Traffic was rolling smoothly at 8:45 a.m. on the roads in to Ames and Hilton Coliseum. There were no traffic jams.
At 9 a.m., the candidate with the loudest presence was Ron Paul, a U.S. representative from Texas.
Supporters stood on street corners, enthusiastically waving and holding up signs. At least 10 cars in the parking lot were decorated with giant “Ron Paul” signs. A guy in a minivan broadcasting Paul’s name drove around the Hilton lots honking his horn.
Yard signs, mostly for Paul, lined the highway interchange on Interstate Highway 35 at Ames, but a law enforcement officer in a squad car was yanking out the signs just before 9 a.m.
