I live in a small town of about 11,000 people in South Eastern Iowa. Over the last couple of months we've had both Clinton and Obama speak here in our town, so it seems to make sense that I saw several Clinton and Obama signs go up around town in peoples yards.
 
But over the last few weeks I've been noticing a rapidly growing trend. Hundreds of Ron Paul signs have been popping up in yards all over town. This makes me wonder if Ron Paul is in fact rapidly becoming a serious candidate?
 
Now I'm an avid Mancow listener and have heard Mancow supporting Ron Paul over the last few months as he is in fact a libertarian. I have to admit that I agree with much of the libertarian ideal even though I am myself a registered Republican. But even if I agree with Ron Paul, what's the chances of him actually being a contender and actually getting the vote? A question that I find myself giving a different answer to today than what I gave a month ago. Obviously my answer a month ago was a "When people in hell get ice water", but today I have to say that my answer is "Some smart sob found a way to import ice water to hell!".
 
Now I don't know if Ron Paul actually has a real shot here, but from what I'm seeing here at a grass roots level in small town Iowa I have to say that his chances are looking better all the time.

	Great little article. Its an encouraging to here Iowans notice Ron Paul''s growing popularity. Iowa is a key state for name recognition. If he can manage a top 3 finish there, the media won''t be able to ignore him anymore. BTW... Ron Paul is the leader in national straw polls now and the Vegas odds makers have changed his odds of winning the presidency to 15 to 1, they were at 200 to 1 just a few weeks ago. Guest Report
