Bachmann Wins Ames Straw Poll With 29% Of Vote, Ron Paul Takes Second With 28%
The Ames Straw vote results out of Iowa are in, and Michelle Bachmann appears to have won with 29% of the votes, or 4,823 of the 16,892 votes cast. Bernanke nemesis Ron Paul placed second, just 150 votes behind Bachmann, at 4,671, or taking down 28% of the total. For those stupefied by this result, a source on the ground informs us that Bachmann proceeded to hand out 6000 free tickets at $30 each with a mandatory registration at her booth to gain concert entrance. Furthermore, final results were probably tabulated by the BLS. As for other frontrunners, Pawlenty came in a distant third with 14% or 2,293 of the votes. The Hill has more: "A House member has never finished in the top two; extraordinarily, two House lawmakers finished nearly neck-and-neck toward the top. Bachmann is the first woman to ever win the straw poll. "We’re very excited," said Alice Steward, a spokesman for Bachmann. "it’s a very emotional night for her, she’s excited and thankful all the hard work of the supporters and volunteers paid off...Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) won about 10 percent, pizza magnate Herman Cain finished at about nine percent, and Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-Mich.) drew just 35 total votes. Murmurs of huge crowds at Waterloo native's splay on the campus of Iowa State University persisted throughout the day, suggesting that momentum was with — and never waned — from Bachmann's campaign." Rounding off the field were Santorum with 10% of the vote, Herman Cain with 9%, write ins Perry and Romney with 4% and 3%, respectively, and Gingrich getting 2%. We are not quite sure if this is the cue to laugh or cry. Our money is on the latter.
More from The Hill:
A rousing late-day speech that stressed social conservative credentials and Bachmann's ties to the Hawkeye State culminated with Bachmann beckoning undecided voters to her tent, which boasted air conditioning, seating, and performances by country star Randy Travis.
"Join me, I'm heading over to the voting booth right now," she said. "Come with me now."
Pawlenty's failure to finish in the top spot raises new questions about the core health of his campaign. The former Minnesota governor has failed to raise his poll numbers outside the single digits, and had poured most of his remaining resources into the straw poll, where he hoped a victory would infuse his campaign with new momentum.
"We made progress in moving from the back of the pack into a competitive position for the caucuses, but we have a lot more work to do," Pawlenty said in a statement. "This is a long process to restore America -- we are just beginning and I'm looking forward to a great campaign."
Pawlenty had set expectations at a finish somewhere in the top-tier; he's said repeatedly that a first-place finish wasn't essential. But even Pawlenty acknowledged Friday that a disappointing finish would force him to "reassess" his campaign, which has set itself up as more of a traditional, nationally-oriented campaign.
As for Paul...
Paul's showing caps off an effort of almost five years, dating back to his first bid for the Republican nomination way back in 2007, when he started to assemble the vast grassroots organization that propelled him to victory in today's straw poll.
He made a midday speech to straw poll participants that was heavy on playing up the Texas congressman's opposition to abortion rights; he also emphasized his opposition to the war in Iraq and criticism of U.S. monetary policy — views that tend to place him outside of the Republican mainstream.
Paul's finish Ames makes Paul's candidacy look less like a longshot, and more like a realistic possibility. The straw poll is a good, if imperfect, indicator of Republicans choice to win next February's caucuses, and Paul's finish on Saturday makes it seem increasingly plausible that he could win those contests.
Of course, if Paul were to eventually become president, we would advise him to not come within 100 miles of any school book depositories. Also to avoid prepared food, theaters, public speeches, pope mobiles (in fact any form of transportation that goes over 15 mph), to run like the wind from any and all hot tubs, jacuzzis, swimming pools, and baths, and in general to conduct his long overdue gold standard policy from a bunker several miles underground if possible.
Alas, this may all be just a tad optimistic.

I just threw up in mouth a little bit.

Yep. And check out the guy looking on in the background. Looks entirely like a bad porno flick.
not related, but anybody see this ..

best pic ever...
