In Praise of Retail Politics [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
Mitt-supporting D.C. mom in Ames for the straw poll e-mails:
Overall, I have to say, I was impressed with the quality of the "retail politics" — lots of people were out in force in the 90-degree sun touting their candidates and their ideas - intelligently, passionately, and politely. The kind of crowd where, even if your kid gets lost, you aren't thinking "Amber Alert," but rather, "I just need to get the PA system to tell whoever finds him to bring him to the Mittmobile." While in line for the Fair Tax Ferris Wheel, a Ron Paul supporter calls out, "Ron Paul has been pro-life his whole life." The response of some Mitt Romney supporters: "God Bless him!". Paul supporter: "Mitt Romney hasn't!" Romney supporter: "I know. But he is now, and he is the only one who can beat Hillary Clinton, and she has never been pro-life."
