The Official Ames Straw Poll Thread

Huckabee: "Congresswoman Bachmann, who won in a very substantial way"

Fuck Mike Huckabee.

Has RP been on any show after the results.. Or any comments from him?

Just checked MSNBC, CNN, and FoxNews. Fox is the only one covering it... CNN and MSNBC are back to their regularly scheduled programming of Unsolved Mystery and Prison Gang shows, respectively.

Huckabee's show is on Fox right now. He said he's going to have Bachmann and Pawlenty on, but Pawlenty called and cancelled, so now he gets more time with Bachmann he said! I don't remember who else he said he's going to have on, but don't remember hearing Paul.

Michelle has no chance of winning the nomination. The front runners now are Paul, Perry, and Romney. The cool thing is Perry and Romney will split the establishment vote. We just have to double our efforts in spreading the Ron Paul message.

so i wonder how many of the bachman votes just wanted to see randy travis

 

[kill the banks]

should be illegal

This is not bad, but it is not good either.

This is not a victory.

Bachmann will be seen as the front runner now.

If we had won, we could be the front runner.

We will need to work EVEN HARDER to win the next straw poll.

Well, I guess we can only lose to Bachmann, but would beat everyone else.

Something about Bachmann does not say "unstoppable juggernaut"

Bachmann reportedly bought 6000 tickets for supporters -- 20% of whom apparently didn't bother to use them. @cspanwj

Huck just said Bachmann won substantially. Umm...

Remember the argument between Huck and Ron back in the '07 debates? Don't expect any love from him.

 

[svobody]

Just read an article with Huckabee saying Ron shouldn't be allowed to run as a Republican due to his Iran views. When asked whether he would vote for him, he chuckled and said I don't think I"ll ever get the chance.

That should tell you all you need to know about that clown

 

[parocks]

but that's with a randy travis incentive.

Wasn't Bachmann born in Iowa?

 

[svobody]

"Former George W. Bush advisor Matt Dowd said the results show that the field is wide open in Iowa and elsewhere, especially since Ron Paul -- "a pro-drug, apologize-to-Iran guy who could never win the nomination" -- finished such a strong second.

"Nobody is in that strong a position, and Paul can't win. So people are going to have hungry ears to listen to Perry," said Dowd, who was Bush's pollster and a top advisor in the 2000 and 2004 campaigns."

the spin starts NOW!

Wasn't Bachmann born in Iowa?

Yeap, first 12 years of her life in Iowa. Bachmann said, "Everything she's learned in life, was in Iowa."

 

[kill the banks]

I guess if all is fair this gives the nod to Randy Travis for her VP selection

 

[Aratus]

two pages away from 200 pages ^if she wins the nod she might^

 

[wgadget]

wasn't bachmann born in iowa?

Sorry, I've heard all from Perry I care to hear.