Tyler, good advice. I just happened to watch a John Lennon documentary. Not that I am comparing the two you f-ing wierdos.
so the IRS-revenue-collecting, torture-endorsing, Palin-wannabe beat the Honorable Dr. Paul.
Ummm.. sure.
All that aside, I envy that corn-dog
She had two more corn dogs that were not shown in the picture.
Took me a sec, but that was laugh out loud funny.
I'm so dumb, I had to think about it too. Sprayed the monitor after i got it i'm afraid. Good one
I think that in "the business," it's referred to as Air Tight.
News Flash: Bachmann takes huge Koch
donation.
By the color of it I'd say it's more a Cain dog.
She's from Iowa, that's all you need to know.
Didn't she grow up in the same town as The Duke? Oh, wait, it was John Wayne Gacy. Oops.
She did give out 6000 free tickets to a concert. She came in with 4,823. 1177 people either cheated, lied or threw away the tickets. Love America.
"She did give out 6000 free tickets to a concert."
Same tactic, different candidate.
Obama is well known to piggyback on "events"...especially concerts.
University of Oregon was one...his Berlin speech was another and the most notable as most didn't understand a word he said (they were German and drunk/high afterall)...trying to be the new JFK or sumpin and winds up being a pretentious Erkel...lol.
I'm betting they speak better English even after kiffen ein spliffen than you speak German sober.
I bet I could understand them better after I rauchen einen joint or two...then we could all go for a corn dog.
Don't forget her migraine headaches that put her out of action on a weekly basis, aided by a handful of pain pills. Exactly what you want from the Commander in Chief...
From the looks of that picture she didn't have a headache today! Unlike the perpetual one my wife has!
Paint your corndog brown. Your wife's headache will probably go away.
Maybe she's just been running short on oxygen for obvious reasons.
best pic of a politician doing what they do best...ever
Astounding that she would put herself in that situation for this picture to have been taken. All managers of her campaign team should be fired for negligence in not protecting their client.
They probably set it up, she is everywhere now,
It will be a fine development if menopausal moodswings gain cotroll of the White house and the nuke button,but it can't be any worse than Obama.
Perhaps this is just a statement that "menopause doesn't have to sideline a girl, ya know!"
After that she went over to the stand that sells sweet corn by the ear. Those pictures will be released later tonight in a pay-per-view video.
brrrrit brrrrit brrrrit brrrrit brrrrit brrrrrrrrrrrrrrit
i just told my gf the same thing...fuckin amateurs...hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon... with nail polish...these fucking amateurs...
I bet that long stick in the mouth iz Wallstret 1 . Goldy and other ponzy scamer fear crazy Ron might win over thier pets. So just start runing the stock, print false unemployment under 6% and u might just might keep Obama HUSEIN in the office for 1 more term.
Although you're ability to communicate through the written word is FUCKING ATROCIOUS, I'm inclined to give you credit for some valid insight.
Michelle Bachmann is the worst form of side-show distraction to help prevent the Republicans from nominating a credible opponent to Obama.
If you're a Republican (for whatever bullshit reason) and you want the party to have a PRAYER of taking the Presidency, you should recognize this woman as a fifth columnist. *Any* attention she gets is bad for the party.
(To be clear: I hate Republicans with a passion, so I'm all for Michelle's continuing suck-sess.)
The gentleman in the corner looks very happy....
Who ever can give away the most free tickets (votes) wins?
That is so scientific.
If Michelle B wants to take me to her tent and nibble my hotdog,thats fine with me,but I;m still voting for Ron Paul.
Bread and Circuses....
Showin' the banksters her CV I see. Difinitely big money pouring into her coffers. She's got the whole "assume the position" thang down!
She's demonstrating one way of Republican endorsed birth control, the other method lies down yonder and around the corner... bless her soul.
Didn't she used to date Bill Clinton?
You can fit like 5 "corndogs" in that mouth.
Vivid image....
Good thing Barney Frank wasn't in Iowa....
are you sure it wasn't 69%
WTF is that Shalom Bernake mug shot doing to the right? What kind of advertising do you have here on ZH?
i think it's cookies on your computer...i get thailovelinks.com...go figure...
