Palin was in the state yesterday and she had the same opportunity for write in votes as Perry so why did he get over 700 votes and Palin got 35?
That’s because Perry’s people bought 700 tickets and Palin’s people bought none. This event was a fundraiser for the Iowa Republican Party. Palin knows that giving them $150,000 to try to win a poll is a waste of money. Ron Paul’s people bought 5000 tickets or so and Bachmann’s bought 6000 ($180,000 wasted on an ego trip).
