that year and bob dole won the iowa caucuses that year as well. right on his heels in iowa, a very close second was pat buchanan. do you see -- in talking about the ron paul supporters, do you see any echoes of the support pat got in iowa in the ron paul candidacy this year? could his isolationism be appealing to the same block of iowa republicans? >> i think so. i think ron paul is on to something. there is an anger in the electorate. you see the same thing on the far left-hand side of the movement. people are angry throughout the political spectrum. and so i think it's easy to dismiss ron paul. i certainly agree with those who say he's not going to be the republican nominee for president, but i think he's on to something. pat buchanan was on to something. pat robinson was on to something. so you have to read these results as something more than who comes in first and second. you have to ask what are voters saying? what's the republican party saying? what are republican activists saying? and i think clearly a lot of them are upset. and isolationi

or that mike lee would defeat sitting senator bob bennett in the utah gop statewide convention. or even that marco rubio would beat out carlie crist down in florida. what was so shocking about all of these upsets wasç that in eah case an insurgent, more radical candidate was able to defeat a more establishment-connected and almost certainly more electable front-runner. and they were able to do it in a republican party that has a long history of giving great deference to its establishment figures. in fact, if you look just at presidential nominating battles, the history of the republican party over the last two decades is the history of establishment candidates coming out on top. in 1988 was george h.w. bush, the sitting vice president. in 1992 it was bush 41 again running as the incumbent president. in 1996 it was bob dole, who no one had much enthusiasm for but he was certainly the establishment guy. he was the next in line. in 2000 it was george w. bush, probably the most establishment guy possible. after all, this was the son of the previous republican president. 2004 it was
