Nice spin, but you’re wrong.
Read #171 above.

Fred and Rudy have no infrastructure in Iowa. McCain has next to none.
Just because their names were on the ballot, it doesn’t mean they were competing. The straw poll is a show of organization and paid activists. It proves a candidate’s GOTV machine, nothing more.

Saying Fred is “on the airwaves as well” is disingenuous.
Having a part in a TV show is not the same thing as running a political campaign.

Not once do you say issues matter...that's the spin. First you say the poll is the end-all be all, then make excuses for FRed and Rudy, nice try.

FRedbots are certainly expending alot of energy on us "1%-ers".
