<<<< At best, it's a measure of how well some very right wing Republican presidential candidates can organize their followers>>>>>

But wasn't Pawlenty well organized? And Romeny was extremely well organized last time around and got like 3%. I don't think it is about organization at all - I think it is about Passion. Passion of the voters. That is why Paul does so well in settings like this. You get the really REALLY passionate at these events.

On one of the news shows they said Iowa was for "t-vangelicals"- teabaggers and evangelicals, in other words- and that must be true, considering who won. It would be great if the whole party kept that up, because Obama would look great compared to either Crazy Eyes Bachmann or Just Plain Crazy Ron Paul. :-) It's a tougher match up with "I'm looking normal by comparison" Romney.
