There has never been any candidate who has won fourth place, let alone fifth, in Iowa and come to win the nomination. I mean, he couldn't even beat John McCain or Fred Thompson. The only reason he even beat Guiliani is because Guiliani pretty much defaulted. If he can't bump off Thompson or McCain he ain't gonna win. |
You mean since 1972 no one has won candidacy for prez less than 3rd. RP's candidacy is only recently started to show in the media and his name recognition is lackluster currently. I am happy with 5th at this stage.
Let's see what happens in NH.
