    Bad things about Huckabee from boomantribune.com. Are they true?

    "This [Huckabee] is a guy that brags that he put an anti-gay amendment into the Arkansas Constitution and passed a law that which (sic)requires the state to do whatever it legally can to make sure women suffer needless complications in pregnancy."

    we all should know that this straw poll is phoney because the "voters" are 1.) self selected and 2) had to pay about $40 bucks just to vote!

    This is a made up story and not news. Wait for real voting when delegates are at stake... New Hampshire primary

    I hear Mitt Romney "won" a straw poll in Iowa because he received 31% of the "votes". I hear it was a "victory".

    NO.

    Earlier this year the Mets scored 31% of the runs in a game. It was not a victory. 69% of the "voters" did NOT vote for Romney.
