I was going to look for that. Thanks!

If you think that tactic will work as a campaign strategy, go right ahead.

I don't care what they've done with their lives. If daddy wants to continue sending kids off to war, his kids should have to serve mandatory.

And I'm not a "leftist" either, friend. Nice try with the labels. I'm not surprised.

The Iowa caucuses are not indicative of anything, really. Remember, these voters are normally what you would call the base, as are primaries in general.

Last poll I saw, Romney was cleaning up Indies on obama, who has been bleeding them for over a year.
Obama is leading in most of the polls over Romney.

And Obama hasn't even begun campaigning or exposing Mitt "Flip Flop" Romney yet. And Rasumssen is a Republitard pollster.

Apparently Iowa Republicans want 4 more years of Obama, since there is precisely 0 chance that Rick the theocratic jingoist bigot Santorum or Mitt 'I make John Kerry look downright decisive and couldn't even beat old man McCain 3 years ago' will defeat him.

I've always said that the GOP has 2 choices this election cycle: Either go for the win with the candidate that can actually draw the independent and moderate vote (Paul) or put forth a sacrificial lamb that will lose, but hopefully not embarass them too badly come November. Looks like they're opting for the latter.

With Romney, it won't quite be a Reagan vs. Mondale pubstomping, but it'll be a lot closer to that than W v. Gore.

I'll take these numbers right now, especially since the campaign against obama and his glorious record hasn't even begun.

Too bad you can't prove a word of the above.
