Listening to CSPAN currently is driving me insane.

 

[canadian4ronpaul]

OMG! who is paying these people to call in?

 

[JE24T2]

Bachmann can give away 10,000 tickets - that just means 10,000 people want to watch Randy Travis - that does NOT mean 10,000 voted for Bachmann!

Who said Bachmann giving away 10k tickets would mean 10k voted for Bachmann?

derp

 

[justatrey]

Wow did that guy just call Ron the most selfish candidate?

 

[White Bear Lake]

She does have a super thick Minnesota accent. I'm hoping that Iowans see through her cheap pandering.

MB has a classic

minny sodahhhhhh or

minn...eeerrrsssoderrr accent?

Haha, her accent is nothing compared to mine. She has lived here since she was 12 though so it is authentic.

Bachmann Breaks 6000

Michele Bachmann has now given away 6,000 tickets at the Ames Straw Poll, a source familiar with the organization said. It's a number that suggests she'll leave the event with a serious head of steam.

Bachmann started late but scrambled to put a field operation in place and has won the allegiance of conservatives here, most recently by putting herself at the center of the debt limit fight.

Ron Paul's campaign is the other boasting of similar numbers, but Paul's latest tallies are somewhat lower than Bachmann's.

Did anyone just hear the Darwin Award winner that called Ron Paul an isolationist and an "ordinary politician"? Was the caller the CIA director himself?

Homeboy, put down the mushrooms and crack pipe...open up a book or your brain...

Yep, "we can't save everyone in the world"

Dude, thank you for calling out the news stations, and referring to 2008, how they neglected to mention him. Strong call - I give you props!
