Perry’s people bought tickets, Palin’s didn’t.

Obviously.

But, why didn't Palin's grassroots army buy any tickets? If it really exists, one would figure they would be out buying tickets since their candidate showed up prior to the event.

Do you want to send $30 to your local Republican Party? Most Palin supporters would prefer to save that and send to their candidate.

She showed up on Friday, not because she wanted votes in a poll. She wants to win the Iowa caucus and the IA State Fair is where you can meet lots of voters. Her reception there was great while Bachmann showed up 30 minutes late to her speech and talked for only 3 minutes out of a 20 minute schedule, much to the crowd’s displeasure. The crowd will vote in the IA caucus, but probably did not vote in the Ames Straw Poll.

Palin does not buy political favors. She does not waste her supporter’s money on meaningless ego trips. She wants to be President and will run for the office but she will not try to buy it or pay others to steal it for her.

Why bother? Why spend the money? Palin doesn’t give a rat’s behind about the Iowa Straw Poll. She’s certainly not going to support an endeavor that puts money into GOP coffers.

You've got the first and last words of your screen name in the wrong order again.

Cheers!

It’s a standard thing. If Palin would have won, there would have been an avalanche of “great victory” posts. No votes, “no big deal.” Same ol’
