When the ballots were finally counted in the Iowa straw poll on the evening of Aug. 11, former Governor Mitt Romney was the winner, with 31.5% of the vote. But it was Mike Huckabee, the laid-back former Governor of Arkansas, who bounded into the press tent ahead of the others to exult in his second-place finish. Romney's win was preordained--he spent a reported $2 million on the event and has led in Iowa polls since mid-May. But Huckabee, who has raised only $1.3 million all year and spent less than $150,000 on the straw...

...passengers on the planes had been packing heat, I was beginning to wonder if the event-a goofy affair under the best of circumstances-had gone fatally exotic. Paul had one of the largest groups of supporters. So did Kansas Senator Sam Brownback, who provided a massive air-conditioned tent that looked something like the Denver airport and featured nonstop evangelical preachers and a Christian rock band that strip-mined Stevie Wonder for songs like Signed, Sealed, Delivered, Jesus, I'm Yours.

...Paul forces turned out mostly to be nonvoting out-of-staters. Tancredo tanked.

(I thought his bass playing was pretty solid...

...After the war, Hizballah launched a campaign to topple the current American-supported Lebanese government, which it accuses of collaborating with Israel to destroy Hizballah's existence as a state within the Lebanese state. But the Hizballah-led opposition campaign has stalled - they've been stuck in protest tent camps in downtown Beirut for the last eight months - in part because many Lebanese resent the fact that Hizballah unilaterally sparked a war that ended with almost 2,000 dead and billions of dollars in damage...

...Kansas Senator Sam Brownback, who had hoped to assume that mantle with a first- or second-place showing, was third with 2,192 votes (15%). Brownback made the greatest effort and investment in Iowa after Romney, renting buses and air-conditioning the tent in which he entertained his supporters in the 91 degree heat...
