Fox News at 3:00 PM, now dissing the Iowa Caucus(inoculating against a Huckabee and Obama win?)
Fox News(Sheperd Smith and Carl Cameron) | January 2, 2008

Posted on 01/02/2008 12:08:43 PM PST by Dane

Watching Fox news and the lead at 3:00 PM EST, was a rant by Shepherd and Carl, saying how Iowa doesn't matter, as Roger Ailes and Fox News spent millions covering it.

I guess Roger & Co, at Fox will not like the results(Huckabee and Obama winning and getting momentum).

Roger Ailes and his friend Rush Limbaugh, are not amused, thus this little hissy fit.

Thanks. I need Freepers’ help. I need the posts done by the Freeper (I’m sorry I don’t remember the name) who concisely lists Freds positions on important issues. Thanks.

Then why have they spent millions of dollars and spent countless hours and days criss-crossing a state that doesn’t even have the topography to be considered fly-over country?

Me think. The Guilianni machine is lowering expectations. Bwaaahhaaa

A quick look at the results of the past Iowa Caucuses shows why Republican candidates know full well that Iowa is a very important factor in the race for party nomination.

The votes of Iowa caucus-goers have a damn good average in picking past candidates who were sling-shot on to win the Republican Party's nomination.

Republican Caucuses 8 elections, 6 winners a good winning percentage

2004- George W. Bush* (unopposed) 2000- George W. Bush* (41%) Steve Forbes (30%), Alan Keyes (14%), Gary Bauer (9%), John McCain (5%) and Orrin Hatch (1%) 1996- Bob Dole* (26%) Pat Buchanan (23%), Lamar Alexander (18%), Steve Forbes (10%), Phil Gramm (9%), Alan Keyes (7%), Richard Lugar (4%) and Maurice Taylor (1%) 1992- George H. W. Bush* (unopposed) 1988- Bob Dole (37%) Pat Robertson (25%), George H. W. Bush* (19%), Jack Kemp (11%) and Pete DuPont (7%) 1984- Ronald Reagan* (unopposed) 1980- George H. W. Bush (32%) Ronald Reagan* (30%), Howard Baker (15%), John Connally (9%), Phil Crane (7%), John B. Anderson (4%) and Bob Dole (2%) 1976- Gerald Ford* defeats Ronald Reagan (Numbers not available).

Well, lets see. Today Rush bashed McCain and Huckabee. He trashes McCain all the time. You would know if you listened but your an open borders Huck supporter and probably despise Rush because he single handedly exposed what was going on in the Senate with the amnesty bill and shot down your dream. Rush has put more effort into the Conservative movement that has fought against the Socialist/Dems than anyone living today. The only person I can think of to have as much impact is Newt and he came after Rush.

...and steamrolled through the rest of the nomination as a result.

Your choice of words. Another possible choice of words would be:

"...and struggled through the rest of the nomination in spite of his Iowa win."

It’s looking more and more as though Rush and Fox are testing their ability to sway conservatives. For what unknown reason, I can’t imagine.

Rush wants a Reagan conservative to win (i.e. Thompson) but FOX wants a neocon to win (i.e. Rudy).

On todays show he said there are no Reagan conservatives in the race. Then he corrected himself and said....rather cryptically "ah..that's not accurate their is one".

Someone should call and ask him who he was referring to. Inquiring minds want to know.

Not sure if either of these are what you were refering to, but perhaps they'll be of interest if not.

I am kind of wondering why everyone moved their cauceses and primaries up if the turnout is going to be less than 10%

Up on Drudge now:

...Limbaugh seemed to swipe at McCain, Huckabee and Rudy Giuliani, respectively, in responding to a caller about which candidate had true conservative bona fides.

"If our nominee is either not conservative and is pandering to the left trying to get some of their votes, or if our nominee is so afraid of his record that he’s relying on identity politics to get votes or if our nominee decides that the only way he can win is to go out and pick off some libs in the northeast and out in the west, it’s going to be a bloodbath," he predicted of the general election.

Rush: Huck 'not a conservative'

Must have really pi$$ed you off today when Rush talked about the REAL huckster on his show (today). Why don’t you people just join the dim party?
