AMES, IOWA-

GOP whack bag Michele Bachmann has won the meaningless Iowa Straw Poll today. Big deal. 16,892 ballots were cast during the 2011 Straw Poll which included a write-in opportunity for the first time.
In case anyone is going to remember a year from now here were the results:

2011 Straw Poll Full Results (Votes, %)
1. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (4823, 28.55%)
2. Congressman Ron Paul (4671, 27.65%)
3. Governor Tim Pawlenty (2293, 13.57%)
4. Senator Rick Santorum (1657, 9.81%)
5. Herman Cain(1456, 8.62%)

8. Speaker Newt Gingrich (385, 2.28%)
9. Governor Jon Huntsman (69, 0.41%)
10. Congressman Thad McCotter (35, 0.21%)


Scattering (162, 0.96 %) Includes all those receiving votes at less than one-percent that were not on the ballot.  BTW.  I am sick of Iowa having anything to do with Presidential politics for the rest of the 99% who live here in the United States.
