There is a bright side to all the doom and gloom [some] supporters are spreading tonight. And it is this: "They" can no longer say that Ron Paul is in the single digits any more. 10% is double-digit support and does command and demand respect for Ron Paul as a serious contender. We just need to continue to build momentum leading up to NH, Super Tuesday, and eventually the White House.

But for now, let's just take a moment to reflect on the passing of a meme. Farewell single digits, we do not mourn you, but pass you on instead to Rudy Giuliani.

I still can't believe that 1 in 10 Republicans in Iowa are Paul supporters, and that you would need an average of 20 Republicans to find a Giuliani supporter.

Amazing...amazing.

Was Iowa an "open primary" state??? or did you have to be registered republican to vote??

you might see some much lower numbers if it were purely CLOSED to registered republicans.


How many MEETUP members were in IOWA anyhow???

Independents had to declare Republican or Democrat when arriving at the caucus to vote
