Candidates bribing voters, better known as the Ames Straw Poll, is nearing it's concludion today. Bachmann is the heavy favorite to win, considering Mittens isn't in the state and the prophet Rick Perry just announced his candidacy in Charleston, SC a couple of hours ago. Is it just me, or does it feel eerily like it must have in 1860? Anyway, T-Paw, who has been a non-factor from the beginning, must finish first or second for anyone to continue to take him seriously. Good luck with that. Ron Paul organizes his followers better than anyone else, so I think he's a darkhorse to win the thing. What do you think? Besides the fact that each and every one of these candidates is certifiably nuts. LOL
