The News Record :: Iowa caucus result more than suspicious - Adam Croxton:
January 26, 2012 - "There are several mysterious happenings, perhaps coincidental, surrounding the Iowa Caucus.

"To which Benkie replied: 'I’ve talked to the party officials; I know they’re concerned about it […] Ron Paul doesn’t do us any good in Iowa, doesn’t do the country any good, will never get there, so let’s figure out what we need to do.'"
