Ron Paul getting rock star treatment in Iowa

Ron Paul has been running a strong campaign in Iowa.

And, reports "Early Show" contributor Taryn Winter Brill, it seems as if, wherever he goes, he gets the "rock star" treatment, with chanting, supportive crowds and many young people among them.

While the 76-year-old Texas congressman with libertarian views may be the oldest of the Republican presidential hopefuls, he seems to be attracting the youngest crowds and has been generating plenty of buzz among young voters.

Of course, he's happy with the rock star comparisons and says he's feeling really good about his chances in the Iowa caucuses.

Buoyed by strong poll numbers and growing crowds, Paul's been a bona fide hit on the stump in the Hawkeye State.

Some might say he's bet the farm on Iowa, spending $1.3 million on ads there. But it's his boots-on-the-ground organization that's been reaching the masses, particularly younger voters.

One told CBS News, "Everything the man says is absolutely wonderful." And another said, "I feel like he has a fantastic plan to help the country out and to help my generation."

What is it he's saying that's resonating with younger voters? "Young ideas," Paul replied. "Freedom is a young idea."

He says a win in Iowa would do wonders for his national campaign, but Drake University political science Prof. Art Sanders isn't so sure.

"When you move outside of economics," Sanders points out, "Ron Paul believes drugs should be legalized, he believes that whether or not people get married should be a private decision, the state should stay out of it. ... Ron Paul has all kinds of positions that are never gonna be attractive to Republicans."

Still, what matters to Iowa caucus-goers is the economy -- a sentiment shared among voters nationwide.

"Given the nature of economy," says Sanders, "and especially the belief among Republicans that the problem is too much government spending, his long-term commitment to cutting that spending in drastic kind of ways makes him look attractive."

Ron Paul is the only truly independent, non-establishment candidate running for either party. The only one who's maintained his principles instead of conforming to whatever the current demands of the system he's participating in are. He doesn't have a hope in heck. As gratifying as it would be to watch American "progressive" and "liberal" types have to support Obama and his pro-combine policies against Paul, it will never happen. Get ready for President Romney!

Seriously though, the first thing to do here is to recognize what the Presidency is and where it fits. It is an office, it is part of the mechanism of government. If you take out a part and try to replace it with another one that doesn't fit, the machine breaks down. In a huge machine like American government and politics, the machine cannot be allowed to break. Paul does not fit. He is running on the idea that the machine is too big, too powerful, too important, that it's bad for "the people" generally, he is running because he truly believes that the machine NEEDS to be broken because it is slowly incorporating all non-combined things into itself. He understands that the best way to break the machine is, at the next regularly scheduled maintenance time, replace the crucial Presidency unit with an incorrect part that will cause serious damage to the entire mechanism.

Of course, nobody else involved - none of the technicians and engineers who keep the machine going - want to see it suffer any damage, much less anything so catastrophic as that. Luckily here's Mitt Romney, the perfect Presidency unit just waiting to be swapped in for the Obama unit, who's getting a little creaky. Essentially the same part, but well-oiled and with less mileage, Romney would keep the whole thing running smoothly.

Based on this metaphor, I am confident in predicting a Romney inauguration this time next year.

^ So... you're in favor of violent revolution instead?

Sorry, but that speech reminds me of those talking heads from FOX or CNN. If Paul can't be elected because "the machine" won't allow it, then the system is already broken.

Ron Paul is still a Christian. He's still a Republican. He's still an American patriot. Ron Paul wants to fix "the mechanism" so that it works for everyone, not break it.

Did any one else see the army vet censored by CNN?

Andy Vanderbilt says it was simply a glitch....The nervous fidgets of the whole panel spoke too many words.

Just a coincidence folks, nothing to see here. Move along.

Definitely not a Zionist agenda.. nope.

Looks like a photo finish between Santorum and Romney with maybe romney potentially pulling it off (santorum is ahead but the remaining votes seems to be in a district that favors romney)

Ron Paul finishes a respectable 3rd, doubling his showing in 2008, hey maybe if he runs again in 2016 he will actually win the damn thing!

Ron Paul is complete and utter moron. He would legalize heroin and cocaine because the Constituion told him to. He is a college age hero because he is such a small talking simpleton they can relate. It gives them a sober high. Like an excused absense from the leftist brainwashing they pay for. They hear their liberal arts professors say that of all the conservatives running he's the only one that really is. They are sent off to their false messiah and when they loset it will be back in line as good little leftists. Ron Paul has alot of hidden support...he's the Depeche Mode of politics.

Anyone who has lived in the real world and is over the age 27 while supporting Paul is just a selfish LOSER. Puff puff pass...

Seems like Romney will pull it off. A strong second place finish will probably cause bible thumping vote go behind Santorum, unfortunately for him, he has like no organization or money of sorts, and the extra attention to him next week will not be kind to him. (he has said and done pretty creepy things)

Romney is also polling very well in NH, and already has most of the money and organization. If he doesn't frack up badly I don't see how anyone else can beat him.

He will be a pretty strong candidate to run against Obama, although I think Obama still has a bit of an edge, esp. if the economy continues to recover.

Paul will hold on to his very passionate base, but due to idealogical incompatibility he will never come close to the actual nomination.
