Romney's voters are back on the bus by the time his results are announced. In this and other videos, cheers for Ron Paul equal those for Huckabee and Brownback. Cheers for Tancredo are barely audible even though he supposedly received more votes than Paul. Doesn't pass the smell test. I think they gave Tancredo many of Paul's votes so Paul would not take third or even second place. Remember, the Iowa straw poll is like professional wrestling; it's not a real, legally regulated, vote!

Oh my god. Give me a break. The vote was not rigged. Ron Paul did better than anyone ever expected. Why can't you just live with that.. and use it to add support to your cause instead of trying to belittle everyone else?

Ummm... I was there. Ron Paul sounds the loudest because there were 10x more RP supporters than all others combined. Check out the pictures.

[efiftythree]

Stop your dramatically incorrect reflections. I counted approx 50 supporters for Huckabee and Brownback each. 60-70 for Ron Paul. Each had other supporters scattered around.

I enjoy Ron Pauls politics for the most part but the bottom line is he has about as much of a chance as Tom Tancredo.

Even the blonde with her cheap smear speach. We are gainning speed and they know it. I think Rons count was most likely higher and they fixed that also. I also think that all the voters were paid to vote. I think what happened in IOWA is a very good sign that we are not going away.

You can believe what you want but nobody is all that concerned with Ron Paul becoming formidable. Especially not enough to rig a non binding straw poll.

Ron Paul 2012 is crushing it! Kick out the establishment dinosaurs!

[PigeonTech]

In 2007, they announced everyone's place. In 2011, when Ron Paul takes 2nd, they only announce 1st place. Hmm.

Holy-Shaky-Cam! Hey Iowan, lay off that meth for a night, eh?

RON PAUL WILL WIN!

[Hackiesacker007]

Notice how the applause for Ron Paul was ten times longer than the applause for any other candidate

Keep you out of the poor house by perpetuating a fiat monetary system that will erode America's wealth until it becomes a 3rd world nation...

The straw that got the credit was simply the last one to decide to "join the fun" of the other pieces already piled onto the apparently inexhaustible beast. Life does not give us the privilege of knowing how many straws will be necessary to break

the global elite's back. It does give us the privilege, however, to decide to be a "straw" or not.

Ron Paul won the last Fox News debate by an overwhelming majority. He made haste of ALL the lame neo-cons that haven't a clue of what our Constitution stands for. Rudy (I never served) Julianni needs to check himself before he tries to disgrace someone that actually served in this countries military.
