Ron Paul in South Carolina: He brings anti-war, anti-Fed message
2012 Elections Wednesday, January 11th, 2012

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Ron Paul sought Wednesday to seize on momentum from his strong second-place finish in New Hampshire.
“We sent a pretty positive message out of Iowa. We sent out a pretty positive message last night in New Hampshire. And South Carolina is next on the list,” the Texas congressman told more than 200 enthusiastic supporters crowded into an airport hangar on a rainy afternoon.
Though Paul joined the other GOP candidates in rushing to South Carolina following the New Hampshire primary, his stop was essentially a layover on the way to Texas, where he is taking a respite until Sunday. Once he returns, he plans to stay through the primary on Jan. 21.
Unlike its operations in Iowa and New Hampshire, the Paul campaign does not have a deep organization here. But Paul said after his speech Wednesday that he will finish “in the top tier.” He’s currently fourth in the most recent polling, trailing Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum.
“The numbers grew exponentially in New Hampshire, and the numbers are going to grow continuously here in South Carolina,” Paul said during his speech.

Ten days is enough time to make a big impact. Go Ron!
Ron Paul is running ads of different types in South Carolina, and they will make an impact. Don’t be surprised if he gets over 20% of the vote for the third state in a row. Would like to see a win, because that would really send shock waves through the establishment. They wouldn’t know what to do. Ron Paul 2012.
With Mitt and Newt busy ripping each other to shreds there’s no reason not to shoot for first.
Go Ron!
