Can anyone explain what the heck happened to Romney in Iowa? He was leading just a few weeks back.

If I recall, he is not participating in the Ames straw poll, which probably turned off the voters for the short term (just a guess). Plus, IMO, Romney has just been a placeholder as the leader until others got more visibility. Straight out name recognition. As he comes out with these left views on global warming, etc, I am sure that turned people off too.

I am shocked at the level of traction Bachmann has gotten since that NH debate. I am not expecting it to last, but if no one else steps up, she could actually win this thing...something I would have never predicted as a possible outcome. I like MB quite a bit, but as a sitting Representative, this has been quite a performance so far and I have been impressed.

He must be against ethanol subsidies. That's all those corn huskers care about come election time.

He never really was...it’s still way to early. These polls mean nothing. The only reason for Romney was name recognition from last time around.

Bachmann pulled out her gleeb stick and whupped him. She's taken another 4% from Romney with her last couple TV appearances, and pulled some Huckabee refugees ashore.

How *incredibly stupid* of her to sign that values pledge in Iowa... [/sarc]

How do we know he was leading a few weeks ago? How do we know Bachmann is leading now?

All the pollsters have an agenda! Tell me how 1 poll has MB up 13 and 2 have her up by only 3?

Gov Palin is not in the vast majority of them.

All pollsters come from either MSM or Rep Est, both groups want Bachmann to be out front.

And Btw the next time some one says to you...well the “very respected” Dem Register says this or that...just LOL

Why anybody in this day and age would believe any biased political poll is beyond me??? They all have an agenda, they know what result they are looking for before they do the poll.

I have been saying this here at FR before I ever heard of Sarah Palin.

Speaking of Gov Palinh, she will win the nomination and the Presidency, but she will never again lead in ANY poll..Trust me!!!
