Ron Paul finishes second in New Hampshire

Ron Paul Finishes Second in NH, Says ‘I Didn’t Know You Were Out There’ - ABC News:

January 11, 2012 - "Ron Paul managed to hold on to expectations, finishing a strong second tonight in the New Hampshire primary.

"It was validation for the 76-year-old congressmen who has spent an entire political career preaching his free market ideas and non-interventionist ideology, mostly toiling in the confines of political obscurity....

"It was in New Hampshire that Paul launched his bid for president.... He subsequently made more than 50 campaign stops, augmented with a strong ground game that included a small army of volunteers from around the country and also supported by $2 million worth of television advertising....

"The campaign is already looking forward to South Carolina, which votes on Jan. 21. The congressman is scheduled to hold a rally Wednesday afternoon in Columbia.
