Ron Paul is going to win Iowa!

I've been predicting this for maybe a month now, but new polling confirms it: Ron Paul is leading in Iowa. In late December! There are two weeks until the Iowa caucuses, and between these great poll numbers, his kickass advertising campaign, and his huge statewide organization, Paul is going to glide into a major win there. I'm predicting at least 25%, maybe 30%. We'll see how that holds up.

Tim Pawlenty -- Good riddance

I'm already completely sick and tired of all these stupid articles about Tim Pawlenty. As I said yesterday, his campaign was doomed after placing a distant third in the Ames Straw Poll. And of course, today, he dropped out in humiliated defeat. But there are a million articles about it, many claiming his exit "changes the landscape" of the race for the GOP nomination. The guy was polling 2-3% nationally! His entire campaign was a creation of the media, who desperately wanted a phony-baloney, principle free candidate to ascend to prominence.

The simple fact is, the clown has absolutely zero to offer, and thankfully, voters saw through his say anything to get elected facade. So he drops out, and his tiny percentage of the vote gets absorbed into the margin of error. He meant nothing, and his exit means nothing.
