Default Re: Predictions: What % of the vote will your candidate get in IA/NH?

My question is, if Paul does do well, how will the MSM try to downplay it? Because they *certainly* would. If he won the strawpoll they'd accuse all those Iowa Paul voters of coming from all over the state to spam the poll.

It's pretty unlikely that he'll win considering Mitt Romney is buying tickets and giving them away. If Romney loses the straw poll he might as well give up. The biggest competition in the Iowa straw poll for 2nd is probably Tommy Thompson and Sam Brownback being that they're both midwesterners and raised more cash than Paul in Iowa. If Ron Paul does come in 2nd, they'll downplay it by saying McCain and Giuliani weren't there so it doesn't really mean anything.
