Ron Paul may be able to come from behind the two front runners due to the future outcome of his performance in the Iowa caucuses.  The only factor standing in his way of how far he can get far would be based on his laissez-faire altitude toward social issues and viewson foreign policy.  If Paul exceeds expectations in Iowa, which isn't out of the ordinary, he could take Gingrich or Romney's place as a front runner.  The republicans would try to knock him even more if he wins Iowa and enventually run as an Idependent candidate because they don't think of Paul as conservative as he should appear to be.  Romney and Gingrich will have to make a come-up in the next major caucuses that are taking place in New Hampshire and South Carolina to maintain their spots in the race.
