Clay County GOP chairwoman Kirstine Thiessen confirmed that Perry won the straw poll vote the other night, which was held among those on hand for a planned meeting. The county, I'm told, is in Rep. Steve King's district, and abuts Minnesota.
Of the 59 votes cast, Perry won with 15, followed by Michele Bachmann with 9, Thiessen said. Rick Santorum got eight, Ron Paul got 6, Hermain Cain got 5, Thaddeus McCotter got four, and tied with Tim Pawlenty and Mitt Romney for that number. Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin each got two votes.
It's not quite a representative sample of the larger Iowa electorate, but it is worth noting.

Typing fast typo correction of my last post. Palin said she ‘doesn’t’ need a title to help.
Thanks, I’ll check it out.
I'm one of those Texans. Yes, I'll vote for Perry if he gets the nomination.
But I think we can do better than Perry and I'm going to keep hoping we do until we have an official nominee.
Can Rick and Sarah win it all? You betcha!
59 votes...is that all...LOL! Wow, what waste of time.
Bump!!
“You are on your way to do just that: reelecting Obama, because no electable Republican is good enough for you.”
Well stated.
Palin and Perry are like peas in a pod politically speaking. I think it is very telling that we have Palin fans dissing the solid conservative Bachmann for her (minor) imperfections, and now dissing Perry for his.
When Perry was challenged in the Gov primary by Senator KBH, Palin came to ENDORSE PERRY.

Here is a prediction: PALIN WILL ENDORSE PERRY BY THE END OF THIS YEAR.
Perry wouldnt run if she was running. And Palin is NOT making the moves a candidate would make (lining up fundraisers and consultants and an organization). Palin fans might reconsider bashing the candidate Palin may someday endorse.
Straw poll are ALWAYS sold to the highest bidder....looks like Myth has competition...
Wow! You stopped after testing it?! How very clever and original of you... most people would still be sitting there, hitting the "return" button.
Very interesting. I tried voting a second time for Palin, and the "Results" screen came up saying (and I quote)"Thank you, we have already counted your vote."
How very nice of her to make a special website just for your url!!! You must be really special, huh?
Thanks for cluing all of us in...
By the way, I just went and tried it again. Here's what I got:
Thank you, we have already counted your vote.
Gov Rick Perry 34.16% (1,204 votes)
Gov Sarah Palin 65.84% (2,321 votes)
Total Votes: 3,525

Yeah, they probably just changed the thing overnight. NO WAY you'd lie about something like that, just because you hate Palin, huh? You're no liar, are you?
8^D
Palin backing him for Governor of Texas is not Palin backing him for Prez, Slowtooth.
Sarah said just a couple days ago that there is nobody, in either the field of those already announced, or the cluster currently being discussed as potential candidates (that includes Perriwinkle, Slowtooth) whose candidacy would prevent her throwing her hat in the ring.
Not to mention which, our preferred candidate has taken so much abuse over the past 2-or-3 years, we owe it to any potential "playuh" to see if they (and their blatting screechers) can take the heat.
We sure know our gal can.
;^\
Palin isnt running.
If she were, she would have announced by now.
Does that also mean that Perry isn’t running since he hasn’t announced by now?....
Just checking....
Perry has not considered running until recently, and since then he has been actively engaged in assessing his chances, meeting with prominent Republicans.
Sarah has been “running” ever since Obama was elected, there is no reason for her to not have announced, if she was really running. The only reason for the delay, is because she doesn’t want to announce that she is NOT running.

“prominent Republicans”
And they are who exactly? Care to name them?
Since when did "Greta Van Susteren Fans" become "America"?
Since Sarah Palin is not comforatable being interviewed by anybody except Greta Van Susteren and Sean Hannity, who toss her cream puff pitches, it stands to reason that the Sarah Palin Fan Club gravitates to Greta's online polls and Sean's online polls.
What will be the next breaking news?
The readers of the Lady Gaga Fan Club page want Lady Gaga to run for President?
You know what "America" does NOT want?
America does NOT want Sarah Palin as President of the United States.
FOX News Poll (February 7-9, 2011)
Question 3: I am going to read you a list of names. Tell me if you think that person would make a good President or not.
Sarah Palin:
.................YES.........NO.......DK.....Never heard of
ALL...........23%.......72%.........4%.......1%
Dem ...........7%........87%........5%.......1%
Rep ...........40%.......56%.......3%.......1%
Ind ...........25%........69%.......3%.......1%
Not quite my choice of words, but I concur with the general idea. Or does that mean I have Perry DS?
You may want another RINO presidential candidate, but many of us do not. If that makes us "deranged," so be it.
Yeah, they probably just changed the thing overnight. NO WAY you’d lie about something like that, just because you hate Palin, huh? You’re no liar, are you? ............................................ What do I have to gain by lying about what occured? The damn page popped up on me 3x and I voted on each one. There was no thank you on the page, just an open “o” so I marked it to see what it would do, it came back with the result. So I figured I wonder if I could do it again, the next pop up had the “o” again so I again marked it. Again the result, next another pop up? By that time I figured, hey, what gives, you can keep on voting, hence its an unreliable BS Poll. No need to lie, just reported what occured. I reported, you decided I lied without knowing the facts, you must be a Democrat. I hate Palin, you can see that in my tag line. Yup, Its been there for about a month, so I guess I hate her because you think I’m lying? Geeeez.
Sooo... that's who you feel is watching FOX News now... the Democrats?
The Palin fanatics want Palin because they believe in her just like they believed in Christine O'Donnell.
The Palin fanatics flock to GretaWire because Greta and Sean are Sarah Palin's favorite cream puff pitchers. That is where you go to see Sarah interviewed because Sarah is afraid of all other interviwers.
The Democrats want Palin because it would guarantee the reelection of Barack Hussein Obama.
If you want to know what liberals think of Sarah Palin, you should "Know your enemy" and find out what liberals write about Sarah Palin when they write for other liberals.
Did you get what liberals say to other liberal about a Sarah Palin run?
" ..... with Democrats rejoicing, ....."
In the eyes of anybody with an I.Q. above room temperature, Gargantua, you are making a real idiot of yourself lecturing to Clairity about "logic".
The GretaWire poll is a "Self-Selection Bias" survey where the questioner limits his question to a very specific group of self-selected people, in this case, Greta viewers who love Greta because Greta loves Sarah.
By definition, a "Self-Selection Bias" survey is automatically invalid because it looks only at people brought together by a common bond and excludes all others without that bond.
Thus, in a "Self-Selection Bias" survey of the Michael Moore web page, 90% of all responders will believe that the U.S. is the most evil country on Earth.
Thus, in a "Self-Selection Bias" survey of the Lady Gaga Fan Club web page, 99% of all responders will believe that Lady Gaga is the greatest singer that ever lived.
Thus, in a "Self-Selection Bias" survey of the New York Jets Fan Club web page, 85% of all responders will believe that the New York Jets will win the next Super Bowl.
Thus, in a "Self-Selection Bias" survey of the Weight Watcher's web page, 100% of all responders will be fat.
Do you understand now?
A Self-Selection Bias survey of Greta fans does NOT equate with all of "America".
A Self-Selection Bias survey of Michael Moore fans does NOT equate with all of "America".
A basic fund of knowledge is not one of your strengths, Gargantua.
I'm not asking you. I am flat out telling you.
