5. I think he meant in general why don't Democrats have an Iowa straw poll
Not "why aren't we having one this year?" He was asking, "Why don't we have one ever?"

8. Because most liberals don't eat deep fried butter, deep fried twinkies,
deep fried ice cream, or expect to be paid to vote.

10. Enjoyment of artery clogging food at the State Fair is non-partisan
I've developed a real love of deep fried Snickers bars, and then there are the old favorites, cheese curds, corn dogs, mini-donuts and Sweet Martha's cookies. I am thinking of trying the deep fried pickles this year. However, unless it's new this year, the Minnesota State Fair has yet to introduce deep fried butter.

I always imagine the fairgrounds as a grid and myself as a Ms PacMan just eating my way around it. I know people of all political persuasions who feel the same way.

11. Other than Cinnamon roles, I eat nothing at state fairs.
Though I have great memories of french fries with white vinegar.

2. That's because Chuckie is a shit-stirrer.
And it's "straw POLL".

3. Poles made of straw are somewhat unstable.
I had a scarecrow named Koszlowski and he didn't last very long at all.

4. There is no reason for a poll
in the Democratic party. Why would she entertain it?

7. That puzzled me too....Why waste energy and money on a poll when there are no
challengers? Obama vs none of the above? That probably makes sense here on DU but in the real world is rather laughable.

9. She should had told there will be a poll.
A poll to determine which numbnut pundit should not have a job.
