2012 compared to ’08.
Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul says his campaign is going “all out” for the Iowa Republican Party’s Straw Poll in mid-August. Paul ran for the GOP’s nomination in 2008, finishing with nine percent support in the last Straw Poll back in August of 2007. “There was a time when I thought when that campaign was over I would go back to my usual obscurity and I would keep trying to plug away, but the momentum kept building and the prodding occurred, ‘Do it again! Do it again!’” Paul says. “I think that everybody’s so much more optimistic this time.”.Link
