First of all, forget 5th place. The 10% is the key, and getting double digits in a state like Iowa is an outstanding success. Here's why:
The GOP chieftains are now facing the sobering reality that they cannot beat a Democrat in November without the votes of Ron Paul's supporters (If RP isn't the nominee).
They know that if there are thousands of us in Iowa, then there are millions in the other 49 states, and they must get us on board to have any chance.
Look for Paul to start getting much more favorable coverage and exposure in the media (already happening) and watch the GOP establishment suddenly become our best friends. They now see that they can not afford to piss us off any longer. A Ron Paul third party run is now their worst nightmare.
I expect Fox News will start taking heat from the GOP and now let him into their Sunday NH forum and start treating him with much more respect. Make no mistake, Rupert Murdoch doesn't want Paul anywhere near the White House since he's profiting massively from the current state of perpetual warfare, but since Fox News is a GOP propaganda outlet, they've got to keep the party in power to have any relevance.
After New Hampshire, the momentum will start snowballing and we'll be riding it all the way to the nomination.
After that, there's no way in hell that any of the ultra-liberal, totalitarian big-government Democrats will beat RP head-to-head in November.
Believe it!
