Ron Paul: Poised For An Upset In Iowa?

The basic story of the campaign season, if you've been absorbing the most conventional accounts from the most conventional media, is that Mitt Romney established himself early on as the candidate to beat. One by one, the other candidates have, in rapid succession, risen to the challenge but failed to surmount it. In that storyline, we've gone from Michele Bachmann to Rick Perry to Herman Cain to -- now -- Newt Gingrich. And the movement up and down for these various candidates has been chiefly the result of the sorts of crash-and-burn errors that the media dearly loves to report on, from Bachmann's HPV debacle to Perry's brain freezes to Cain's alleged sexual harassment of his subordinates.

Now, the media waits in wonder for the story to repeat itself with Gingrich. Sure enough, the first sign of his presumed decline came yesterday when Reuters reported that a University of Iowa poll suggested that Newt's "support could be slipping." It wasn't the most convincing poll in the world, for a variety of reasons related to timing and sample size that are too complicated to expound upon at length, but it nevertheless shot around the world on social media, as the political press geared up for another turn at the flame-out feeding frenzy. And as luck would have it, Public Policy Polling came out today with another set of numbers that suggested the same thing.

So who benefits if Gingrich fades in Iowa? Not so fast, everyone who just said, "Mitt Romney." Via PPP:

Wow, I didn't know AOL still existed.

Here is the direct link to the story on the AOL homepage, but might want to send them some traffic anyways, just for showing Ron in their feed.

Yeah, their site has 48,000,000 monthly unique US visitors. Pretty significant.

I just used my Beeper to tell my friend that RP was on AOL front page. He was like damn and plugged in his 56 k modem and is waiting patiently for the page to load!

Funny! :D

People still use AOL?

[opinionatedfool]

Wow, I hate the AOL home page. I saw the article for a sec and then it rotated to something else. I didnt have time to click and now I can't get it to show the Ron Paul article again. Ugh. I'm happy its on the home page though.

At the bottom of that article there is this...

Oh Oh! i know Wolf, ask him if he'll run 3rd party...douche.

Wow this is almost surreal. It's hard to believe my eyes seeing that article, obviously written by a supporter, featured on the aol.com homepage with the headline "Ron Paul Could Pull Off A Magic Upset". And to have the poll results the headline on Drudge at the same time. Incredible. I think we're gaining some real momentum right at the perfect time, let's top it off with a great day on the 16th.

[leetlamer]

This is good exposure.

It's actually a great article. I encourage everyone to read it. Like someone else said today on the forums (I think in regard to Barr), we may be at a tipping point that will really separate the wheat from the chaff. This guy is clearly on the side of giving us a fair shake, like Jon Stewart. Those who are looking to see a fair election, regardless of who they agree with, are basically our friends at this point. Those who viciously attack us, who might come out of the woodwork very soon, are clearly on the other side of the line. I just need to remember it's important not to argue with them and better to find those who are open minded. The attacking is a sign of fear - a sign we are winning.

Today was one hell of a good day!! :D

Don't forget AOL now owns HuffPost.
