Iowa, Part 2: Hello Ron Paul!




I made my second trip to Iowa yesterday (Dec. 29) with my family. We headed straight south to two towns, Rock Rapids and Sioux Center.

We were fresh on Mitt Romney's trail, who had been in Rock Rapids one day earlier. We asked a couple of people if they had seen him or heard that he was in town- but they hadn't. Iowa seems saturated with all things political now. Plastic politicians like Romney are just starting to blend into the Iowan backdrop.

I got really excited in Sioux Center, because we saw FOUR Ron Paul yard signs on lawns. That's more than any other candidate had in that town. We left literature in their doors- I'm sure they were pleasantly surprised to come back and see that the revolution had been through!

All in all, we distributed maybe 600 slim jims... We talked to a number of people, many of whom hadn't heard of Ron Paul. Now they have.
