The Official Ames Straw Poll Thread

[Epic]

lol Bachmann's own video bragged that she was a "tax attorney for US Government"

 

[RP Supporter]

Also, Paul's own campaign said they expect 4000 votes, right? If anything he's probably lowballing that.

Cautious optimism here...

 

[pauliticalfan]

Is this the straw poll or the Biography Channel?

 

[flightlesskiwi]

ya know what, if i wanted to know all about michelle bachmann's life i'd google her. i want to hear about her political stance. this is freaking weird.

 

[Agorism]

Bachmann used Rand Paul's commercial for her into.

She is such a hack

 

[acptulsa]

If they get a limited amount of time, that commercial's going to leave her time to say about five words...

This is not scientific but I see more red Ron Paul shirts than anything else in arena. #strawpoll

 

[wormyguy]

Of course, if we're assuming the Paul campaign is lowballing we also have to assume the Bachmaniacs are as well... :-S

 

[JTforRP]

Big difference between 4,000 VOTES and 4,000 TICKETS handed out, right? God I want these numbers now...

 

[PeteinLA]

Good God this carpet bagging Iowa want-to-be Iowan Bachman intro is making me ill. It just kind of rubs me the wrong way. Her accent is all Minnesota I hope other Iowans have the same reaction.

 

[flightlesskiwi]

doesn't make me feel any more comfortable about the weird stuff she's been pulling as far as canceling events and keeping her speeches short..

 

[RonPaulRules]

What an annoying whiny woman.

 

[V3n]

Why is she screaming???? She's got a mic!

 

[Aratus]

The numbers overall are screwy....I heard from numerous sources Ron had about 4700 tickets out....more than Bachmann at 4,000 (and I don't think she'll have much more out than that....) plus attendance is under 14,000....

the campaign is not being phased by her 4000 tickets

 

[RonPaulRules]

She does everything for cheers. STFU

 

[wstrucke]

I think Ron can get first today, but regardless we're still at the beginning of an uphill battle.

 

[pauliticalfan]

Why is she running all around the stage?

 

[RonPaulRules]

She sounds like a talk show host.

 

[flightlesskiwi]

and i still find myself staring at her fake nails.
