hurt a man who has been standing for liberty for 30 years.
Plus I think he has taken enough abuse from his own party over BEING A CONSERVATIVE VOICE OF REASON!
