The Picture from Iowa, 2012: Ron Paul — As Normal as Deep Fried Butter

This is the eight post in our series, The Picture from Iowa, 2012 based on photos and on-the-ground conversations with photographer Brendan Hoffman leading up to the Ames Straw Poll, combined with analysis by The Bag.

***

Brendan didn’t think the two laughing campaign operatives were interacting with Paul. Apparently, the explanation is that Paul sometimes “goes into a zone” before he speaks to an audience.  Otherwise, I’d imagine some clinician out there looking at this and thinking “Aspergers.”  On the other hand, to the extent this gives Paul a bit of a pious cast, it’s makes him as normal, right now, as deep fried butter. Paul, by the way, is predicted to show well tomorrow.
