Though perhaps is is
redundant
to refer to any
American
political event as a
scam
, the
Iowa
Straw Poll is most
defintely
a
scam
. To place any signifigance on the results of this "poll" is to be mal-informed. So of course the
media
places a great deal of
emphasis
on this
event
. In this "poll",
Republican
party members gather at the
Iowa State Fair
to "
vote
" after donating a
sum
of
money
to the
Republican Party
of
Iowa
.

Bears no resemblance to anything
useful
- at this point in the
political
cycle, there has been no
debate
or focus on
issues
. The Straw
Poll
is merely a chance to flex some
organization
al
muscle
(how many
vote
s you can buy, how efficiently; proceeds go to the
Iowa
GOP). Little more than a party
pep rally
-
"Go Tigers! Beat Central!"
, accompanied by
speech
es saying Central's
quarterback
"throws like a girl" and Central's coach "can't hold his liquor". We remain scoreless.
