Iowa is a caucus, that entails a long and lengthy process that only the most energetic of supporters will likely attend.

Ron Paul has the most energetic fanbase, and we will have a great turnout no doubt.

There are a number of things these polls cant predict, namely TURNOUT, and YOUNG Republicans, who have never voted before. Also known as "Unlikely caucus goers'

I dont know about you guys, but until Ron Paul came around, i was an unlikely voter, and i beleive that to be the status quo among the broader spectrum of our movement.

Now also take into account that last time, only about 100K people turned out to caucus in Iowa. The turnout is projected to be smaller this year. We only need about 30k votes to win this thing. This is possible, and i beleive we can do it.

Sadly im down here in Texas, but i wish all of you Iowans the best of luck, and bring a friend or a family member, keep your hopes up because reguardless of what the experts are telling you, the odd's ARE in our favor.

For these reasons i think it is counter-productive to undercut our man and his supporters in Iowa by saying, "we might get 3rd".

Shoot for the sky, its in our reach.

Today the Des Moines Register released a poll that shows Ron Paul climbing to 11%. That is three percentage points behind John McCain in 3rd place. We've got to make up ground.

The Iowa Caucus is Thursday, January 3rd @ 7pm.

Do your part. Call, email, and FB message every Iowan you know and get them to the caucus on January 3rd @ 6:30pm

Tell them to:
* Be at your caucus @ 6:30pm on January 3rd

* You do not need to be registered to vote or a Republican. You can register to vote Republican at the caucus. Print out and bring extra voter registration forms for the Ron Paul supporters that forget to bring their own.
