Paul Update Jan. 7-13

In the New Hampshire primary, Paul won approximately 8% of the vote.  Because of this small percentage, many rumors spread that voter fraud had occurred in the primary.  However, Paul responded saying, "I carefully considered the arguments for and against a recount before instructing my campaign staff not to pursue it. Without a firm belief that vote fraud had taken place, and without the possibility that a recount would have increased the chances for success of our campaign, a recount would have diverted campaign resources, time, and energy away from crucial battles elsewhere."  Prior to New Hampshire, Paul responded to a comment John McCain made (that "he would be fine with keeping American troops in Iraq for 100 or even 1 million years") suggesting that "his comments recklessly put America at risk as such a statement will likely serve as a recruiting tool for Bin Laden and Al Qaeda." Currently, Paul runs a tight race with Guiliani for fourth place; however, Paul is not giving up. This next week, Paul will be in Nevada campaigning before the Caucus on the 19th.
