Yeah, it appears that Ron Paul is doing well, and could win Iowa. Not sure how far he will go from there. Thought this a good article about concerns over his past newsletter. It's an important matter that needs greater addressing I would think for him to have a possible chance of winning beyond the Hawkeye state.
