Don’t believe the spin about Giuliani writing Iowa off. Nick Bradley looks at campaign appearances vs. votes and finds that Giuliani came in a dismal sixth place, with only 4,000 votes for his 35 appearances.

Will Fox News now reconsider its ridiculous exclusion of Rep. Paul from Sunday night’s forum?
