I just made a last-minute decision to head up to New Hampshire this weekend for a weekend of canvassing for Ron Paul. My wife, who would really like to go, is doing her part for the Revolution by being a good sport and staying home with our 3 young kids.
Some people may be disappointed with Ron Paul’s 10% in the Iowa caucus, but I think he did fantastic under the circumstances. Considering they’re dominated almost entirely by party hacks, it’s amazing Dr. Paul did as well as he did. Bill Clinton only got 3% in Iowa in 1992. I think Reagan did even worse in 1980. And best of all, Ron did twice as good as Rudy!
Ron’s real test will be New Hampshire, and if ever there were a time and a place for a libertarian upset, this is it! I’ll report back on Monday about the road trip.

I’m up at the FSP Liberty Forum in Nashua. Haven’t gotten out to canvass with everything going on but Paul will be here Sunday afternoon. I’ll fill everyone in at the dinner.
