BREAKING: Rand Paul in Battle for First in Iowa
Some good news for the liberty movement coming out of Iowa. Senator Rand Paul holds onto 15% of the vote in a new statewide poll released by PPP. He trails the leaders of the poll, Huckabee and Rubio by only 1 point, and a 5.4% margin of error makes this essentially a tie.

Would love see the negatives as well. I think a lot of people are negative on Huckabee and Christie and those two would see a fairly hard ceiling on their potential vote. On the other hand, Paul probably has a lot less negatives, when compared those two and potentially others.
