Iowa Caucuses

I'm reading a lot of BS about Iowa politics from the AP and others.

Supposedly Sarah Palin will not connect with Iowa conservative, Christian Republicans. There are no candidates on the radar screen for the GOP for 2012. The GOP is all divided and squirreley about its future. There are no front runners.

Bull fazoo!

Former Mass Gov, Michigan (auto industry) executive and 2008 prez canidate Mitt Romney is perfectly positioned for 2012. Have you seen his web site http://www.freestrongamerica.com/ (see web site image above Free and Strong America is not a bad slogan! Mitt talks to you the minute his site loads. he looks tanned, fit and ready to slap the GOP outta control "children" around, tell them to sit down and shut up, and get the party back on track as a serious organization! Talk about family values, Romney is the man. And Glenn beck is a Mormon so that issue will be neutralized this time around!

Mike Huckabee is all over the media and his web site kicks bootey. It is really a "campaign" site disguised as a personbal web page. You can get Huck paraphenalia, contribute to HuckPac, buy his upcoming Christmas book, his videos, well you get the point! Both have a vigorous team of consultants working on a smart 2012 strategy. They are the front runners by any measure.

Newt Gingrich has the most aggressive and vast organization that is working 24-7 churning out "wonky" policy papers and driving Newt to every talk show possible. He is well funded (although the stream of revenue is tight for any of these political organizations right now. The Newt web http://newt.org/ site is huge. Ronald Reagan joins Newt on the top banner this week! talk about channeling the deceased. You can buy his books and joing him for "Real Change" which is a side swipe at Obama!

Tim Pawlenty, Gov of Minnesota, is an Iowa "neighbor" and that has often worked in the past for the Iowa caucuses. He looks pretty good and will make the case that he has executive experience and can create a big tent. http://www.governor.state.mn.us/ I couldn't find a personal political web site yet but i'm pfretty sure that will pop up in the next few months. Gotta have that Tim T (shirt).

So message to AP. Get serious and think outside the box! The GOP is alive and well and has a big menu of strong and aggressive prez wannabees who would play very well in Iowa. That includes Sarah Palin!
