Bachmann only charged $30. She will probably win.

Schmitt Romney, the proposed front runner received 567

I'm sorry that is childish and uncalled for.
I meant Obama Light received 567 total votes.

only 152 - I'm very happy

They say most of the folks at Paul's tent were 30 years
younger than everyone else. Remember, that's
what put Obama over the top - the young vote.

Yes -- a statistical tie. However. 16,000 people voted. I hope they aren't NOT votes that went to Ron Paul because all the other numbers were REALLY LOW. Cain only got 1500, Romney got less than that. They didn't show Ron Paul's numbers on CNN that I was watching when they announced. Seems kind of fishy to me.

Anyway, it was interesting to see that the so-called FRONT-RUNNER Mitt Romney didn't even get 600 votes.

This is good. I am rooting for MB. She's the best candidate who can defeat the GOP and will help Obama take another four years LMAO

Go Michelle!

I am happy too! They didn't go with a non-total nut.

I'm watching CNN and they didn't initially show Ron Pauls votes either.
They announced Bachmann as the winner then started showing the other candidates votes. They went through them at least twice before I noticed Ron Pauls and I was watching closely.

Don't want to make unfounded accusations but it was kinda weird.
