JoEllen Arthur of Des Moines was surprised that Bachmann didn’t do better in the Iowa caucuses after she tied to win Precinct 81 in Des Moines.
“I’ve liked her since the beginning,” Arthur said. “She strong on foreign policy, and wants to be tough. She has confidence. She wants to balance the budget.”

Why does Ron Paul have the best ground game in Iowa? His supporters work hard and work early. Paul volunteers put up signs, balloons and a booth long before other candidates at Saturday’s Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition candidate forum in Des Moines.

Pauley Hines brought his “Cain Mobile” from San Antonio, Texas, to Iowa for the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition presidential candidate forum to be held Saturday night. He says he didn’t get any rude gestures during his ride, unlike when his car was the “George W. Bush Mobile.” Then, he got “lots of middle fingers.”
