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 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.
