Straw Poll Roundup: Man Down, Man Down!
Talking of quitters... We've now got a second candidate out of the Republican presidential race. Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore was the first to go (he dropped out in mid-July) and yesterday Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson followed him.
Thompson had more or less wagered everything on Iowa, and after finishing sixth in Saturday's straw poll he decided to call it quits. Here are the full results of the straw poll, which I remind you, aren't worth much. But nevertheless, take a good look at John McCain's numbers. He didn't campaign in the poll (nor did Giuliani or Fred Thompson), but heavens to Betsy:
- Mitt Romney 32% (bought his victory)
- Mike Huckabee 18% (he's funny!)
- Sam Brownback 15%
- Tom Tancredo 14%
- Ron Paul 9%
- Tommy Thompson 7% (see ya!)
- Fred Thompson 1% (now the lone Thompson)
- Rudy Giuliani 1%
- Duncan Hunter 1%
- John McCain <1% (101 of 14,302 votes cast)
- John Cox <1%

68%, the rest who did not go for Mitt were of the Ron Paul, Tancredo types. In otherwords, Mitt is way to liberal for the GOP base. Tancredo or Paul is in the future.
68% did not vote for Bush in 1999. He won Iowa and the election.
Romney will decimate the Clinton machine.
And I have to ask..
How are the 2 bible boys who took 2nd and 3rd "Paul, Tancredo Types" as you say? They are the opposite of those types.
Nate, They are not Mormoms. The "Bible Boys" and Paul and Tom are the same under the surface. Jonny boy will do what he can so your boy Mitt does not get it.
Nate, just get use to having another divisive Clinton in the White House again. On the bright side, she will help the Demonkats to lose control of the Senate and the House, so cheer up.
