It's the "live free or die" state, right? Well, anyone surprised that the GOP presidential candidates haven't been asked about the New Hampshire couple that has been holed up for six months in a standoff with the feds over a tax evasion conviction. They stopped paying taxes in '96 and were convicted of tax evasion and now are refusing to serve out a five-year prison sentence. "Government and law officials have cut off power, Internet, house phone, cellphone, television and mail service to the couple's 110-acre compound. But their house is equipped with solar panels, a watchtower, a satellite dish and a stockpile of food."
Iowa GOP officials announced yesterday that they expect turnout for next month's straw poll to draw more folks than the one in '99 did, despite the fact that three of the four major candidates are not competing. The party estimates 38,000 Republicans will attend the Ames straw poll.
