In the interest of full disclosure, I'm a big fan of Ron Paul, which may be one reason I thought this video was so funny. It may help to know the results of the Republican Iowa Straw Poll before you watch it.

Note that third place Pawlenty dropped out of the race after the results came out. It may also help to know that Mitt Romney, who is a "Mormon", didn't actually run in the poll, but he got quite a few votes anyway.
Here's the video. Enjoy.
Sorry about the ad. I can't remove it and I'm not getting paid to have it there.
Favorite line: "What?! Jon Huntsman?! Huntsman got 69 votes! If all of Jon Huntsman's supporters met at the same Ames, Iowa Quizno's, the Fire Marshall would say, 'Yeah that's fine; no problem. There's still some tables open in the back.'"
Awesome clip, thanks for sharing!
