Ron Paul Expects "Dramatic Good News" Night Before Iowa Caucus

Views:930

"I'm keeping my fingers crossed," said presidential hopeful Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) the night before the Iowa Caucus. "I think we may have some dramatic, good news for tomorrow night." Paul supporters at the Prime N Wine in Mason City, Iowa were in high spirits during his final stop on the Iowa Whistle-Stop Tour, which he embarked upon with his son, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.).

Reason.tv was on the scene to gauge the mood and to ask what it is about the Texas congressman that inspires such a devoted following. Answers varied, but common themes were Ron Paul's
consistency, his peaceful foreign policy, and his willingness to take serious steps to reduce the deficit.

Reason Senior Editor Brian Doherty , whose biography of Paul will be coming out in May, was also there to document the event and provide political commentary. "The interesting thing about Ron Paul fans that I found is that whatever hooks them first," says Doherty, "once they're hooked in, they decide, almost universally, that they like everything about him." Perhaps because they value his logical consistency, most of Paul's supporters told us that they would not be willing to support another Republican candidate should he fail to get the nomination.

While many pundits still consider a Paul nomination a long shot, Paul and his supporters feel optimistic about his chances in Iowa. "I definitely expect Ron Paul to come in over 20 percent," says Doherty. "Absolutely he'll finish a strong second, and a win is definitely still a possibility."

About 2.30 minutes.
 Produced by Sharif Matar and Zach Weissmueller.
