Romney was not a write in. Perry was a write in.
Thank you for explaining the ‘nuances’. Really, I never understood their significance but never ‘investigated’ what they were all about and why.
Thanks again. (and yes WHOO HOOO!lol!)
Pawlenty and Santorum were something of s surprise (pleasant surprise in the latter case). The IA Straw Poll imo is a winnower, but really never establishes the ultimate winner.
Does anyone know the last winner of either the IA Straw Poll or IA caucuses who won the party nomination and went on to the White House? .
The Ron bots scare me!
what I don’t understand is who are these Paulbots? Their certainly not conservatives. And when you watch their behavior and actions, they act more like liberals.
If Sarah stays out and campaigns for Michelle instead... it’s all over for Seal Team Soetoro.
Then the jerk blamed the current situation on the US because we "installed the Shah of Iran".
Detestable little twerp.
It’s early so who knows what will happen but it appears Romney may have been the big loser today.
Only problem is that is factually incorrect. Romney was on the ballot. He was not a write in as is being claimed.. The Iowa GOP put him and Newt and Huntsman on the ballot.

“Bachman wins Iowa Straw Poll.”
God Bless Iowa.
Those stupid boxes are really annoying.
But he neither actively campaigned nor shipped in supporters like the other candidates die. Because the straw-poll means very little, anyway.
less total votes than a large single precinct in some congressional districts. Amazing how much stock the amount of folks it would take to fill a smaller than average basketball arena are given.
I wouldn’t bet on it . A hell of a lot can happen between now , and say next October . You can be sure that the Obama machine has plenty of tricks up their collective sleeve . Personally speaking I don’t see Bachmann getting the nod . One man’s opinion . There really is nobody in the Republican field that excites me , to be honest , although I’m seriously looking at Cain .
All that fuss for fewer than 17K votes ? And, really, with results no more dependable than an online poll. Would love to know how much $ and time was spent on each vote by candidate?
Obama has to have PA to win.Perry/Santorum?
Herman Cain ran in 2004 for the US Senate but lost. You are talking about John McCain, different persons, and different names
