Wow. Who the was that CNN dude? "Hold the Ron Paul stuff." What a tool. 
Still, some of it isn't totally out of bounds. Ron Paul came in second in the Ames Straw Poll (whoopty fuck), so people are supposed to treat him as if he has a real chance at winning this thing? (Romney came in 1st in 2007. John McCain? 10th.) The small but vocal Ron Paul contingent at the debate goes wild, ergo the "crowd" went wild? (All of the people sitting behind Bret Baier were going pretty mild.)
The real scandal is that everybody has to pretend to give a shit about Iowa. If you're reading this, Iowa: go fuck yourself. You don't really matter.
