2. I would not believe any polls

The main stream media slants the polls to keep it close to keep people interested.

A close race, a controversial race, or a race where the lead keeps changing keeps people watching.

The more people watch, the more the MSM can charge for advertising.

It is all about the money.

What we need to do is convince people to vote for a Democrat.

4. Yikes! What is wrong with Iowans! Do they not know that Huckabee is whacked?!

Why are we trusting our future to a bunch of people from Iowa?

6. Iowa is only one state. It's up to the people not to be influenced by Iowa.
