Former LP NY Gov Candidate offers great advice for the Paul Campaign on what to do if Ron Paul wins Iowa.

Four weeks from now, Ron Paul might win the GOP Iowa presidential caucus. Some in the media are starting to talk about the possibility, such as the National Review.

Winning in Iowa would bring a whole new set of challenges for the Ron Paul campaign. Below I discuss how the campaign can best address them.

Good suggestions, I hope the campaign has considered them.

LOL, this is assuming the media isn't outrageous enough to continue to ignore Ron Paul even after Iowa!

My contention for a while has been that the size of the victory will determine the narrative. If Paul wins by one or two points, the storyline will be whether Newt and Romney can mount a come back and they will still paint it as a race between the two. A ten point victory, well that's another story.

A small dedicated group of supporters SLAMMED the caucus.

Exactly. A cult-like group of youngsters invaded the caucus.

If Ron Paul wins Iowa three things NEED to happen: spontaneous minibomb for Ron Paul and the other; those who are fantastic with making videos on youtube need to make montage after montage of the media making fools of themselves by constantly claiming Ron Paul can't win then show the winning results of the Iowa Caucuses. Destroy their credibility and make them look like FOOLS and make them go viral. Also kick the campaign into overdrive and slam NH with grassroots and support. Let's get revolution off the truck and on the job!

somehow the campaign will need to bypass the mainstream media, if they continue to marginalize him

If Ron wins Iowa, I can't even imagine what happens in the media...then again more importantly how the gop voters in NH react...it's not like Huckabee had a prayer in NH so his Iowa win wasn't that impactful BUT Paul does have a chance in NH...so an Iowa win bumps Paul so hard, it'll crack granite...
