Remember A. J. Spiker's Words (When Rand Goes for the Win in the Iowa Straw Poll)

Kevin Hall writes from Iowa:
Greetings and welcome to Kevin’s Korner. I can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a bull’s ass, but I’d rather take a butcher’s word for it.

As I foretold here on the Korner last week, there will be an Ames Iowa Straw Poll this year. But it might not be in Ames … Iowa State University has price gouged the Republican Party of Iowa for use of their facilities in the past ($250,000 in 2011), so the state party is considering moving the event elsewhere. The Farm Progress Show site in Boone and the Iowa State Fairgrounds are two other possibilities …

All the talk of ending the Iowa Straw Poll was pretty overblown....

When Big Liberty acolyte A.J. Spiker was RPI chairman, he said, “It’s a straw poll. It doesn’t mean anything” …

Remember those words when Spiker and Big Liberty spend tens of thousands trying to boost Rand Paul to victory at the Straw Poll this summer …
