Paul Party: Loud Band, Quiet Room
Email
ShareJanuary 03, 2008 9:28 PM
ABC News' Z. Byron Wolf reports: Results are not final, but with news organizations predicting Huckabee the winner, things are dismal and largely empty at the Ron Paul party at the Marriott in downtown Des Moines.
A local country band called Justice is playing loud music to an otherwise very quiet room.
A waste of the open bar if you were wondering where some of that $20 million is going.
Paul himself had scrambled to a large caucus site in Waterloo where both he and Huckabee were set to make final pleas to Republican caucus goers. He will be late to his own party as a result.
But the night is young and supporters hope he can gain some ground on Republicans John McCain and Fred Thompson and Rudy Giuliani, all clustered in the low double-digits with 41 percent reporting. The goal at this point is to finish closer to Huckabee.

I don't think Ghouliani was ever in double digits, unless you count decimal points. Dr.Paul almost tripled this so called "national front-runner". First they ignore, then they attack.....