I'm getting an advert for denture adhesive
And of course we all know how the MSM treats Ron Paul
http://i.imgur.com/rnqpP.gif
nice pandas, though
Ron Paul could get 100% of the vote and the MSM would not cover him. It is so blatant that it has become a regular joke among those of us that are following this.
He has no chance of advancing because the MSM is owned by the Soros of the world and there aren't enough people who give a shit to write/call in order to expose this travesty. It really is incredible.
Just like they showed old video when he one another poll. Wasn't the old video from the year before when he beat Romney, or some other establishment douche bag, in his home state?
Sad to say, I believe you pretty much nailed it.
On tonight's local news the anchor started the story with Bachmann wins the Iowa Straw vote in a victory over the other candidates, then went on to talk about each candidate at length, the exception of course was RP, the last words of the story were "Ron Paul came in second."
RP supporters better start writting/calling/emailing the networks to demand equal coverage. Oh wait, TPTB control MSM....
Here's some typical coverage of the Paul campaign that will absolutely infuriate you:
Technically, the margin of victory for Michele Bachmann at Saturday's Iowa straw poll was slight, with second-place finisher Ron Paul falling just 152 votes (or 0.9 percentage points) short of her tally.
But everyone knows that Paul is a niche candidate. The 27.65 percent that he earned on Saturday is impressive, in that it speaks to the sizable and devoted following he has built, but it's also probably the same share he would have received if there'd only been two candidates on the ballot, instead of nine.
http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2011/08/13/iowa_straw_poll/i...
Soros owned media? You've heard of Rupert Murdock, right? World's largest "news" company and all?
The free ticket doesn't obligate your vote, many people took free tickets and voted for other candidates. FYI, weekend Tyler - Romney was on the ballot, he was not a write-in.
Right there! Bachmann gets my vote. First woman president, able to fellate any American. Way better than first black man. Historic! Clearly separating herself from Palin. No wonder MSM hates her.
Hillary likes tacos anyway.
I heard that the first black man did OK fellating white men so I don't know why you would differentiate between them? Racist?
Pink tacos, at that.
Huma? A nice cafe au lait, surely?
Oh fuck that... How about the first black tranny lawyer previously in charge of the SEC's Enforcement Division.
Let's go all the way, I say.
Di-fucking-versity for one and all.
See, then it'd be real schitziod to say you were getting "Screwed by the Man."
Hopefully, we will see that picture here as often as the deer in the headlights.
That picture is sooo wrong. Let's publish pictures of Obama biting into a watermelon and some fried chicken.!
ok now i am really missing the up and down voter buttons....
Good one Ray............ I guess I need to start watching you a little closer
"Let's publish pictures of Obama biting into a watermelon and some fried chicken.!"
First he would have to spit Jamie's dick out of his mouth.
What a great fucking photo! Take it all, bitch! ROFL
I see Michelle is going the Teddy Roosevelt route. It's her "carry a big stick campaign".
That's helarious. Are you a headline writer?
Nope -- just an out of work dwarf ...... I hope the mining sector finally comes around
We need a pest exterminator in Moria...
We need one in DC too.
What's up with the pic of Bachmann swallowing Mandingo? lol
And Ron Paul is certainly getting attention no matter how much the JWO media tries to blow him off. I found it interesting that Paul raises more money from military personnel than any other group, being he's the only Republican candidate that is anti-war(s).
Maybe the troops think "bringing them home" means something other than losing their jobs.
Maybe something along the lines of "I might live through this".
perhaps military personnel are tired of fighting and dying in wars that do nothing for the best interests of this nation. I'd say bring the soldiers home and one last call of duty send them to wall street investment banks and finish off the financial taliban that work there (about a week of work - true financial reform) ... no private or commercial aircraft to leave US during week of financial reform. I believe the American people would cry tears of joy for the freedom from financial terrorism that our troops would bring us that week. Executive management staff first to go
There are three interpretations:
(1) its going down.
(2) its coming back up.
(3) that's her tongue.
It's her alien parasite.
2012 is shaping up to be the biggest farce, rock-star, american idol, reality tv show, bread and circus election ever...which means there will be record voter turn out, of course. I'm thinking our choices will be 4 more years of the current teleprompter or four years of " I'm here because the bilderberg group said so and I'm going to build a NAU super highway from Mexico to Nebraska and require 15 year old girls to take a vaccine that probably won't prevent cancer but most likely will make them sterile and/or kill them" gov. perry
if paul is not on the balled i'm writing in f%ck you as my candidate....
Watch out for Santorum. Not sure where he stands on the gold vs. fiat debate, but he is proffering the idea that if your internal morality wont do it, we have to run up these deficits to make sure there are clean government issued diapers.
Back to the shiny stuff. I'll take a lead bullet for Ron Paul as long as he drops the gold standard idea. Gold is a 1st order,recognizable and tangible damper to the control system, but you gotta mix it with a baskets of real work product that LLMs in Tax like bachman have never figured out how to make. See Lead and Cramers 501c gucci gulf charity.
Tax consumption folks, and we can bury a siam war vet like John Kerry with honors.
http://spreadingsantorum.com/
I thought you guys (anonymous/LulzSec) disbanded. I am still cool with timmy and the current release of turbo tax.
Although Dr Paul wants to return the dollar to Gold, he also wants to eliminate "legal tender" so any of dozens of forms of currency could circulate- debit cards tied to your stocks, bills backed by oil, whatever. At the POS the merchant can convert it to what ever currency they wish, at whatever the current rate is. You buy your groceries with a silver debit card, and it is instantly traded (at whatever the agreed price is) into gold, oil, euros, what have you.
THAT is a truly free-market currency. You would only have to pay your (minimal) federal taxes in gold.
We have the technology to do it! We can rebuild it!!!
Could this be the Dean rebel yell moment?
The migraine thing against Bachmann is about as tacky as saying "Well, at least she's an American" in response.
It's not just the MSM that won't give Paul or Bachmann the time of day, it's the Republican Party itself. They're hoping the two of them just go away on their own.
@sethgro how about the pulled pork at @teambachmann? The line for it is hundreds deep. http://yfrog.com/gyglxbonj
TimAlbrechtIA I have been to 4 #iastrawpoll events and never seen a line as long as Bachmann's.Bachmann voted for the perpetual war bill the House passed dissolving congress of its responsibility to vote on whether to declare war.

Follow links to vote.
Ron Paul has the useless asshole bankers shitting in their pants. He gets my vote.
and mine, sir!
The useless @sshole bankers are sh|tting in your pants, too?
Please clarify.
yeah right. They would arrange a 'Dallas incident' in short order ..
Wasn't it just a few days ago we had Barney Frank farting on television? Ok, his people can get him some Beano. What are Bachmann's handlers going to do? Keep everything resembling a penis away from her for fear she might put it in her mouth?
I think we've hit "Peak Shame"...
well arent you a true red..
good for you!
lets bring on crazy bitch and the button in the same room let alone if she has control of it!
LOL!
I can see now why Ron Paul is having trouble!
Proof Positive right here!
Not one person I voted for in the last few elections has won. None. If Ron Paul doesn't get through the primary I'm staying home. I'm even skeptical about that. Whoever wants my "I Voted!" sticker can have it and stick it right up their ass.
A statesman is an easy man,
He tells his lies by rote;
A journalist makes up his lies
And takes you by the throat;
So stay at home’ and drink your beer
And let the neighbours’ vote,
Said the man in the golden breastplate
Under the old stone Cross.
Because this age and the next age
Engender in the ditch,
No man can know a happy man
From any passing wretch;
If Folly link with Elegance
No man knows which is which,
Said the man in the golden breastplate
Under the old stone Cross.
But actors lacking music
Do most excite my spleen,
They say it is more human
To shuffle, grunt and groan,
Not knowing what unearthly stuff
Rounds a mighty scene,
Said the man in the golden breastplate
Under the old stone Cross.
- W.B. Yeats
To paraphrase Yeates;
"There is no center left to hold."
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in the sands of the desert.
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
i like yeats...
Caerus-
"The Second Coming" is one of my favorite poems (learned it at age 15 and did it in front of my class) and it has grown more powerful- and more prescient- over the last 25 years.
+1000!!!
you sir...are a gentleman and a scholar...
he would have been loved in ancient Greece where they loved the sophists.
I prefer the poets who sang about women and love. But then I'm dumb until I drink wine and find rhyme and reason like others find the stone of philosopher in stoical meditation. To each his own, bum holes or front holes; they all be roses in full bloom if the muse says yes to her poet-lover. I apologise to gospel lovers for my blasphemous prose about rosebud.
Good one. You know, I don't take the "staying home" thing lightly. Over the years I bet I've sent over a thousand faxes and letters to these weasels. I've called over and over again. Heck, back when I was a Yankee up north I volunteered as Perot's campaign manager. I don't know if he was playing "king-maker" or not but his take on NAFTA/GATT was prophetic. Now we can't even work our way out of our financial sclerosis. The jobs we used to have here are shipped overseas and are now done by slaves who make a bucket of beans a month.
I am truly ashamed...but remain at a loss as to what to do. Voting is clearly not working.
One last rant for the night and I'm done. I used to hate the unions. Try getting a Master Mechanical Contractor license if you don't own or work for a union shop. I did. You take the exam and never get your score - just a pass/fail. After failing twice I made a fuss and demanded to see my exam. Heavens to Betsy I passed after all. The only potential relief I see coming are from outfits like the Verizon union. I think Verizon made something like $10 billion in profit last year. Their 45k strong union is fighting back and I hope they get what they want. Their average salary is between 40 - 60k. That's middle-class and everybody knows civilizations collapse under the weight of too much middle class.
Peons like us are like fleas on a big fat lazy dog...hardly worth a scratch. The political class and these bozos on wall street add nothing but negative value. They are parasites and they've killed their host.
40-60k a year isn't middle class. It's working poor, sorry to say :-(
"What are Bachmann's handlers going to do?"
Give her napkins ;-)
What are Bachmann's handlers going to do?"
The girl has handlers ????
If she does, maybe smaller corndogs next time...
The girl has handlers ????
The Bachmann campaign has fluffers on call 24/7.
bachman turner overdrive - you aint seen nothin yet
rpt but i like their beards

Hey Tyler, quote of the day...
Hotdogs - NO
Corndogs - Absolutely NOT
Lollipops - definietly NOT
Dildos - pass
What about bananas?
What about corn on the cob?
Greatest. Picture. Ever.
The US just gets worse and worse. No hope , but some ugly changes. Doomed.
why is bachman fellating herman cain ?
Why not?
How do you know it's Cain?
That broad's always raising Cain. It's become quite an embarrassment for both of them.
This is why the United States is FUCKED! look at how stupid people are..
Ron Paul verse that crazy looking wanna be carved up barbie doll.
fuck me! no!! fuck us ALL!
Yeah bud.
From the outsider looking in, people are saying....'wtf? the yanks keep digging out these nutty witches as darlings of the right wing... why? dont you have anyone sensible?'
i think ron paul is very likeable and its depressing he's got such a battle on his hands to be heard.
it makes the right look unstable and an itchy finger on the trigger... so to speak.
it makes americans look bad
i'm not in usa. but i like it. don't want it to go down.
...don't want it to go down. ...
What has "wanting" got to do with "facts and recurrent, mad acts and worse consequences"...please tell me that!
Do you believe in western values : primacy of fact, historic precedent, logic and economic math?
Or are you into flying unicorns and USA uber alles what ever the cost?
I know there is no viable solution to coagulate the new norm of the west but hanging on to a corrupt system that goes from bad to worse is not the answer.
The Government of the Untied States is owned by Banking and Israel which is code for the "War Machine"...
BUT! "We the People" although many are dummer than a box of rocks.. are not all bad.. most Americans would share their last meal with someone who is hungry.
BUT! the Government of America Pays Farmers (like Rockefeller and Bachmann) to not farm! or pays farmers to destroy good food to maintain a market price! instead of sending the extra or un-wanted to africa or other to feed people??? what the fuck kind of group of leaders makes that call? what kind of people are they? really??
Like I said, the Government of the Untied States is Owned by Bankers and Israel who both buy or sell or fund the American War Machine.
BUT! MOST!! almost ALL! 99.9% (becuase the top 1% of the 1% is the problem, World Wide not just here in America) of Americans are not that bad.. even the bad ones are not as bad as the top 1% of the 1%.. murders kill less people that our leaders!

Ever see what happens when you as a Farmer does PLANT when the .gub say's NO MORE?.
Ah, the travails of Porkwoman, prepping the local brathundt with a gleam rarely seen. I so hope the telyvishun camera will ask a lot of embarassing questions now about her pork life, what's her pork like, is it like pork? Why the brown meat then when you are out of town? Are you submissive as pork? Are the rejects from your hubby bubby's clinic in your in your cell phone marked secret? Or is it a go and go situation? Only a sow for now? Don't oink me there if you own a dog? You think I want 10 fat tits?
where the hell is national enquirer tv. haven't we waited long enough for real tv?
150 points! hisssssss! boooooooo! Straw poll, straw basket to catch the heads of those cheating bastards!!! WE KNOW PAUL WON!! Sharpen the guillotine! Remember, Times Square beheadings for MSM with live coverage on ZH! But not before being buried up to the head in a FIRE ANT hill first! fuckers!
Tasteless photo. Let's get real, here. You all know you have nothing on them when all you can do is mock them
I know pre-teens with a better grasp of the Constitution than her. How's that for something on her?
You'd think that a guy with the name Hugh_Jorgan would find that photo amusing.
Inverse Freudian.
War plus the patriot act equals establishment neocon. That is short for thieving crime syndicate pigmen.
Showed my wife the photo, she said so who's the guy?
re-think
Mind come in handy at erection time...
I wouldn't laugh if they found out how to use it to their advantage...I would imagine a few easilty tittilated people could be swayed by the image....
...if this isn't a photoshop job, it is priceless. Had to laugh at the Mandingo line above....
it isn't photoshopped...she's standing to the right of the corndog sign..."foot long"
Well I'll be damned... she is, isn't she? Just too fucking funny...
it isn't photoshopped...she's standing to the right of the corndog sign..."foot long"
Ah, so it's butcher shopped.
Sounds japenese.
She's got my vote, along with the 5 th fleet!
STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES...
The New Republican Party Of Stupid will destroy America.
How did Rick Parry with an A for America, an A for Iowa do?
http://www.colbertnation.com/colbert-superpac/
If Paul didn't come in second I would say we should give away Iowa.... I just can't beleive Bachmann won any poll, no matter how flawed.
4% (or double the Gingrinch)...without showing up!
Newt will pack it in soon.... just let him crawl back into the hole he came from...
Newt never wanted or thought he could win. He saw Palin cashing in and thought he could do it too. I bet when he walks away...he will leave a mountain of debt behind him. Pretending to run for President shouldn't be a money making endeavor.
Thanks again Tyler for a bright spot in a gloomy world
What a bunch of sick pukes ? The Republican field is impressive ! Anyone of them would be an improvement over Obama and an asset as a leader in almost every puke country on the planet ! This cynicism is absurd ...... especially when the cynics say Obama and Pelosi and Frank aren't any worse ! Monedas 2011 I can take the whole ZH poster cluster to the wood shed ! Yeah !
Not a single viable candidate to be had. Don't stop believin' though...Obama is counting on you.
voting for Ron Paul is an intellectual vote and we have a lot of work on our hands trying to fix what the government schools have successfully accomplished.
He's from Texas...where they expurgate all the schoolbooks, right? Not that you'd be exposed to them much, being home-schooled by uncle-daddy and all.
Yeah, that federal government education thingy has worked out swell.
Lets make sure we include all the important LGBT's in the school textbooks. Very inportant for a six year old to look up too. GMAFB...
Yes, clearly they need to be taught this by complete strangers at such a tender age.
Why not? You afraid they might learn about the history of Republican abuse of constitutional rights?
You mean like gun control or bastardization of the commerce clause?
