No matter where you stand on Ron Paul, I would crap on someone on the radio telling me who I could or could not vote for "if I wanted my state to be taken seriously".

Are Americans little whiny children that they can't make up their own mind without this sort of junior high level peer pressure? Sheesh.

I lived in Iowa from 1974 until 2001, save for my military service time. I am familiar with the caucus process and worked for Al Haig and the Polk County GOP. I also guarded then Vice President Bush’s plane and cars while he was running for president.

Completely agree! The title of the article actually should be, "Can Iowa's voters be Intimidated?"

The DC establishment is running scared to keep up this overt --and insulting--pressure on Iowans. The GOP elite are the only ones wetting themselves over Ron Paul. Hell, I'd bet that Obama's people might be giving Romney & Gingrich $$$ at this point just to keep Paul out of the process just so they can keep their Stalinesque "choices" game in place.

Re the big picture of the race, it's only going to be days before MSM stories start handcuffing Gingrich directly & personally to Freddie Mac's fraudster Richard Syron, and start filling in the blanks. And THAT will blow Gingrich out of the water, leaving only Romney and Paul.

So if Iowans are actually successfully intimidated into voting for Gingrich & making him #1, then Iowa really WILL be discredited.

It's an MSM Catch 22 for Iowa either way, so they might as well vote their hearts & give the nanny politicos a three-finger salute.
