Rising Hegemon
Question for this evening Hegemonians: Just what have we learned from the Caucus results tonight?
Calling yourself a Constitutionalist does not work? Invoking family does not separate you from other candidates? Crazy eyes do not work? Or do they? Talking about the gold standard only gets you so far with the evangelical crazies? Behold the power of the sweater vest? Talking about Reagan, Reaganite, Reagan-like, Reganesque, etc etc does not mean much?
Maybe, we have another Iowa Caucus which does not explain much about the wackiness of the Republicans? What do you think?

The candidates have completed the cirdle, the firing squad starts tomorrow.
Umm, looking at the votes, in aggregate, the candidates who in varying degrees pandered to the Christian dominionists, theocrats and outright religious loonies beat Mitt Romney 75% to 25%.
Ditto what Montag said. Romney has a victory only because the god vote was split. He won the same number of votes as in 2008, which was considered a humiliating loss for him at the time. Four years of campaigning and not one more vote? They really don't like their eventual nominee...
CNN on the results of the April 2011 Ames, IA straw poll:
"Bachmann secured 4,823 votes, narrowly besting Texas Rep. Ron Paul who had 4,671 votes."
Question for Iowans (or anyone) - How many votes did Crazy-eyes get in Ames yesterday? Just curious.
my danish epal mentioned the iowa race. i apologized.
