“It’s a big boost for her,’’ Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor who won the caucuses in 2008, told reporters. “Whoever wins or comes in second, they get gas for their fire. Whoever doesn’t, they get water for theirs.

I agree Huck. Thanks!

Bethany Carson, who will turn 18 before the 2012 election, came to the poll with her parents and three siblings after hearing from nearly all of the candidates in the past week. She said she was drawn to Bachmann, Herman Cain, and Rick Santorum, but ultimately cast her vote for Paul because “he’s just right.’’
Nice.

[Bethany Carson quoted] Santorum. “The people in New Hampshire say Iowa picks the corn and New Hampshire picks the president, but Santorum says Iowa picks the field.’’

Santorum came in fourth.
:D

It's strange because Paul and Bachmann are given a 10% between them on Intrade right now.

Romney and Perry are over 60% together, and they have done squat.

Huntsman is somehow higher than Paul and Bachmann, barely and not combined.

Both Paul and Bahcmann are good pick ups right now.

It could be the wisdom of crowds saying, "The fix is in."

my fb status;

It was tough to lose first place to Randy Travis at the straw poll yesterday. I knew we should have tried to get Willie Nelson! ;)
