A third place finish but far from finished Roswell today say duties after it was as good so -- Iowa now some are saying that even if he doesn't pull off primary wins.
-- more strong showings.
It's AVG of these economic platform remember we had this proportional voting right now so we did you don't win the state you are getting delegates from that state his -- Republicans.
Kentucky senator rent -- -- -- a right now senator on.
Are you disappointed -- with the third place finish.
The -- always liked -- first place but they -- talk about there being three tickets out of Iowa.
And if you look at the vote.
There's a clear demarcation between the efforts here and the lower tier I mean three.
Three candidates got the majority of the vote and -- it was very close between the top three.
I think when they eventually divide the delegates up we may well get a third of the delegates equal to Romney and Santorum.
We have a good campaign in New Hampshire and we've got the money to go a long way and we've got a nationwide organization.
So I think we feel pretty good where we are.
On you know -- -- -- the reserve closely what's your -- very closely over the years.
And and I kind of think he was counting on an Iowa and I could be wrong -- -- you don't -- F more about and an idea but I think -- was kind of counting on it so that.
Does your right it's -- tickets clients leaving that state but I don't think he expected to be the third ticket you know entity and I I I think now.
It gets to be a question of momentum that's a harder sell for in a New Hampshire.
Potentially tougher -- South Carolina all these conservatives competing and I would throw your your father in that group.
Up for the -- vote that will allow bit Romney to run up the middle and went.
So in that sense I think he he is disappointed or minus.
Well what I would say hey is that our chance of winning would be greatly increased if we -- tell some of the Talking Heads.
To quit saying over and over and over again Ron Paul can't win.
I mean between all of the networks yes I wanted to better not start all right about that by the way has died after hearing senator that.
We have heard it all wrong rob I think you I'm not blaming you don't want our justice and -- can become basket it's okay -- -- become a self fulfilling prof prophecy if it goes on and on one of the interesting things if you just look at the numbers.
Last night if you look at the independent voters that voted Ron Paul won the independence eight Awad yes he did independent -- can -- They can run they can vote also in New Hampshire term.
And when people discount that or disapprove of that I think that goes against everything I've ever heard clearance or is there or not you do there you -- -- by getting those I don't let.
Let's is also about momentum and so you and I can quibble over the degree that that hurts or helps your debt but I don't wanna ask you this.
And not a crackpot theory advanced and looking and I was very closely.
Your dad had a number of very successful some would -- attack kids.
He just called -- in your face truthful ads that the targeted the likes of Newt Gingrich.
Bit that that you don't data point of going after early on.
Rick Perry.
And that.
-- effective negative ads but may be able -- effective on the person grid in the negative ads that they boomerang back on.
On your father would -- say that.
Now I think they they work and you want to inform the electorate and really the only recent Santorum had a chance is.
He rose so late in the polls that -- got a chance to.
To display his voting record.
When the Tea Party finds out this Santorum has never voted against foreign aid.
When they find out he voted to double the size of the Department of Education.
When they find out Santorum voted for the biggest entitlement program since the great society the Medicare part.
I think the Tea Party will desert him in droves.
But we will be part of that we will let them know now Hampshire we'll certainly let them know in South Carolina because that's what the election is about you have to let people know.
Which -- opponents voting record is because.
They're not really willing to be forthright.
