Aside from the front row "Sign Jockeys", the Iowa straw poll

[annabanana]

certainly seems a desultory crowd. The stadium is far from full. . It seems as if "your" candidate isn't speaking, you are out grabbing a bite, or something..

1. They're all over chowing down on Willard's filet mignon and cabernet sauvignon

Iowans aren't stupid. They're probably over at the free food areas.

2. Cmon now, these are Iowa Republicans you're talking about.

I guess your IQ doesn't have to be very high to know how to fill your face.

3. This Was Hillarious TV

Nothing to watch this afternoon, my son and I popped on this mess and laughed our asses off. We even played a modified version of "Hi Bob" with such buzzwords as "Islamic terrorists", "illegal aliens", "god bless America", "Raygun" and "cut taxes". I promised him he could raid my private stash if the name "booooosh" was uttered. Needless to say my stash is safe. :rofl:

4. abortion and guns was on the agenda a lot

5. We Kept Finishing Sentences with "...and guns"

Thompson..."we could cure cancer...all we need are guns"
Mittens..."we'll have a more compassionate country...all we need are more guns"
Brownback..."we need to force families to stay together (is he favoring making divorce illegal? Sure sounded like it)...all we need are more powerful guns
Hucklebee Hound..."I lost all this weight, vote for me...all we need are slimmer, concealed guns"
Dukin Donuts..."I built that fence all by myself...nothing in this country can't be solved by shooting a few cans (Africans, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans) with more guns
Tom Tancredo..."what Dunk said...with even more guns"
Ron Paul..."I'm against everything you guys are for...except we all need more guns"

7. OMG, that's hilarious!

Sounds like you guys had fun. Do you really think the Iowans really care that much about guns?

[benEzra]

8. I suspect the 40-50% of Iowans who own them probably do, both (D) and (R). (n/t)

[OzarkDem]

6. Its too early n/t

[hatrack]

9. Somewhere around 24 - 25,000 Iowans turned out in 2000 for the same event

About 14,000 turned out today, according to the Tee-Vee.

Hmm, interest and activism falling off just a tad?
