I love the misleading head line and reporting. NOT a GOP straw poll. Its a National Federation of Republican Assemblies Presidential Straw Poll. And and whopping 101 people voted.........

Iowa straw polls have a history of being grossly inaccurate.

You did not just say that.

I'm pretty sure he did... SEE!?!? It's right up there!

Technically he wrote it.... just sayin'

 

[Hawkeye]

Technically he wrote it.... just sayin'

Even more technically, he likely typed it, assuming he did not us some sort of speech-to-text software, and that "wrote" implies hand-written...

Just sayin'

Well, according to the poll taken Saturday, by the Des Moines (Iowa) Register newspaper....... Cain and Romney lead the pack; followed by Paul, Bachmann, Gingrich & Perry (tied).

First Read - Iowa Poll: Cain, Romney top field ahead of caucuses

Just sayin'........

As long as in a year from now we see Obama loses re-election!

I knew someone was going to say that...

My rebuttal? When was the last time you heard of an author "typing" a book...

Ha!

I dont think Perry or Romney would be much (if any) better than Obama

I agree. They wouldn't.

You guys do realize Windows 7 comes with speech recognition right? A person can compose entire books without every typing or writing... You hear me correct! You can just "SAY" stuff!

I didn't hear anything.


I think a Romney (or Perry?) nominee is an Obama victory.

Is that based on a poll you took of yourself

Was is statistically significant with a valid sample size? Did you ask yourself double blind questions to remove bias and confirm consistency? Are you using a multiple day rolling average to reconfirm validity?

Where is Iowa and I didn't know corn could vote

Based upon the fact I've called every election since Clinton, I'd say she is correct. I don't see either of them beating obama, first of all neither of them can call obama out without being labeled a hypocrite.

Unlike many on the right with delusions of grandeur over herman cain, he won't capture the black vote. Besdies once enough people go to his website, plug in their tax data and find out they pay more under the 9-9-9 plan... lol, let's just say he'll go down in flames. Cain is too easy to pick apart. Romney would have a better shot, and we've already established he can't win.

There's a saying I always remember.

"When voters have to choose between a Democrat and a Democrat, they usually prefer the Democrat."

So I would say you are right on the money. Not only that, but we should learn something from the 2008 nomination of John McCain. The Republicans' best hope is appealing to the growing number of totally fed-up independents and the liberty crowd.

This country might have a chance if we can get Ron Paul into the oval office.
