Writes Anne Hill:

From my bunker in a Zurich airport hotel, I had to accept that being 6 hours ahead time-wise of the US East Coast meant I wouldn't know the Ames Straw Poll results until sometime my Sunday morning. Upon arising, I turned my television to Murdoch's Sky News and was rewarded with a full report on lovely, looney Michele's win, but no mention whatsoever of other candidates and results – naturally - that was the moment when I knew Ron Paul had pulled second position.  Of course, I had to boogie on over to LRC on my laptop to learn that the difference was a mere 152 votes.  What a magnificent triumph for Ron within the context of an evangelical state!  Clearly the fix is in internationally, and our media disease is a global affair!  (BBC report only marginally better, BTW.)  Congrats to Dr. Paul!
