You ought to give Iowa a try..

Five degrees, the high of the day.

Today, I went to Clear Lake and Mason City Iowa, to spread the gospel of Ron Paul. I went with another fellow-RP supporter from Minnesota, and we left bright (dark) and early, at 5:20 am (see below.)

The day was chilly (5 degrees) so being out all day wasn't a healthy option. However, the two of us dropped a total of 500 "slim jims" (information pamphlets) - 380 door-to-door and 120 in parking lots.

Our observations in these two towns is that Hillary owns them. We saw several Hillary signs, a few Obama signs and a couple of very large Romney signs (I wonder how much he paid for those?)

We talked to one seemingly informed Iowan, and he is confident that Edwards will win the state. Apparently Edwards' Iowa campaign is extremely well-run and efficient. Actually, going door to door, I noticed one Edwards info sheet in a door, plus 2 mailings (in OPEN mailboxes.. I did NOT open them!!) sent from his campaign.

The discouraging thing is that we didn't see any Ron Paul signs, and from the reactions of people we met, these cities have not been hit by the rEVOLution.

I'll leave you with this recent quote from News Long Island:

"No longer can it be said that Ron Paul is running for President. Amazingly enough, his candidacy has been hijacked, and it appears now that the people are running for President. . . through Ron Paul!"

I haven't seen that hour for years.

Slim jimmin, or Ron Paul-ing?

Slim Jim and Hillary
