Donald Trump’s birther crusade could be a boon in Iowa, and “Romneycare” could dog the former Massachusetts governor in the first-in-the-nation caucus, a new poll shows.
A whopping 48 percent of Iowa Republicans said they don’t believe that Obama was born in the United States, according to the automated survey by Democratic firm Public Policy Polling out Tuesday. Another 26 percent said they weren’t sure whether or not the president was born in America as the Constitution requires to be eligible to serve in the nation’s highest office.

“Mike Huckabee is currently leading in the state”
Apparently, 27% of Iowa Republicans are Idiots Out Walking Around.
Huckabee will grant amnesy sooo fast your head will spin. Cannot believe folks do not get it yet!
