heresy, apostasy, what does he have going for him, evan? >> more good news for romney, because he cannot get elected. what is hisuse h appeal? >> isolationism place well in the midwest. they don't want to be in afghanistan, iraq. isolationism does not play well nationally but it does in iowa. also, he has been there a long time, has an on-the-ground network, and that the difference. >> i saw him at speak before a veterans group this week. a number of young people went up to him and said, "dr. paul --" they refer to him as dr. paul -- "i am honored to be in your presence." he is almost like a cult figure for some young people out there, and veterans as well. veterans will support him. >> he has the biggest veterans' support of anybody in this state at the moment. to follow up on what colby king had to say, are we making too much of iowa? it is one of the few places where we still seek retail politics, where candidates are forced to answer questions from real-life people like truck drivers. but not everyone is sold on its continuing significa

evan borders, you are on the scene as well, right? >> reporter: hello? >> yeah, evan. what can you tell us? >> reporter: i'm right in the middle of -- it's pretty big. where am i? i'm on the intersection of pierce. the whole intersection is closed off. the smoke is very thick. i wish i could show this to you but -- wow. >> evan, did you say it looked like a school? en. >> no, i'm sorry. it's next to an old victorian on fire. it looks like a house converted into apartments. >> you say there is a school right next to it -- >> reporter: don't quote me on that. it looks like a school but -- yeah, it's just billowing smoke, very thick, looks very hazardous. looks like they can't even get on the roof. >> we've been told that they were told to evacuate the building. >> reporter: it looks like an apartment -- a small-type complex that -- it looks like it's in danger of catching fire as well. right now, just the old victorian is on fire. it looks like the firefighters are -- i don't see any firefighters on the roof. it looks like it's too hot. >> yeah, boy, it -- you talk about

who's's hope that evan, rarely wrong, is wrong. if we are about to embark upon that, let's do it the right way, by a full and complete debate and declaration of war, a statement calling in about what our objective is and what we are willing to do, as a people, nation, military, and when we get out. >> mitt and newt have been fighting. has anybody been watching ron paul in iowa? >> i did not write them, i did not read them at the time, and i disavow them. >> these things are pretty incendiary. >> because of people like you. >> no, no, no, come on, and these are very incendiary, like saying that israel is responsible for the bombing of the world trade center. >> good buy. >> all right, goodbye. ron paul and cnn's gloria borger. talking about newsletters from the 1990's with racially charged comments. this comes back to haunt you if you don't take care of them in advance. >> ron paul has always been out on the edge, and to attract people who say crazy things, and it is going to come back to haunt you. we would not be paying attention

does iowa deserve all this criticism, evan thomas? >> yes and no. [laughter] >> there is a bold statement. >> it is not representative in that it is isolationist, extremely far right, and it does not pick president's. but one great thing, and this is a great thing, the retail business, that you actually have to go out there and meet the folks. because it is a long process and you have to get to know them, you do get to know thaem. their qualities and values are shown. >> i think that tradition has been really eroded in this cycle. santorum did good in 99 counties, bachmann wants to do the same thing. romney barely went there, and now he is closing strong. >> he did campaign for years ago out there. >> he did and lost. this time he was too afraid to commit and put himself out there. what we're seeing in iowa this cycle is what we're seeing nationally, lots of television advertising instead of a lot of the town all sorts of things. we have a debate and tv ads, but not the same sorts of retail politicking from previous cycles. >> in 2008, barack obama

what does it say about charles evans hughes, that he was not as much of a political tactician? >> i think he was much more of a principled person and a principled lawyer than a politician in certain respects. i think part of what i mentioned before -- some of the women did not vote for him because of the perception that he would bring america into war. wilson had promised -- pledged to remain at peace. but one of the things about the hiram johnson incident that it shows about hughes's character is he was not interested in currying favor with other politicians or the party machine. it shows in a very demonstrative way through the gubernatorial career, he tries to oust some people who have cinecures within the administration, and that is met disfavorably because people think they deserve loyalty from the republican party. i think that cost him the election. >> we have our first call of the evening from duncan. hello. >> hello. i was curious about any bad things and charles evans hughes might upset about woodrow -- might have said about woodrow wilson. >> any bad things he might h

evan why did perry run? looked so ill-prepared. >> i think he got talked into it by consultant, partly, who told him it was going to be easier than it was. >> let me go to mike. why did christie stay out? >> he was the smart one in here. he looked at what happened to rick perry. he looked at how ill-prepared rick perry was for the debates, and in the book, we learned that when he should have been preparing for debates, when he should have been studying, rick perry on his plane, according to a former aide who used to fly with him, he would tell jokes, fraternity-type jokes. he would play around on his ipad. he would look at family pictures. chris christie looked at that and realized that that could be him. realized that he was not ready to go out and do a national campaign. he saw the risk of learning policy on the fly and the danger of going out there without a national record. >> and why did palin stay out, evan? >> well, i think she wanted to get in. one of the things that's interesting in the book, she's
