in part:


“But the independents are very supportive. Some of them are coming over and voting in the Republican primary,” Paul continued. “Matter of fact, several of them told me today, they says, ‘I’ve never worked with the Republican party but I’ll be there this year for you.’”

Paul said he is especially attractive to independents “since Obama’s not trusted on the economy. And actually the progressives are very annoyed with him, too, because he was really supposed to wind those wars down.”

As he looked out the window at the hills of Dubuque, he said he was thinking about what he will say in tonight’s debate.

“Not nervous exactly. It’s something you anticipate. You want to outguess them,” he said.

Asked what messages he’d most like to convey tonight, he said: “It all depends on the questions.”

Also, there is a watch party for Paul supporters the reporter was nice enough to include, and he got an endorsement of another Iowa GOP central committee member. (in article, at end)

Pretty good article. I remember him getting a few more endorsements than they listed at the end of the article though.

Were you there today? Because I think those were just the new ones.

I was not. I meant the "few more" to mean previous ones. My miscommunication.
