I was told the article would be about Paul, and it ended up being about Pawlenty :mad:
But the juxtaposition between the failure of the Pawlenty campaign and our grassroots efficiency almost makes up for it :p

Seeing no Pawlenty fliers, Feenstra asked about the omission.
Kass shrugged and said a field representative for Pawlenty had been late delivering the candidate’s brochures.
Feenstra winced, incredulous. “What?”
“Hopefully, we have it all out here tomorrow,” Kass said.
Near the Republican tent, supporters of Ron Paul, who had their own booth, were briskly gathering names and handing out brochures. Kass, who was using the county fair as a site for an informal Plymouth County straw poll of announced and prospective GOP candidates, eventually reported that Bachmann had won and, surprisingly, that Romney and Paul had finished a strong second and third, respectively. Pawlenty found himself in fifth, behind Cain.
Preoccupied by the missing Pawlenty fliers, Feenstra stood off to the side and shook his head ruefully. “This kind of mistake can’t happen in a campaign,” he mumbled.
