" If there are two lights in a dark room and we turn them both on it is easy to see which lamp puts out the best light. It isn't necessary to put down other candidates to attempt to prove yours is better. Put downs only make me think that maybe the candidate you are supporting may not be the brightest lamp. "

" Mitt Romney won IL straw poll...GAG? I think not! :) "

" Mitt Romney? *GAG* "

" RON PAUL??? *GAG* "

" I don't understand the people who want to completely ignore these Straw Poll results. Yes, we all know they're not scientific, but we also know that this group is probably a closer indication of who will actually show up to vote in the primaries than the "random" sample that telephone polls bring. It's meaningless to ask questions of uninformed voters this early in a campaign. At least the people voting at the Straw Poll have listened to the speeches and thought about the campaign. In those ways, this vote is more relevant than the so-called scientific polls. "

" If this doesn't convince you, nothing will. Romney is a member of the Council for Foreign Relations (CFR) which supports the North American Union. Let me tell you how the NAU works. First NAFTA moves millions of Amercia's jobs to cheap overseas (slave wage) labor. Bush has already signed the Security Prosperity Partnership as the USA, Canada, & Mexico begin it's preparation of working as one. Next they need pass amnesty for illegals. After that comes the Trans Texas Corridor (Super HiWay) which will be owned by a Spanish company that will charge us a toll. Then comes the North American Union which will destroy what is left of our Constitution and our Bill of Rights because the NAU means that USA, Mexico, & Canada become one sovereign country. Then celebrating Independence Day on July 4th, just won't make any sense any more, will it? That is just the tip of the iceberg as to why Romney stinks. Need more? Google it. No Mitt, no McCain, no Rudy, no Obama, no Queen Hillary. Vote for the only candidate that has NOT sold out America to special interests. Vote for Ron Paul for 2008 President. "

" Can you tell us why you think Mitt is so horrible? "

" Help demand Ron Paul on EVENTFUL! Thanks! "

" I used to live in iowa. People who live there generally have no idea of how the world really works. When they installed left turning lanes on the streets (in the 1990s), people feared them and wouldn't use them for months until they were convinced their cars weren't going to be sucked into a black hole if they drove into such a lane. I recommend we pay no attention whatsoever to what the iowans are saying. "

" What a horrible person to even think of as president. I hope Mitt has a heart attack churning butter... "

" Oh using that logic Mitt paid for 10,000 tickets for voters and only got 4,200 some odd votes. That doesn’t add up; also, he didn’t just bus people there, he had golf carts to shuttle people around, and spent the most on his tent setup with a rock climbing wall and a little fairground. Sounds like he is buying votes. If you don’t like ron paul, well, you don’t like freedom then. "

" re:IndepThinker...Seems to me more than two people are writing about Dr. Ron Paul. He was cast at about 1-2 percent, but garnered almost 10 percent (He was only in Iowa for a week and got big support, unlike all the others who lived there for the past 2-3 months). Me thinks these gallop polls that only call people with landlines are unusually bias, and suited for a simple thinker like yourself. Dig a little deeper, and in a few more months, Ron Paul will be gaining people, while the warmongers of Guiliani, Mitt, McCain and Clinton will just hold on to support. Anyone that thinks Ron Paul is a joke anymore should stop watching the mainstream media and just look at the observable facts. I don’t and can’t understand why any American would hate someone who protects the constitution, wants to end the war, and understands a sound money policy… "

" that the Republican Party is so desperate for someone that they are turning to Fred thompson. Other than acting and a mediocre political career what has he done? I know, you're gonna say the same thing about Obama, but I feel the same way about him, he hasn't done anything. Neither of them should be president. It's time to get someone who's qualified for the job, Republican, Democrat, or Independent, it doesn;t matter. "

" Why are the same two people writing about Ron Paul under different user names? Results for Mitt Romney in the Straw Poll were similar to results for state-wide scientific telephone surveys. He is the top candidate for good reason. Romney would have won the straw poll even without offering to bus people in. He is a great candidate that despite the opposition and personal attacks wreaking of religious bigotry is souring above the rest of the political "pygmies." "

