Georgia GOP Straw Poll Results
My wife and I drove up to Perry, Georgia this morning to attend the Annual GOP fish-fry and straw poll to cast our ballots. According to the Georgia GOP twitter-feed, here are the results:
- #GAGOP Straw Poll: Cain 26% Paul 25.7% Perry 20% Gingrich 18% Romney 6% Bachmann 3.3% All Others 1% 24 minutes ago
A few observations: The Amphibian's presence at the event only carried him so far. The two busiest booths were Herman Cain's and Ron Paul's, as reflected by the results. While I was watching, I don't think I saw anyone go talk to the lone and forlorn young man who was working at the Romney table. Herman Cain has an awesome looking event bus and lots of enthusiastic supporters.
I like the Constitution booklet that Dr. Paul's supporters were giving away.
I observed no angry white people (except for me when I discovered all but one of the soap dispensers in the Georgia National Fairgound men's restroom were empty- state owned and operated - go figure).
There was no rioting.
There was no looting.
There was no protesting.
There were orderly lines to get the (rather mediocre) fried catfish and burnt hush-puppies.
There was no racist rhetoric (in fact, I was surprised by the numerous enthusiastic black folk there to support the event).
It was a good day to be a Georgian.

Re: Georgia GOP Straw Poll Results
It's disgusting the lengths to which you Georgians will go to in order to hide your hatreds (e.g., acting like normal Americans).
The MSM will rip your mask off.

The MSM will immediately note the lack of Muslim faithful at your event. Shame on you Southern Fried crusaders. Or as they said at the Battle of Lepanto:
Yee Haw.

I hope there were no accents in evidence. If so, the Georgia GOP may have to drop all claims to basic human intelligence.
Please tell me Paul's booklet contained the Constitution and nothing else.

I'm sick of this pro-Georgian propaganda. Can't wait till Putin invades you people again. That's right...."you people".

Re: Georgia GOP Straw Poll Results
Boy, am I glad that Cain squeaked it out over Paul. We can't afford to have two state beauty contests in a row won by..... er.... marginal, non-mainstream candidates. Too easy for Obama to take that fodder and add it to his rapidly emerging "TEA Party=RepublicanWingNuts" theme.

Ya know, some people are going to look awfully silly when Ron Paul wins the GOP nomination. And I'd still vote for him over Obama. It's not like he was Mr. RomneyCare after all.

It's a sign of my creeping dementia, but first time through I read Palin for Putin, and immediately flashed on the doughty Alaskan militia, mukluks and all, cutting their way through the Augusta suburbs toward victory. Unless I hear otherwise from Michael Labeit I am going to assume this was not a psychic flash.

I tried my dangedest to get down there, but my unit got put on notice in case we get lent out to North Carolina or Virginia. That excites me that Cain won.
