What Michele Bachmann's Iowa's straw poll win means.

What Michele Bachmann
Posted By: Marta Fernandez on August 14, 2011


Watching #QueenofRage #michelebachmann on the ticket tape..saying that her win in Iowa means she is the chosen one..take note of the word "chosen" it's a play from the response to President Obama's campaign, as her advisers copy and mimic every single act, word thought that David Axelrod used to get the "unelectable" elected. But the history of the Straw Poll shows a different response:

" Her straw poll victory is expected to give her a boost nationally, especially with fundraising.



But it also makes her a target and comes with warnings. Only twice in the five straw polls since they were first held in 1980 has the winner gone on to capture the caucuses.

Romney won the straw poll four years ago, finished second in the caucuses and stumbled during the early primaries before quitting the 2008 race.

Just once did the straw poll winner take the GOP nomination. That was George W. Bush in 2000. "

And Bush had Roger Ailes to fix his mess..Perry's connection to the Bilderbergs is something to watch carefully.