" Anyone who paid $35 could cast a vote...if that isn't self-selection bias, I don't know what is. I suppose this result says a bit about who can do the best fundraising, but it's irresponsible for the media to cast this in the same light as a scientific poll. "

" He may not have shown well but for me, the non-declared candidate seemed to do pretty well. I'm going for FRED. www.Californiaforthompson.com RUN FRED RUN "

" I am proud to be an American when I see the way the straw poll seemed to cut through some of the hype created by the media in favor of the over financed candidates. Back about 1915 we had a politician named Woodrow Wilson that accepted a bribe to create the Federal Reserve. They were a group of very powerful bankers and businessmen from around the world at the time. Through the monopoly of being the source of our money and by being outside of our government, or paying any taxes, they have built up a fortune that, I believe, includes owning most of the politicians of the world. It is going to take a determined, We the People, to restore law and order in our government before we can restore law and order in our once great nation. "I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be...snip -Woodrow Wilson "

" If 33,000 people show up to vote and they only count a little over 14,000 votes, what happened to the othe 19,000 people who bought a ticket to vote? Did they decide that spending money to go make themselves heard wasn't really worth it? Also, didn't they use the same machines that have a reputation of being faulty? Things just don't add up here. Romney is a hack and no more in support of American prosperity then that Nazi Bush. "

" Ron Paul only spent 1 week in Iowa campaigning and received 5th place. All the other candidates had spent nearly a month in Iowa. This is a very good sign. I also noticed last night on Fox news, and CNN not even a mention of Dr. Paul. He barley registers on the fixed Gallup poll, but when it comes to real poll, he does register. I am more and more convinced there is some effort to silence this man. "

" Speaking of money, where would Hillary be without her warchest of money? That is what will get her votes. Mostly Hollywood and other fat cat money while she claims the Republicans have all the money. Do they loan it to the Democrats? And of course, money gets coverage for Obama too. Do the GOP loan it too? Or is what they say about rich republicans as much of baloney as everything else. "

" Woo-hoo Romney! Keep on going! You are what this country needs! "

" When the story broke last night on AOL news, they didn't even mention Ron Paul in thier coverage. EVERY other candidate was mentioned in regards to his finish. Not Paul! Someone convince me there isn't some sort of orchestrated effort on someones part to completely ignore him. Probably hoping he will go away. But I don't believe he will. "

" ...1st Mitt Romney 4516, 2nd Mike Huckabee 2587, 3rd Sam Brownback 2192, 4th Tom Tancredo 1961, 5th Ron Paul 1305, 6th Tommy Thompson 1039, ...8th Rudy Guiliani 183, ...10th John McCain 101. Romney spent about $2000 per vote serving filet mignon at his tent and Ron Paul spent about $200 per vote serving hot dogs and corn on the cob. Give me a candidate that doesn't spent foolish money and I'll give you an AMerica that is finally on the right track. Vote Ron Paul for 2008 President. Shunned by mainstream media throughout the campaign, Ron Paul still finishes with 9.1% of the vote! The guy would win hands down if his ideals were given the same coverages as neo-cons such as Romney, Rudy, & McCain. No doubt about it! "

" As I've said before, a richness of Republican embarrassments vs. an embarrassment of Democratic riches. "

" who doesn't believe in evolution comes in second? What is this country coming to? "

" Out of the 33,000 that attended, less then half voted? The majority of people there had a Ron Paul shirt or button, and yet he barely registers on the ballot. Over 15,000 people who showed up to this thing and did not vote. Funny how if those people would've voted for one candidate it would be at over 60 percent, ironicly thats the same percentage as the web polls show for Dr. Paul. Finally, the makers of those fine faulty machines(which messed up again tonight) are exclusively supporting Romney. I'm feeling ill. Stay in Dr. Paul! America still needs you even though the fascist are trying to rob more from liberty. "
