The title is misleading — they should have said “second in Iowa” and I forgot to add it in paranthesis.
For Fred to come in second in Iowa would be quite an accomplishment, since Romney and Huck are basically tied for first, so one of them is most likely come in second.
I agree, but CBS wants the headline to give the impression of apathy on Freds part.
