I entered the poll, but Santorum at 5%?! Wow.

[Mr. Morden]

I entered the poll, but Santorum at 5%?! Wow.

PPP had him at 5% in both of their last two Iowa polls, so it's really not so strange.  He's basically living in Iowa now, so 5% isn't really that big of an accomplishment.

Actually, both Cain and Romney have done very little campaigning there in the last two months, so maybe the key is to never campaign there.

Oh, you're right. Heck, I even entered those two polls, so I should know better.

Let's hope the anti-Romney real Republicans consolidate behind the only true conservative in this Race, Dr. Herman Cain, in the next few weeks.

Herman Cain, Doctor of Nine-ology, PhD.

Or they can rally behind the actual doctor, who is pro-life and is willing to make the tough cuts... Oh I forgot that you have to embrace big government, in order to be a conservative.

I forgive your forgetfulness. Just please don't let it happen again.

You mean the guy who may be pro-life for unborn children but thinks not having health insurance should be a death sentence?

[King]

If Cain and Romney don't get their act together and start kissing babies in Iowa, Paul might actually win the damn thing in Caucus apathy.

[Tender Branson]

About what I expected. I thought Cain would be ahead by about 5 though.

I didn't know "Random Audience Members #1-3" from that earlier debate were running for president.

If you talking about the good Doctor, he actually said that (A) government intervention FORCES people to get health insurance by driving up cost and making paying out of pocket prohibitively expensive (not to mention that HI isn't properly treated as insurance) and (B) Most doctors would never turn a patient away and would find a way to get a payment plan after doing their best to save the patient

Here is why Romney is still holding off on jumping into IA in a big way

That's not true. Perry/Now Cain type supporters in the crowd said yes. Paul said no. Why are you being so misleading? What do you have to gain from it? This is not a football game, where you can complain about a ref who actually made the right call without it hurting anything.

Ron Paul 12%

No pain, no gain.
