    Bachmann's victory has to be the result of Democrat infiltration into the straw poll, right? No one actually wants her to be President, right?

    No, she pushed hard by extreme right wing "Christian" supremacists/dominionists

    Iowa's a joke, the debate and straw poll are jokes, making the candidates pander to rednecks and look like fools.

    It was Bachman's brisket and Randy Travis over Cain's Godfather's pizza handouts. I guess Pawlenty's burgers were not a hit.

    Iowans Thought They Were Voting for ‘Batman’

    Exit polls taken after the Iowa straw poll may hold the key to explaining the contest’s surprising results, as a majority of Iowans said they thought they were voting for “Batman.”

    “By a wide margin, Iowans were under the impression that they were casting votes for the caped crusader,” said pollster Davis Logsdon of the Opinion Research Ins ute. “But at the end of the day, they wound up voting for a different comic-book character altogether.”

    Why?
    Coherent principles and a voting record that backs them up. Also, he's the most credible anti-war candidate currently in the race.

    Michele Bachmann calls her win in the Ames Straw Poll a sign that hers is "the team that can't be beat."

    Iowa straw poll is absurd.

    You pay $30 to vote? Mic e Bachmann's campaign bought 6000 "votes" and handed it out to their loyalists? what kind of ing "poll" is that? And she still only got 4000 something votes?

    That's quite the track record of picking winners. No way Paul doesn't win in a landslide now.
