In this Wall Street Journal, the election is taking a turn. Ron Paul may actually have a chance to place second in this Iowa and New Hampshire caucus coming up. Earlier in the election he had about 10% support. Recently , as Iowa polls come out Ron Paul has about 18% in the polls now. This is enough for him to compete for his spot in the number two spot. Paul also has a great advantage because most of his voters are very loyal. They are not just with him because they love him but because they love his ideas and his overall philosophy he believes in as a president.
A great deal of his followers believe in his views on religion. This is a hot button topic, so people who are big conservatives and traditionalist will side with him and try and get the religion back where they believe it should be. Romney and Paul are going to go head to head over the New Hampshire and Iowa caucus because the states they visit after those two are most likely going to be Gingrich's win because already they are backing him. So If Paul wants any chance he will have to go hard for his spot. It also might be benefical for Paul to let Romney and Gingrich air each others dirty laundry until they both eliminate themselves. He is also love for another one of his ideas which is to scale down on government. I wonder what will happen next week.
