Ron Paul Iowa Caucus

Ron Paul pulled 10 percent of the votes for a strong fifth place finish trailing Thompson and McCain by 3 percentage points. Some may consider this a defeat, but I think this is a victory for many reasons. The first being that he finished ahead of Giuliani who received only 4 percent of the votes. Dr. Paul also received more Independent votes than any other Republican which is good news heading into the New Hampshire primary next week. The entrance polls in Iowa showed that 68 percent were satisfied or enthusiastic about the Bush Administration as well as 60 percent of the voters being Evangelical Christians. He had a lot againist him and had a solid finish.
