MIKE HUCKABEE TAKES 2ND IN IOWA!!

Today the Iowa GOP straw poll was held in Ames, the site of Iowa State University. It was anticipated that Mitt Romney would win as he has poured millions of dollars into his Iowa operations. Mitt did win. Cyclone Conservative has the total numbers.

I am very pleased to say that the candidate that I support, Mike Huckabee took 2nd place with 18.1 percent of the vote! This is very huge for the former Governor of Arkansas who is, over time, climbing his way up the ladder of candidates. Note that Guilianai, McCain, or Fred Thompson did not participate so the competition was lighter than it could have been for a candidate, such as Huckabee who clearly lacks the funds that Romney has been able to collect. This is a huge victory for my guy and i hope it results in the turning of some more heads and the opening up of some wallets.

How did the Fair Tax do? Not sure. I suppose a full report will come from Neal Boortz who was up in Ames today, on monday morning. I don't think they had the immense support or grabbed as much attention as the Fair Taxers did last May in Columbia, SC. However while Americans For Fair Taxation does not endorse a particular candidate, the candidate that is the standard bearer, compared to everyone else in the field, for the FairTax took 2nd at the Straw Poll (Tancredo who also endorses the movement came in 4th. Duncan Hunter who endorses the Fair Tax didn't do as well and might drop out).

Stay tuned!
