Michelle Bachman wins Iowa presidential straw poll
Michelle Bachmann speaks at the Iowa straw poll (13 Aug 2011)




Michelle Bachmann is running on a platform of social conservatism

US Republican Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann has won a key pre-election campaign poll in the state of Iowa.

The Iowa straw poll held in Ames attracted about 17,000 voters and is considered the first big test of the 2012 presidential race.

Mrs Bachmann, an Iowa-born social conservative, narrowly beat her rival Ron Paul in the non-binding contest.

The vote was held on the same day Texas Governor Rick Perry announced his intention to run for the presidency.

It comes five months before the first official Iowa primaries in the race for the White House.

Leading Republican candidate Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney did not take part in the contest. Neither did newly declared Mr Perry nor former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, who has yet to announce whether she plans to run.

Before the vote took place, Mrs Bachmann told her supporters: "We are going to make Barack Obama a one-term president."

Republican idea of a good indication of what the future will bring.

1. Bus a lot of evangelica­l and conservati­ve republican­s to the middle of Iowa.
2. Make each and every one of them pay to enter and vote in the straw poll
3. Allow each of the candidates to bribe the voters with music, food and hospitalit­y.
4. Declare a winner and proclaim that this will be the harbinger of more great times ahead.
5. Send everyone home.

And don't look back.

The dummer it gets the more popular it seems to become. Can't believe that this woman actually got elected to anything outside her local parish. Then we learn that she's already a senator - on a mission from Gadd...

No wonder God can't trust in Amercia anymore.

Congratulations to the Republican Party for voting for a good conservative Christian woman!  This country is going to get some religion whether it wants it or not.

What a bunch of loons the Republican Party has generated into. Both Bachman and Perry are religious zealots and the only alternative is Romney, Mr. Bland. Even with the bad ecnonomy, Obama should win in a walk.

All she is is eye candy of the Republicans.

The Bilderbergers already have Rick Perry (s)elected.
