How do you know your presidential campaign has legs in Iowa? For Ron Paul staffers, it came with the realization that the crowds the congressman now draws can no longer fit into the confines of a Pizza Ranch. "We can't do a lot of the venues that the other candidates can," Paul's Iowa co-chairman David Fischer said Thursday. "The Pizza Ranches are out." Paul held eight town hall meetings this week in eastern Iowa, each drawing crowds ranging from between 150 in Manchester to 800 in Bettendorf. None of the events were booked at any of the state's 71 Pizza Ranch restaurants—sites which routinely play host to other GOP candidates. "The crowds have just been incredible," Fischer said. "There's a lot of undecided voters who are curious about Ron Paul coming to these events." The libertarian-leaning politician has also seen his base of supporters increase over the past month, Fischer added "It's blue collar, it's independent-thinking folks, you even get some Democrats in there," he said, adding that business owners, Christians and families that home school their children have also attended Paul events. "There's just a huge variety of people interested in this message, and that tells you the power of the message." Polls now paint Paul as a front-runner, with Wednesday's Iowa State University/Gazette/KCRG poll showing the 76-year-old leading in Iowa. http://caucuses.desmoinesregister.com/2011/12/23/ron-paul-passes-pizza-ranch-test/ --- In [email protected], L Larry <lzp3a@...> wrote: > > Frontrunner Ron Paul is blasting past all the corrupt Repug FILTH!
