July 25: Ron Paul receives endorsement from Cory Adams, the Republican chairman of Story County in Iowa.

Speaking to CNN, Adams went on to explain how his endorsement will help Ron Paul. "Back in 2008 there were a lot of people within the Republican Party that kind of disregarded Congressman Paul. And basically didn't just count him in and/or wouldn't even mention him. So when you can have a county chair who is part of the Republican Party, part of the establishment and support him, it gives him more credibility within the party and brings him back from the fringe."
