Rush is wrong about the facebook thing. Carson probably paid for one of those “like” services which artificially inflate your facebook like count. People were reporting that Carson’s numbers at one point were going up like a 100 every minute for a 24 hour cycle. I never saw an official article about it, only people commenting about it on Twitter as it was happening.
An analysis of Carson’s supporters on facebook would probably find more than just a few as fakes.
Yes, the Facebook thing is nonsense, but it is true that Carson has run an effective under-the-radar campaign in Iowa for quite some time.

How do you explain Carson in IA then?
