The importance of Iowa. Then and now

This is the first time I have posted to the DP (Have only just worked it out)
An interesting vid I found on the Liberty Australia website that you might like.
Watching on from Australia is hard to do, but I am really hoping for a Ron Paul victory.Over the course of the last 12 months since discovering "The message" I have been researching the nomination process and trying to school people over how it all works (Ben Swann has been a good guide)
Good luck America!

lest we forget...
The official results for the Ames Iowa straw poll back in August... (clipped from here: http://articles.latimes.com/2011/aug/13/news/la-pn-straw-num... for educational purposes)
1. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (4823, 28.55%)
2. Congressman Ron Paul (4671, 27.65%)
3. Governor Tim Pawlenty (2293, 13.57%)
4. Senator Rick Santorum (1657, 9.81%)
5. Herman Cain (1456, 8.62%)
6. Governor Rick Perry (718, 3.62%) write-in
7. Governor Mitt Romney (567, 3.36%)
8. Speaker Newt Gingrich (385, 2.28%)
9. Governor Jon Huntsman (69, 0.41%)
10. Congressman Thad McCotter (35, 0.21%)
How dare those awful Ron Paul people think they should have any delegates in our humble state; it's clear we want Romney! Right?
:)
Gold....
and who is Thod McCotter?

I don't even know...
but 35 people voted for him. :)
Reflecting on the debauchery of Iowa
of the Iowa caucus 4 months later, makes me even more angry now then it did then. I couldn't believe the smear that went on at the time...reflecting on the ridiculousness now after its been over for a little while makes me want to viciously vomit.
I took particular notice to what Iowa's governor
had to say. And will vote accordingly.
Another great first post!
Awesome eye opening video.

This is a fantastic first post!!!
Absolutely...fantastic
And we're glad you're watching and that you're WITH us...
Sometimes I think people overseas are better judges of what's happening through our Media than some of the American people - who still fail to see the blatant bias.
Come back and visit with us again - soon...

I thought it was interesting
the change in the media when things didn't go as planned and unfortunatly Australias media takes it's lead stories from the US MSM.
There has been no mention that Ron Paul even exists, however there is support down here and I believe there is a movement starting at a very low level at the moment that will be interesting to be involved in over the next few years. The below website is the start of that movement.
Thanks for replying
