Enfin, dira-t-on, le grrrrande presse-Syst\u00e8me, bard\u00e9e de toutes ses libert\u00e9s fondamentales, de son objectivit\u00e9 sans pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent, commence donc, dans un effort surhumain, \u00e0 d\u00e9couvrir l’existence de Ron Paul, class\u00e9 second (18%) dans les sondages pour le Caucus<\/em> de l’Iowa du 3 janvier 2012, entre Gingrich (premier avec 25%) et Romney (troisi\u00e8me avec 16%) Mais c’est pour nous dire aussit\u00f4t que cette position de Ron Paul, son activisme, son efficacit\u00e9, sa progression en cours, qui pourraient bien lui faire prendre encore bien des voix au clown-bouffon Gingrich, devraient profiter \u00e0 Romney.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tEn effet, simple est le calcul de ces \u00e2mes d\u00e9licates. Puisque Ron Paul NE PEUT PAS (point final) gagner la d\u00e9signation du parti r\u00e9publicain, tout ce qu’il gagnera sur le premier profitera au troisi\u00e8me. Ainsi existe Ron Paul, pour mieux d\u00e9partager les autres dans la course \u00e0 la d\u00e9signation. Tout cela nous est expliqu\u00e9, en long, en large et en d\u00e9tails dans le pompeux et s\u00e9rieux Washington Post<\/em> (le 9 d\u00e9cembre 2011<\/a>), d’apr\u00e8s une d\u00e9p\u00eache de la pompeuse et s\u00e9rieuse agence Associated Press. Les consignes<\/a> sont respect\u00e9es, en toute libert\u00e9 de la presse, jusqu’au bout de la v\u00e9rit\u00e9, en v\u00e9rit\u00e9<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abAny rival who drains votes away from the rising Newt Gingrich as Paul’s allies believe he does could help keep Romney’s chief opponent at bay here. But Paul’s traditional, all-out campaign in Iowa has pushed the libertarian congressman into second in a key Iowa poll and the reality is that even if he wins the caucuses, many Republicans say, he likely can’t win the Republican presidential nomination.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThat means, Romney allies privately say, that Paul’s success may be Romney’s gain.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbPart of it’s because Paul has a history of organizing to win straw polls around the country, but earns little attention or credibility as a mainstream candidate in return. He came within about 150 votes of beating Rep. Michele Bachmann at the key Iowa test vote in August but his near-victory was barely covered, supporters complain.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThat same yawn could also greet his performance in the caucuses. And even if he does get the recognition that past surprise caucus performers have found, Republicans say he’d have trouble moving on to challenge Romney in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Florida the way Gingrich could.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbA Ron Paul rise poses less of a problem for Mitt Romney simply because Ron Paul has trouble expanding beyond his base, said Tim Albrecht, an Iowa operative who worked for Romney in 2008. If Ron Paul can chip away at Gingrich just enough, he could conceivably win the caucuses, but he doesn’t have the longevity of Gingrich.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tEtc., etc.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
