Ames Wrap Up
August 12th, 2007 by JonNot exactly surprising news, but I thought it apt to mention that Mitt has won the Ames Straw Poll by pulling in about 32% of the votes cast. There are a few ways to spin the Ames results – and the MSM will give you all of them.Â
Here’s the bottom line – Mitt did well. Better than expected actually. Its important to remember that – outside of opinion polls – Ames is the only contact the candidates will have between now and the Hawkeye Caucai sometime in early January. Yes, Ames is a non-binding event, but everything between now and January is just talk.Â
So, other than Mitt, congratulations are due to Mike Huckabee for a good second place finish. He’ll makes somebody’s short list in the Veepstakes.Â
Memo to Cheap Shot Sam Brownback: Third place doesn’t even count in horseshoes or hand grenades. So much for your upset.Â
And, the field bids farewell to Tommy Thompson.Â
Thank you, and good night.

When Romney said his boys were doing their patriotic duty helping him get elected I couldn’t help but think, this is, and probably will be for some time, a poor boys war. I live in a upper middle class suburb and know of no neighbors in the military but I see the Wal-Mart workers sons pictures in the store. I’m sure I’m not the only one thinking this.

“Mr Romney said the senator had disappointed the American people, adding that his conduct reminded him of former President Bill Clinton’s affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.”
This is the lowest blow that Gov. Romney your “candidate” for President of the United States can give to disrespect a former president.
Frankly, it is assumed that Mr. Romney will not be president and is directing his venum to belittle Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Your statement is not only shameful towards president Clinton and the former First Lady, but is unwarranted and lacks any form of decorum. This is just an attempt to magnify your campaign in order to win the presidency.
Senator Craig’s action has nothing to do with Sen. Clinton.
You do not deserve my vote Governor, your statement is disgusting to say the least
