Iowa presidential polls
I hate living in Iowa for the most part, but election stuff is electrifying. In the last week I have met both Bill Clinton and Mitt Romney (they love talking to college kids
), and in the last 6 months I've at least said "hi" to Ron Paul(had dinner with him), Hillary/Bill Clinton, Romney, Hunter, Thompson, Obama, and Beyonce Knowles.
Anyway, here are the latest numbers:
Huckabee: 29%
Romney: 24%
Giuliani: 13%
Thompson: 9%
Ron Paul: 7%
McCain: 7%
Tancredo: 6%
Hunter: 1%

Well, for me there seems to be only one logical response. I must turn to the Church and its sacred Tradition; I must listen humbly and be instructed.

Re: Iowa presidential polls
so...the only reason romney got 24%...was because people voted him in multiple times.
that's just pathetic.

Re: Iowa presidential polls
It's amazing what Chuck Norris can do.
"Years ago, I mean decades ago, I read a quote about politicians performing quid pro quo favors for campaign cash, and whether or not we could prove it. The guy who was quoted opined that it was difficult to determine. He noted that in many cases, the payoff might not take the form of votes on legislative action -- those might be detectable, and so are avoided -- but could take subtler forms, like the question that is never asked at a hearing.
The media's doing a terrific job of not asking questions it doesn't want to know the answer to. It doesn't ask these questions in bulk, and the great volume of questions it doesn't ask makes it cheap to not ask questions.
And it passes these savings on to you, the customer." Ace

Re: Iowa presidential polls
Iowa often does not bring the momentum New Hampshire and South Carolina do but it is significant nevertheless. A Huckabee victory may be significant there, or not. I hope it is but we will have to wait and see.

Re: Iowa presidential polls
Romney got a plan passed in Massachusetts to ensure health coverage for every state resident. What in the world has Huckabee done in Arkansas to boast about, other than being a conservative Chrstian... which apparently is an automatic winner for some people?
My problem with Romney is that he is distancing himself from all the stuff that got him in a Governorship in Massachusetts to begin with. He isn't merely flip-flopping, he is trying to disown a lot of what he said. Romney has a long way to go before gaining my support... oh... and I voted for Republican Governor William Weld for senate over Kerry, so none of that partisan garbage.
