***UPDATED***

Really great speech from Rick Perry on his behalf at one of the larger Iowa Caucuses tonight. It was an impassioned plea for a vote and we’ll see if it was effective:

UPDATE: The returns have come in to Fox news for this caucus that included 2 districts, with Mitt Romney winning both districts handily, Santorum coming in 2nd in both districts, and Perry coming in 3rd in one district and Gingrich in 3rd in the other district. Not a good showing for Perry. Looks like his speech fell on mostly deaf ears.

Great speech

Is this Rick Perry? I heard of him

WHERE has he been?

If he keeps this tempo up and continues with the good ads

He may have a chance to kick IRAN'S butt once and for all.

Best outcome for Perry is Paul winning with Romney second and Santorum a close third. As long as Perry is close to Newt for fourth, it's not over for him. Think how far Newt has fallen since Thanksgiving. The same could happen to Santorum. Iowa has not cleared anything up. Ironically for Perry, more debates will only help here on out (assuming he performs as he has in the last three).

I'm pretty sure the way this works is the top couple candidates get all the funding from millionaires. This is their primary, and thus they ARE voting for the Presidential nominee, but the reason Iowa is so important (as well as New Hampshire) is because it tells the big-money sponsors who to campaign for and donate money to. No one is OFFICIALLY excluded from any other state until our GOP Nominee is chosen (after ALL states have voted). I could be wrong, but I think that's how this works.

Really? That's cool. I loved it and I hope he continues this. It will work for him in the long run.

I though that was EXCELLENT...until the last 15 seconds or so! He really dragged that ending on too long (it was kinda awkward :-D) Other than that...I'm REALLY REALLY REALLY liking Rick Perry!
