That's pretty hilarious coming from someone who supports the President who didn't even bother to get Congress' approval before attacking Libya.v-rog wrote:Let me see...Vote Obama and keep Mr Holder or potentially get a Bachmann (or) Perry type candidate...and enter another war and commit another 100K of troops- I guess Iran would be next
Yep, 4 more years of Obama with Mr. Holder is the better option. (IMHO)

Re: IOWA says YES to Bachmann
Before you guys get too carried away, this was a straw poll. The caucuses come later. The results of those could be dramatically different.
Here's the 2008 Iowa straw poll results:
Mitt Romney: 4,516 / 31.5%
Mike Huckabee: 2,587 / 18.1%
Sam Brownback: 2,192 / 15.3%
Tom Tancredo: 1,961 / 13.7%
Ron Paul: 1,305 / 9.1%
Tommy Thompson: 1,039 / 7.3%
Fred Thompson: 203 / 1.4%
Rudy Giuliani: 183 / 1.3%
Duncan Hunter: 174 / 1.2%
John McCain: 101 / 1.0%
John Cox: 41 / .1%
And here's the 2008 Iowa caucus results:
Mike Huckabee 40,841 34.4%
Mitt Romney 29,949 25.2
Fred D. Thompson 15,904 13.4
John McCain 15,559 13.1
Ron Paul 11,817 10.0
Rudolph W. Giuliani 4,097 3.5
Duncan Hunter 524 0.4
Tom Tancredo 5 0.0
You will note that the results of the caucus votes were dramatically different from the straw poll, that the eventual nominee was in fourth place and that Ron Paul's numbers hardly changed at all.
It's way too early to be making any sort of predictions, and the Iowa caucuses aren't much of an indicator of who the eventual nominee will be, much less the straw polls.
