After a third place finish in Iowa, Paul tells the voters he will continue. He told a crowd of supporters in Iowa that even though he didn't finish as high up as he'd like to, the momentum will continue through the next primaries. Many people dismissed Paul, especially the media, but Paul has a lot of grassroots support that will boost him considerably. He might stay even for months, going against Romney's super PAC and Santorum's evangelical base. Aside from Romney, Paul is the only candidate to qualify for the Virginia primary, held on March 6th, also known as "Super Tuesday". Paul's prominence continues to surprise people and might surprise Romney and Santorum along the way. Again Paul has the money to compete, drawing attention and support from many grassroots organizations. During 2011, he was kind of an afterthought. Since the Iowa caucus sets the tone for the rest of the campaign, Paul could just stick around long enough to do some serious damage.
