The Republican base is nervous tonight. At lot of emphasis is being placed on who will take the number three spot tonight.

Their greatest fear is Rep. Ron Paul gaining traction and placing third here in Iowa.

Earlier this year Paul sued the Republican Party of Iowa for using didgital vote counting methods instead of having a physical ballot during the Republican Straw Poll.

Polls of caucus goers favor Gov. Mike Huckabee going into the final stretch. Romney seems to hold the hearts.

Huckabee points out Romney outspends him 20 to 1 in Iowa.

I told McCain that I enjoyed working within his campaign. He sincerely and warmely thanked me. It was an absolute pleasure meeting him, even if it was brief.

McCain Speaks at Iowa Headquarters

McCain talks about Washington corruption and pork barrel spending. Holding the pen Ronald Reagan gave to him, McCain said he would veto any bill containing pork-barrel spending and make any persons attaching such extra spending measures famous.


McCain rallies his supporters with messages of bi-partisan efforts to 'work for America.' This has been a common theme throughout his campaign.




Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS) also appeared to speak in support of McCain's candidacy. Brownback recently dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed the Arizona senator. Jay Heine, Senior Grassroots advisor at the Iowa headquarters said he and many other Brownback supporters moved on to support Senator McCain.

Brownback mentions McCain's fiscal conservative stance against pork-barrel spending.


Brownback talks about McCain's pro-life stance and ability to lead.
