Iowa Republicans and Iowa Democrats are both holding their State Conventions at the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines. If attendance numbers mean anything, Iowa Democrats are in big trouble.

The photo above was taken during the remarks of Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick who is keynoting the Democrat Convention.

The photo below is of the Republican convention during a debate on the proposed rules that govern the convention.

If only The ONE could have made it, then the building would have been declared abandoned property.

I kind of know how they feel; There is only once choice and it's not my choice.

Oh dear Lord, this combined with those twitter pix of the “anti-Romney bus tour” or whatever the heck it is, give me heart flutters.

No, I don’t LOVE Romney, but I do HATE Obama that much!

So long, farewell, oh forget it I can’t spell it, adios, hit the road jack, don’t let the WH door hit you as you exit by the portico, etc., etc, etc.

You know what I mean when I say GET OUT!!!!

The Democratic room is a much smaller room as well, more like an assembly hall than convention room.

The Paulistas were packing the Iowa caucus.

Wait and see what happens at the convention. It could get uglier than Mittens might want it.

Ross Perot, uh I mean Ron Paul plans to help Obama get re-elected by splitting the vote.

But Perot managed to con double digits of idiots to vote for him (really voting for Clinton). I doubt Paul can even make it to single digits.

As a former Iowan, transplanted in Ohio, I found these pictures comforting!!

Well the down side is the Paulista’s took over the convention; and control our state's delagates going to the national convention.
