WEST DES MOINES, IOWA
Come Tuesday night, one that great political democracy more impressive winning streaks, dating to 1984, will crash ended when Rick Perry, unless there is a miracle, not win Iowa GOP Caucus President.
But in Iowa, don’t win doesn’t mean a loss, and Perry’s people ready for the fourth place finish to spin, if not decisive, survive. Strange as it may seem unlikely.
Perry camp believe she can finish anywhere from second to fourth. Heck, on Sunday, maybe positive spirit-filled after attending a Lutheran Church of hope with Perry, Ray Sullivan, Director of communications campaigns, was moved to communicate this: “I think there’s a chance he could come in second. I think there’s a chance he could win. “
Yes, all things are possible in a democracy is great, and everything seemed possible after You go to church, but the first place it seems very unlikely, it seems unlikely, the second and fifth looms as a possibility. Des Moines Register poll published Sunday showed Mitt Romney at 24 percent, Ron Paul on 22, Rick Santorum flavor du jour, the du-15. Newt Gingrich in 1994, Perry on 11 12 and Michele Bachmann 7.
