Must be that I don’t get out much—but I haven’t a clue who this person is........
If you track enough Deace stuff you eventually run into the meat of his arguments ~ Trigg Palin ~ he criticized a handicapped baby.
I’ve never heard of him, either.
Nope. Not true. Nice try.
Deace HATES Willard.
Good.
Articles about Deace, his influence and reach:Some here suggest that Deace has no influence and have used the term "asshat" to describe him. Others say he has some reach. The media has certainly produced several headlines about this endorsement. Hard to tell what impact this endorsement will if any. But for Newt fans, anything is better than nothing...
Meet Steve Deace: Iowa Radio’s Christian Conservative Hitmaker – and Hitman
Steve Deace
To appreciate the impact Deace has had on the body politic in the Iowa, one only needs to look at the results of the 2008 presidential caucuses and the 2010 Republican gubernatorial primary. In both instances, Deace publicly backed candidates and used his radio show to promote them. In the 2008 caucuses, Mike Huckabee dominated central Iowa from the Missouri to the Minnesota boarder. Mitt Romney, who Deace attacked and mocked on a daily basis, only won counties on the eastern and western edges of the state, except for Dallas County, which he narrowly won. Huckabee crushed Mitt Romney in the 2008 caucuses, and it’s safe to say that there was more behind his impressive Iowa victory than just Steve Deace, but Deace was certainly a factor.
According to Deace's website, he has three radio affiliates in Iowa. KTIA (FM), KMA (AM), and WHO (AM).

BIG help in ‘08 taking down Willard in the Iowa caucus through his popular radio show. The “Rush Limbaugh of Iowa” if you will back then.
>>>Must be that I don’t get out much—but I haven’t a clue who this person is........
He’s an Iowan with a syndicated radio show, who gets way more attention than he’s worth on his releases of intellectual flatus. In this case, it’s better for you to remain clueless.
There’s no story here... Move along...
Might not mean much to people outside of Iowa, but he has a very loyal Iowa listening audience. Given much credit for Huck’s win there 4 years ago.
Here’s an article about him:

He USED to. Simon Conway is better than Dace ever was.
Wasn’t this Deace guy the one that accused Herman Cain of making “inappropriate remarks” in the presence of his female staff? What I remember of that incident had me thinking this guy is a little wacky.
A little back story on that: Cain screwed up and endorsed Romney in ‘08. And Deace has a vendetta against ANYONE who ever supported the $50 Massachusettes abortioner. Period.
Cain should have never have set foot in Deace’s studio or spoken to his harem of hot interns.
Sounds like a good endorsement for Newt. Good!
The American Idol British dude has a radio show in timbuk Iowa?
Does Deace have influence? I don’t know. I hope not for he is an asshat.
You’re better off for it.
Oh, yea? You just wish you have never heard of him.
The idiot voted for Obama and thinks he's more moral than the rest of you. You go figure.
Just what little I've heard about this Deace guy, he sounds like he is crazy - voted for Obama?
If you want to see what fellow Iowans think about Deace, look at this.
