Iowa Republican straw poll is a joke Romney practically brought the whole thing

[bigdarryl]

In fact i wonder if he would have won against Huckabee if he didn't buy those votes. notice the top two candidates in this straw poll who lead what there jobs were. you guess they both are former GOVERNORS i don't think the rethugs are going to pick a senator for there nominee.

1. The story will be Huckabee.

2. YEP i said five months ago watch out for this guy hes good with the one liner jokes and hes the most

conservative out of the bunch. this also proves these national polls don't mean shit. Huckabee isn't even registering in the national polls I know this straw poll is is not scientific but this is a indication at who the republicans in Iowa are looking at.

5. He's not especially conservative--not fiscally, anyway. Just a bible-thumpin' fundie

who lost a lot of weight. I have no idea why he's running. Same with Brownback.

edit to say--this is NOT who Iowans are looking at--the actual scientific polls in Iowa show Rudy winning, and Hucky and Brownback don't even register. All this shows is money and/or organization. That's why Romney wins, but his win is essentially meaningless, except it will be made a deal of in the media.

4. Huckabee has lived 3/4 of his life as a liar, and the rest as

Governor of Arkansas, and we want him gone,, and stay gone

3. This poll is not a joke, it will eliminate some and make others. It is a fund raiser and all their

candidates respect the rules. Money Rules. Sort of like a convention of bank robbers. But all agree and respect the outcome.
