One Saturday in Ames

The Ron Paul registration tent a few minutes after it opened.

Paul forces have discovered the usefulness of the carnival approach toward saving America. The little kids mobbed this one, pulling themselves laboriously up the mountain for a quick slide down. The point to be impressed on their elders was that two centuries of hard work can be erased by a couple of decades' over-borrowing.  

The Midway --gimme caps, fried food,  free pop, and your choice of petitions to sign. (I limited myself to one, for constitutional carry.)

Somebody in the Perry camp got to feeling uneasy that he had absolutely no presence and that his announcement timing was a gob of spit in the Iowa face. So they hired an untalented middle-school kid to decorate a van. This is about as good as it got for Perry here.
