The guardian med en god analyse av gårsdagens debatt.

The candidate who will gain the most from this debate – I made a list of "winners" earlier, but that's sort of not the point – is probably Ron Paul.

But to return to Ron Paul: laughed off at first, and then deemed too far out of the mainstream, Paul has been slowly but steadily climbing in the Iowa polls. His debate showings have been similarly consistent. He is, unarguably, the most consistent of all the candidates – in his voting record, in his policies, in his persona, and I'm willing to guess in his personal life, too.

Ron Paul can win Iowa. Throughout this contest, he has shown himself to be patient and a little angry, much like Iowa Republicans.
