I didn't see a live thread for the Iowa Straw Poll, so I figured I would start one in case anyone else is watching and wants to comment.

Gathering of the Good Guys.

Laura Ingraham is hosting/moderating.
Mitt Romney has already spoken and Tom Tancredo is up now.

"In a Tancredo administration we will have one rule of engagement: 'We win. You lose.' "

[Ken522]

Tom Tancredo - Rules of Engagement - “We win, you loose!”

[JerseyDvl]

The crowd really loves Tancredo! He is throwing them the red meat and they are eating it up.
This is the chance for him or Hunter to shine and pass by John McLame.

What channel is this being broadcasted on? Most news channels are in commercials and I’d like to tune in.

Found it about 10 seconds before you replied. Thanks for the help, though!

I went over to the DUmp so nobody else would have to.
The DUmmies are following along as well. It is the usual incoherent, Anti-America, BDS-driven dialogue we have all come to laugh at.

Thanks for the thread. I don’t have cable but am watching it on CSPAN. Just saw Laura The Great.

[fkabuckeyesrule]

OK I just decided I am voting for Ron Cox. LOL!

[fkabuckeyesrule]

Of course I’ll vote for anyone who has a Shania Twain tune for his campaign song. Come to think of it John Edwards could use Man I Feel Like A Woman. LOL!

[LdSentinal]

Of course the DU is following this straw poll. They’re the dreck that’s spamming the online polls for Ron Paul.

****What channel is this being broadcasted on? Most news channels are in commercials and I’d like to tune in.****

CSPAN.

[JerseyDvl]

Ron Cox...LOL! He sounds like another Ron Paul.
I am glad a few people have come to post while watching, I thought I was the only person inside today. :)

I know, he talks just like them. That is why I amended my tagline to include him.

I love Laura myself and start everyday with her.
The show is becoming a little juvenile at times with Matt and AJ always chiming in. Bo Snerdley they are not.
But, she looks great and I am so happy that she is healthy.
