Bachmann's campaign manager quits and joins Ron Paul

Ron Paul continues to gain ground in Iowa and now will have Kent Sorenson, Bachmann's former campaign manager for Iowa and a state Senator involved in his campaign.

This is a stunning blow to Bachmann's campaign and shows the handwriting on the wall for a Ron Paul victory in Iowa. The issues are what drives the Paul campaign and the invectives of his opponents just serve to increase his popularity. Was it P.T. Barnum that said "Any publicity is good publicity" ?
In any case the Paul campaign continues to be on top and positioned for a victory that will be a real upset for the Republicrat machine.

Ron Paul effects an ever widening gap on issues between himself and all the other "Republican candidates".
His platform stands alone, but embodies old school solidly Republican ideas from the Reagan / Goldwater era, and better, from the founders ideas and the founding documents. This draws a striking contrast with the "Neo-Con" big government so called "Republicans" of today who are no more than a right wing of the Big Government party with socialists and Democrats all believing that government must solve all the countries' problems.
