Mr. Hirschorn clearly is irritated by Ron Paul and his supporters. As an op-ed writer he can slop together facts and opinion to make his case. It is the antithesis of journalistic objectivity. Only 12% of the eligible caucasers in Iowa caucused, to conclude much of anything applicable to the national picture is a stretch. As I have predicted previously, as Ron Paul's numbers rise his detractors will become louder and more vociferous.

This story seems well informed and accurate. Historically and sematically the Republican Party has been conservative meaning slow and thoughtful to change. Ron Paul suggests wrenching change. I another good article.
