The best news I’ve seen out of Iowa so far is that Rudy Giuliani appears set to finish behind Ron Paul.
Rudy’s the purple line there that just crossed below Paul’s red line near the very bottom. But now Bob Novak says a Ron Paul third place finish is a real possibility.
Frankly, I can see it. This is basically a two man race between Romney and Huckabee. The race for third is among candidates almost twenty points behind those leaders. Prof. Franklin’s average of the last five polls has it McCain (12.4%), Thompson (10.8%) and Paul (7.2%). One thing you have to say for Paul’s supporters is that they’re committed, on many levels.
