Roland: This is Roland Hedley. It was shortly after dusk when the media event first swept through the small Hoosier hamlet of Rosewater... members of the Rosewater G.O.P. caucus had just cast the first ballot in a presidential straw poll.

Man: Stripped of their context! Right there in front of our families!
