I figured she would get more, too. But, I didn’t vote for here even though she is my first choice and the only candidate who will get my money and and space in my yard for a sign.
There were scores and scores of buses there because candidates bring in voters from all over the state. If I has a Sarah supporter from a long distance away, I wouldn’t want to ride on a bus for two or three hours with another candidate’s cheerleaders.
Also, Palin supporters knew she wasn’t running, so why bother with standing-room-only crowds just like a Grateful Dead show?
Iowans also are very connected to the fact that Straw Poll results have never corresponded to Caucus or Election results.
But I did expect her to have more votes.
I talked to some Ron Paul supporters who said they rode in on a bus with 3 people on it. This was not the “green” way to do it.
If I had gone I would have voted for my first choice and not someone else, but that is just me.

How do we know exactly how many votes she got? Was it posted by the Iowa Straw Poll?
