Ron Paul banks on Iowa to boost N.H. chances

The Boston Herald reports:

A suddenly surging Ron Paul boasted yesterday that he’s counting on a victory in Iowa to vault him past GOP front-runners Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich and into the winner’s circle in this state’s first-in-the-nation presidential primary.

“Iowa has something big to do with it. If we win or get a close second we can build our credibility. There’s this thing that’s very real in politics called momentum,” the Texas congressman told the Herald, referring to the Granite State’s Jan. 10 primary.
