We are at war in two theaters, a social activist preacher does not a wartime President make.

400 votes separate the two...McCain ignores Iowa and matches Thompson’s “all-in” strategy...what in the world is going on in Iowa?

Not to mention Wyoming’s caucus on Saturday and a debate on Sunday going into NH. Fred can do well.

That’s what the left and the MSM would like for everyone to believe. That’s why you’ve got two candidates being touted by the MSM who fit every negative stereotype of the GOP. Rather sad, IMHO.

"I’m not voting Libertarian, I’m not voting at all if Huckabee or McCain are nominated. I’ll go further than that and switch my registration to independent."

That sounds like a good plan.

Here it is:

http://www.townhall.com/blog/g/13a3122e-dfd6-4d8a-81a3-bc8c6e11f550

(snip)
“I overheard Rollins’ conversation while dining in a restaurant called Winston’s located close to Huckabee’s Iowa headquarters and took notes on my computer. Below is a compilation of what I heard:

-He distinctly talked about going negative in South Carolina and told someone on the phone to “put some good in there if you have to, with the bad. Do what you gotta do.”

-Rollins let the f-bomb fly twice and told his blonde female dining companion a joke about flying the Confederate flag in the South Carolina state capitol.

-Rollins indicated several times their campaign was the victim of “dirty tricks” and that they were being unfairly outspent.

-Rollins also criticized another candidate as believing the Presidency was “their birthright.”

-Rollins made a phone call to Lou Dobbs and said he would ready to have drinks with him after Iowa to talk about Hillary. There also was a reference to Rollins’ recent comments about wanting to knock Romney’s teeth out, as Rollins told Dobbs “they are all porcelain.”

-Rollins also called Andrea Mitchell and predicted Obama would take Iowa tonight. He called Mitchell “sweetie” several times.

-Rollins believes Rudy Giuliani is “done,” “has no money,” and was “hurt terribly by those police cruises with his girlfriends.”

-Rollins called said Fred Thompson was “as disgrace as a candidate. Fred has been a friend a long time, but has never converted a single vote. No one is taking him seriously.”

-Rollins indicated he feels good about Iowa and that “all the sales are made, the customers just have to show up.”

-Rollins ate a tuna melt and carrot cake. His female companion picked “marbled rye” bread.

Stay tuned to the Townhall blog for continuing coverage of the Iowa Caucus tonight and Friday.

Recent sighting of politicians and media fleeing Iowa, never to be seen again until January, 2012:

If there's one shining light in all of this tonight, it's the satisfaction of seeing The Borg Queen getting her fat, dinpled ass handed to her by a jug-eared neophyte. That oughta put a little tarnish on her coronation crown. LMAO :-)

As much as it pains me to admit this, I kinda feel sorry for The Bent One right now. That pig is gonna be impossible to be in the same room with for a while.

Nah. He deserves it. :-)

Huckster,
When you say, “...tax reforming Governor...”, do you mean
one who increases taxes?

I seem to recall that Charlie Rangle wants to “reform” taxes also!

I guess that the “Oprah” factor really did work for Barack in Iowa...

Oprah is the most overrated person in American History... Can ANYONE here list her accomplishments and explain her popularity????? Anyone???? Anyone????

Also, I have no idea where all these McCain people came from.

He only made a few appearances and nobody in my circles were even talking about him.

Oh Eric..where are THE BOYS? Can't wait for Nannyt Huckster to introduce them to the Nation. Who knows, maybe they've had bypass surgery, cuz they sure as hell didn't read his book!

And the Dems have a lady on talking about being a breast cancer survivor. She’s gone now - oh I see they’re debating resolutions to put before their Democratic Platform Cttee. It really does resemble a socialist collective...now some guy is talking about his blood pressure...you can’t make this stuff up.

After listening to Hillary screaming I can understand Bill a little bit better. Not excusing anything he did in the oval office by using an intern as a humidor for his cigar...just saying I understand it a little bit better.

orgasmic that a black man won Iowa

That’s what I was thinking. No matter whether you agree or disagree with him, ya have to give him credit. A very impressive showing.

It is the super fat son who killed a dog in ‘98 and was arrested in April for bringing a gun aboard a plane
