To be certain - and to get some harder data - he hooked up his participants to stress-monitoring devices, and then swung a hammer at the space where the illusory chest would have been.

He does have six bilingual staffers on the ground, has already reached out to Latino groups, and he's the only candidate to grant El Latino, Des Moines' 5,000-circulation Hispanic weekly, an interview, done in Spanish. And, "when the time's right, we'll start advertisements" targeting Latin voters, he told TIME Wednesday morning over a breakfast of scrambled eggs and sausage. At the same time, he says that Hispanic outreach in Iowa is "important...
