Iowa Poll: Romney at 35%; No Other Candidate In Double-Digits

[rich34]

The WMUR poll last month had him at 39%:

Now Romney probably does have much more support here than in Iowa, but are we to really believe that someone like Bobby Jindal from the deep south is literally within the margin of error and only two points behind Rand? Come on!! Then add Bush to the mix and claim he's only 1 point behind Rand? BS again. The media is starting early by using these bogus polls to influence the ignorant people into supporting any other candidate but Paul. Because say Romney doesn't run, what this does is cause all those who thought he was going to run have to revaluate just who they will support. And by that time I'm sure they'll be hitting Rand with every bit of dirt they can throw at him causing people to go every direction possible. The key imo, is Ron/Rand's true hardcore supporters have to remain united and preserve. To those that followed the treatment of Ron the last two elections especially the last one leading up to the Iowa vote we should know their tactics in our sleep. This is just that, a tactic meant to disperse support to anyone but Paul. The hardcore have to remain united and push through their BS and continue doing the best they can educating their fellow citizens. Obviously with the last few polls showing Paul having the best chance out of all the candidates at sweeping both Iowa and NH it's no surprise they're starting here with these two states for fear that if Rand does indeed pull off a sweep it very well could be all over, but the crying for those that do not support Rand. In their eyes, this CANNOT happen. Hence "hey lets pull out the same type of poll that duped the people into believing that Santorum was really surging" before he was really surging. Once that fake ass CNN poll convinced the people that Santorum was actually "surging" they created an artificial bandwagon affect. Don't fall for it folks, yes it's possible for them to do this because it's been done time and time again, but we must see it and recognize and expect it when it comes. This is one of them. Rand is and will do great.

If this is accurate at all, I only have one question:

What the $#@! is wrong with these people?

8 years of having the party constantly kicked in the nuts because of neocon corruption and they're still overwhelmingly attached to this empty establishment puppet? There's no stronger candidate for 'more of the same' than Mitt Goddamned Romney.

Never underestimate the Republican Party's ability to pull defeat from the jaws of victory.

Setting up the reluctant candidate storyline...what a joke...

Romney is running and the 2016 GOP presidential nomination will come down to Rand or Romney.

And a Dr. Paul will again take the delegates from Iowa - in the end anyway, after all the polls and caucuses and bullsheeeet-
at the GOP National Convention at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland in June 2016.

but it was a ruse to have the media claim a Romney/Santorum "win" in Iowa in January 2012 when that "effed up" caucus process in Iowa first gets reported in the media.

So, in the end the Iowa delegation at the GOP Convention in Tampa were all it's votes for Ron Paul.

Romney raped Iowa in the media, made it a meaningless caucus state -
but used the glam of the media to parlay it into real primary wins later with committed delegates in other states.

We'll see if the Rand campaign can do the same in Iowa as his Dad did - and get the caucus delegates on the first ballot
for this 2016 election cycle at Cleveland,Ohio.





but I wonder if Iowa is a bellweather or just a waste of time and money.

Ground forces for Rand should start in Ohio . . . jus' sayin'

Maybe a Rand 2016 campaign song or two . . . for O-hi-O




.
Oh, and $#@! the Romney-bots

Now Romney probably does have much more support here than in Iowa, . . .

Iowa, the state that Dr. Ron Paul (R-TX) won all the delegates at the National Convention in Tampa in 2012.

[extortion17]

That's a bull$#@! poll; it forms a leading question, which implies a winner.

"The perfect "balanced" sample" . . . the Romney-bots are real good at creating bull-sheeeet out of nothing, statistically.

So are Americans ready for a Mormon in the White House ? NO
as the last question of the Romney-bot poll for heavily Catholic eastern Iowa which opposes
the Massachusetts Flipper

Can Romney win Iowa ? Maybe
Can Romney win Ohio ? NO
Can Rand win Ohio ? YES

This just makes me sick. It's looking more and more likely that he's going to run. Republican voters are just so stupid.

When other people actually become candidates in about 6 months, there won't be polls like this. Those voters aren't stupid, they just don't see any other real choice, because there isn't one.

[idiom]

Its Ryan versus Rand. All other gyrations are there to shift numbers from Rand to Ryan, or to secure VP spots, cabinet spots, cushy posts, or sell books.
