The Official Ames Straw Poll Thread

[aravoth]

I can't stand her voice, "WE ARE THE TEAM", lol Waterloo? WTF

 

[ChiefJustice]

How can people favor this woman? I honestly dont understand it one bit.

 

[PeteinLA]

As a native Iowan I'm offended by her use of the word "IOWA" .

Currently looking for something to throw at my TV. Arrrrrgh!!!!!

huntsman thinks rep. bachmann is beating ron paul?

huntsman's only hope is to be somebody's veep?

does he want her as a second wife?

 

[wstrucke]

Wow fear tactics from mb. She said theres very bad peeps out there she can save us from.

she's trying to mix everything into this speech, but IMO it's a disaster. if I supported her before this speech, I would be skeptical now. hopefully people there can see that.

The serial killing Solomon Brothers from Waterloo, Iowa?

'Generation after generation has laid it on the line for us and now we have it.' Until you helped pass the PATRIOT Act, that is...

 

[lucky_bg]

The crowd doesn't sound that fired up for Bachmann??

my impression, too

 

[pauliticalfan]

Begging for votes, wow.

 

[libertybrewcity]

Bachmann loves me

 

[libertybrewcity]

I feel so warm inside

 

[aravoth]

"In 2006, when Michele Bachmann was recounting her career path at church, she explained that her husband Marcus Bachmann told her to get her post doctorate in Tax Law, and that while she hated the idea, “The Lord says, ‘Be submissive, wives. You are to be submissive to your husbands.’”

Another president who hears voices? Heaven help us...

'You will thank me for restoring the promise of the future...this we will do together.'

MB Really? or just riffing?

I think she met the Iowa count with the 'i love you' count there at the end.

 

[Harry96]

So many words, so little content.

For anyone who didn't see it, here's the condensed version: Vote for me because I'm from Iowa.

And here's the complete transcript: Iowa, blah, blah, blah, Iowa, blah, blah, Iowa, blah, blah, blah, blah, Iowa, blah, Iowa. PS: Iowa.

 

[mommaliberty]

come vote with me... nothing like pulling at someone's emotion to get them to vote with a celebrity!

 

[flightlesskiwi]

she really does love us, america. really. loves. us.

 

[sailingaway]

Intrade has both Ron and MB at above 50% chance.... maybe its that voting fraud thing thinkprogress was tweeting about

(apparently the ink starts to come off on TPaw blizzards. )

(and, no, I am not really suggesting voting fraud)
