A new Bloomberg poll of likely caucus participants shows a four-way tie in Iowa, with Rep. Ron Paul joining Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain in the top tier of candidates. Underscoring the uncertainty in the race, 60 percent of respondents said they could be persuaded to back someone other than their first choice for the nomination.

Good shit. Now we just need to hear it from Fox. If I hear it from Fox, I'll be extra happy. Drudge could help us with the radio hosts as well.

so that means the majority of that 60% is weak support for mitt, newt, and cain.

I've been looking. Seems like Fox is in blackout mode for now. Working on the spin I suppose.

Looks like the media blackout of Ron Paul is helping him in Iowa.

Watching Fox now and their anchor just brought up a lot of major problems with Gingrich's past. A lot. Tiffany's, wife scandals, flip on cap and trade, $ from freddie mac... and more. I found this interesting. They also talked about how Newt wouldn't fair well in the general among independents because of this. Maybe with this latest Iowa poll they will try to beat down Cain and Gingrich and go for a full on Romney push?

Fox would push Ron before Romney. Truth.

"Ron Paul moves in to top tier of race. Of course the elderly gladfly running his quixotic, meaningless campaign will never come close.to the nomination, but he has moved into the top tier."

You hit all the key words, quixotic,gadfly... lol. Just a matter of time before the Br"ASS" at the C B(period)S(period) propaganda network start to drum it into the homes of lazy Americans.

Why SHOULDN'T the voters and the media support Paul at this point?
His message is clear, his message is populist, his message is based on reason, and his message is born from the Constitution.

A good generality to keep in mind is that polls lag behind the media, and the media lags behind changes in popular opinion. If we can get another poll or two like this to come out soon it will become obvious that folks have started to realize that there is no reason NOT to support Ron. Our time might be coming. We can MAKE that happen by dialing for Paul, donating to the campaign and acting as if Paul is the front runner. Go about this thing confidently, because at this point we have no reason to act otherwise. It's shaking out exactly how many of us thought it would.

Doubt it. I believe some of those people on there hate Ron more than Obama and that's saying something.

I heard Fox News this morning mention the poll - they were trying to use it to talk about Cain and Newt, but he kind of said "There's Ron Paul" under his breath before getting to the next guy. That was the first I heard of this poll! He totally missed the REAL STORY!!

I'm literally holding back tears of joy right now. For how many years have we waited for headline like that? CBS would never say something like this until they realize they HAVE to.

We can do this!!!

Don't worry, the story is trending big in the news. I've seen lots of good articles so far besides the cbs ones. The headlines are similar, Ron Pauls surges, Ron Paul top tier etc.

I think they'd push his budget trying to get Romney to adopt it.... MAYBE. It is a possibility.

if things keep going the way i think, fox will actually be forced to cover ron paul in a positive light to keep any credibility they might have;) Ron Paul 2012 Tsunami!!!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlPqL7IUT6M<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlPqL7IUT6M">

If she wants popularity and her name in the spotlight, we'll give it to her. Endorse Ron.

I think it's a lot more likely than some here suspect.

Romney would continue war. Ron Paul wouldn't. Fox would push Romney first, no doubt.

Their viewers hate Romney more. In the end, they are a business. You'll never see a Fox Romney push.
