Bachmann Wins Iowa Straw Poll, Paul Second Followed By Pawlenty
The votes are in and officials have identified Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann as the victor in the Ames Iowa Straw Poll, closely followed by Texas Rep. Ron Paul and former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty.
According to the Wall Street Journal the tally for the top three candidates went Bachmann at 4,823 votes, Paul with a close 4,671, and Pawlenty at a distant third with 2,293.
The win validates the power and momentum of Bachmann’s campaign, and makes her the frontrunner in the Iowa caucuses set to be the first in the presidential balloting process to begin in February 2012.

I know I am going to make my fellow Conservatives angry with me in the Republican Party, but I am not happy that she won. There is something about her, that turns me off. I think it would be a mistake to make her our candidate. We can do better and we must do better.
She has many good qualities. She is a fighter and that is a very good quality. She does a good job in Congress and I feel her personality is more suited to the House. I just don’t feel she has the experience as some of the other candidates have, regarding foreign policy and economics. We see what a President is like with Obama who has only served in the Congress. With Obama, I don’t think being in the Congress makes one a good President at this point. We need someone with experience of running a state. Who knows how to balance the budget and how to lead.
Does she have this? Time will tell. If we could find the American version of Conservative David Cameron, we would have a chance to beat Obama.
