Photos: Ron Paul in Newton, Des Moines, Perry, Atlantic, Council Bluff, LeMars, Sioux City

[Gage]

Just finished uploading all my photos from the past couple days along the campaign trail. I have been following Ron to his various events throughout the state, which included stops in Newton, West Des Moines, Des Moines, Perry, Atlantic, Council Bluffs, Le Mars, Sioux Center and Sioux City. As such, I got a lot of pictures that I would like to share with you all. You can find even more here (http://flickr.com/gageskidmore).

Nice job. Can't embed it, but there's a photo of Ron with dasani water, not the other kind.

[PursuePeace]

Thanks Gage!

[Gage]

Thanks guys, glad you like the photos.

The energy in Iowa has been great. I haven't been to many other candidate's rallies though, only Rick Perry, but even in the most rural areas Ron is able to draw big crowds, which is great.

[BigByrd47119]

Amazing pictures! It would take me an entire day to look at them all but I love the beagel photo!

[Oukvekpwv]

I like ANY photo of Ron Paul, but especially the SMILING ones!
I hope we can make Dr. Paul smile big-time after Iowa!
NH
and on and on.

But I hope most of all, we can help Dr. Paul smile at the inauguration!

Yeah, I really like getting photos of Ron smiling. I try to get as many as possible. Thank you for enjoying the photos.

[Gage]

Bump.

I just saw where Qdog is driving you around and now has to drive people to the polls in Iowa.
The chip in is a great idea. We decided it needed to be $1,000 so, Qdog can drive back home as well as help others who are driving people to the polls

Chip in if you can -- FOR DRIVING TO THE POLLS, HAULING THIS GREAT PHOTOGRAPHER AROUND, AND GETTING QDOG BACK HOME!

Where those crowds actual Iowa residents?

[Gage]

Thanks Gage and QDog. Promoted.
Thanks for the promotion Josh!


Where those crowds actual Iowa residents?
Yes, most everyone I spoke to at these various events were actually from the local area. A couple were from out of state, but it was overwelmingly Iowans only.

[Sola_Fide]

Thanks Gage. Great as usual man.

[RonRules]

I like that one. Here's a politician that's really listening to the people:

Great job Gage and QDog ... looks a lot better (and a lot safer) than that night early in the campaign in Mississippi we were at:) LOL!

[RonRules]

Another good one:

I love the picture of him & the guy with the dog. Saw the video of that one - hilarious!

[Tinnuhana]

Gage, I'm back on Okinawa, but when you get to NH, you've got to get to the headdquarters in the evening for pizza! Phone banking and pizza with good friends. They're already doing GOTV calls and lots of signs going up.

[Gage]

I love the picture of him & the guy with the dog. Saw the video of that one - hilarious!
Yeah it was funny how he got him to pose. I saw the same guy at a Gingrich event today though, so I'm not sure who he supports.

[freeforall]

Beautiful pics!

[Gage]

Beautiful pics!
Thanks!

[Qdog]

Gage is the Man! I love his pictures. I wish the campaign put a giant flag behind Ron more often like they did at the Veterans Rally. Ron looks really awesome with the Stars and Stripes as a background.

[PursuePeace]

Love these two:
