[News Xazri] Video: A taste of the Ames poll environment « News Xazri: Earlier today, I took my camera and walked around the Ames straw poll grounds at Iowa State University to give Hot Air readers a flavor of what this event is like.

[The Daily Caller] Michele Bachmann | Ames Straw Poll | Ron Paul | The Daily Caller: Just returned from the straw poll, where I cast my vote for Bachmann.  What the results do not tell you is that while Paul came in not far behind Bachmann, many of his votes came from Democrats, who came, and I quote, “to mess up the results.”  Many of his votes were legitimate supporters, true, but the validity of his final tally is in question.  Additionally, many of his supporters were loud, obnoxious, and discourteous.  I’m so proud that I was able to attend, vote for a candidate that truly has a vision for an America that will unashamedly thrive and succeed.  And hey, I even cast my vote without the freebie food and entertainment–Bachmann’s lines were evidence of her support, and I gladly gave up my place and went elsewhere and paid for my own dinner!

[Mediaite] Iowa Straw Poll Results | Michele Bachmann | Ron Paul | Mediaite: Paul’s main fault is that he doesn’t see the determination of freedom’s enemy, Islamo-fascism, who won’t stand by while we here at home relearn the niceties and capabilities of constitutional governance.  Our populace, not habituated to such, doesn’t know what it means to have a war declared, as would be necessary in today’s environment.

[Gds44's Blog] Reality check – Tea Party Nation « Gds44's Blog: Romney.  For Michele Bachmann, her victory is spectacular.  Ames is about organization and she had the organization on the ground to get people into the straw poll.   All Ron Paul does is win straw polls and for her organization to beat the Ron Paul poll stuffers is nothing short of amazing.  Her victory lap is cut short today by Rick Perry’s announcement that he is entering the race, but donors will pay attention to her victory and that will send all important money flowing into her coffers.
