Gosh, someone who’s made no secret that he plans to run, announces, and gets more votes that someone who has yet to declare and wasn’t actively seeking votes? I can’t imagine how that happened. If anything, he should be embarrassed by his poor showing. :’)
You guys really have to make up your minds. I keep hearing it’s a given she’s going to run but now it suddenly isn’t?
And no...I’m not really into spin. Save that for the people on TV and campaign officials. Sarah was there in person. I am damn sure her team was hoping they’d get more write in votes just due to her presence exciting some people to switch their votes.
And before you go there...I’ve already said Perry and Romney had a presence there too in their own ways. I’m not buying any of this talk that any of those three left the poll completely unattended. They didn’t go all in like Pawlenty, Bachmann or Paul but they all had a presence.
