...Iowans will be able to answer their telephones again, free from automated robo-calls and solicitous pollsters. They can watch television and listen to the radio, free from a barrage of political ads. They can switch from dissecting the candidates to grousing about the weather...
...hasn't helped matters that earlier this month the Paul campaign paid for two former Republican legislators from Huckabee's home state of Arkansas to come to Iowa and give radio interviews attacking his record on such issues as taxes and immigration.
