………………….. this week’s trifecta of presidential reviews for the Real Sporer. As expected Mitt’s Grand Opening of the Iowa office in Urbandale (reported in Celtic green) was very well organized, timely and efficient. Exactly what you’d expect Gentry Collins to produce.
Mitt also drew a very good crowd. The nature of the room was not designed to produce the numbers of the gymnasium sized events Rudy and Tommy held this week but there were still at least two hundred, exclusive of staff, and that made the place look absolutely packed, always a good television image. The crowd was largely composed of Republican regulars who I am pretty sure will attend their caucuses and will have important voices at their caucuses.
Sen. Brad Zaun did the intros. Governor Branstad was again in attendance. I heard Governor Ray was there but left early, but I didn’t see him so no confirmation. Several legislators appeared, although a different set than attended Tommy during lunch time. There was also a pretty good attendance from Cedar Rapids and Scott County, although no Yoda.
It was also good to see so many people that had been to see Rudy and Tommy earlier this week. This underscores the value, and validates the method, of the caucus process itself, as I said in my earlier post.
Mitt gave a tremendous performance. It is impossible to overlook Mitt’s charisma and telegenic good looks-he radiates the image of leadership in the 21st Century. The poll numbers aren’t great now but this race is dynamic and with nine months and $25 million to spend, those numbers could head north in a hurry. Popularity in April should be the last criterion for supporting a nominee next January so current poll numbers should mean very little.
The Real Sporer also gives Mitt a big “huzzah” for his frank and feisty description of Damascus Nancy. I think that we need to make it very clear to the American people that the mainstream Democrat foreign policy position, the correction I assume Damascus Nancy would implement if she could, mirrors the policy that the mad mullahs and the ultimate Mad Hatter Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Usama bin Laden, Al Qeda and the rest of the Islamofascist world desire from the United States. Thanks to Mitt for helping to make this distinction more clear.
We can confirm that the Romney black helicopters are, in fact, unarmed. A ridiculous heckler appeared in the costume of some aquatic creature. Unfortunately, Keith Hunter politely escorted the, uh…. dufus ….. to the edge of the property. I was pulling for a taser display. Gentry, don’t lose your edge.

Sporer,
Where is the outrage about the R reps who went to Syria a day or two before Nancy?
Personally, I think sending kind of a hot lady to deal with the bad guys is never a bad idea. Nancy and Condi together could do wonders for us.
Hello Ted....
Linn County Rules! :)
Team Romney CR
rf - they weren't the speaker of the house. again, you illustrate a fundamental problem with libs which makes it easy for us to spot libs in conversations. libs don't think there are any degrees of moral difference in anything. The US having a bomb is the same as Iran having a bomb. it's that collectivism thing to which progressives all subscribe.
In this situation, no one even knows who the r congressmen are. I don't know their names. was it even in the news? I didn't hear anything about some republican congressmen speaking for the government or speaking for isreal like the SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE did. it's my understanding that bush didn't want them to go either.
but lowly unheard of congressmen are not the same issue as THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, who said she was speaking on behalf of democrats, and Israel (she got it completely wrong, as it turns out and has now made things more difficult, but I digress)
Do you suppose she told them to just hold on, be patient, it won't be long before SHE is in complete charge and Syria will be able to behave with impunity soon? After all, Syria is just misunderstood. They had bad childhoods or something.
Do you suppose she followed up on Obamas take on the subject? The democrats will help take care of those pesky Jews over in Israel that are always causing so much trouble for everyone.
I sure don't understand why jews vote democrat. the democrats would sell them out in a heartbeat in favor of those poor palestinians who have been victimized by those jews over there. (best described by Obama himself).
chuck laudner did a nice job on the news last night explaining how jim nussle is really tone deaf.(i'm paraphrasing) i loved the part where he stated that nussle has a job right this second because of the straw poll and the value of iowa.
gee, how nice that nussle bites the hand that he wants to have feed him. if there was no straw poll, maybe nussle would be working the night desk at a hotel owned by mike whalen or helping bill dix on the pumpkin farm or living in Nevada where he could really hurt Iowa republican politics.
we just heard news about how safe iowa is for driving. yet, the democrats feel they must monitor us with cameras at traffic intersections, violating my privacy to pick my nose, if i so choose. the republicans, concerned with civil liberties and privacy, are proposing to ban them.
how is it that democrats don't want phones monitored for terrorist activity - which actually really does keep me safe, but they really thinks it's important to photograph me at every intersection to keep me safe?
How is that different? do they have warrantless search orders on file? did they go to the FISA court first?
Obviously we fundamentally disagree here. My view is that Nancy did us more good with one trip than W and his crew have done in the last 4.5 years and hundreds of billions of dollars later. I know diplomacy and talking to your enemies is hard for R’s who tend to see everything in black and white. But Reagan engaged with his enemies and appeared to be pretty successful. Of course, we know today’s R party is not really Reaganesque. They are just bunch of girliemen who are afraid to actually face the bad guys. It’s easier to send other people and other people’s kids to fight them.
I think our free society, the ideals of our founding fathers, and hot mature women are our best weapons in this fight.
The Muslim stuff on Obama is pathetic. Just proves my girlieman take on the R side. It seems that Osama really did scare the girliemen on your side shitless. Maybe that’s why they became so irrational. Fear can do that. From that perspective, Osama achieved his goal. – I tend to have much more faith in our country and our ideals than the R girliemen.
Is the Clive city council dominated by D’s? I really don’t know. - Knowing how all R campaigns are locating to the western suburbs to be close to all of their volunteers, I would be surprised if Clive city council is dominated by D’s.
In the spirit of intellectual honesty and trying to find common ground, I must admit I agree with your criticism of D’s being all freaked out about authorities listening in on phone calls to protect us. While I think the Iraq War was a huge mistake, I do think terrorism is a serious problem and we need to fight it vigorously and defend our country and citizens. We need to make some sacrifices for common good.
And I do agree about the cameras.
Great seeing you last night, Sporer.
The reason Democrats want the cameras is because it gives them more money, for more government, for more control over peoples' lives. The reason they don't want phone surveillance is because it doesn't make them any money, and being against surveillance of people (even though you're not being tapped if you aren't engaging in suspicious activities) can scare people into voting for you.
Good point, though, RF. Bureaucrats at all levels think that if they don't have the "needed" funds the sky will fall.
Bad point, though, RF on Nancy Pelosi. As Democrats have pointed out, there are "two foreign policies" in the United States. Hers, and the Republicans'.
When GOP congressmen went over, it was to fact-find. However, when the third person in line for the presidency goes over to talk about how unfairly this terrorist state has been treated, and how the U.S. needs to right their "wrongs," then yes, it is extremely problematic. We must not pander to terrorist states. We must continue to stay firm. Sending mixed messages through Pelosi is a very destructive and disturbing thing.
“…to talk about how unfairly this terrorist state has been treated, and how the U.S. needs to right their ‘wrongs,’…” - I think you are putting words and intentions in Nancy’s mouth that, rather than reality, reflect your preconceived ideas about D’s.
On the topic of this post for a change. Seriously, what is going on with Romney? Talk about taking every possible side of every issue, big-time pandering and political opportunism. I thought R’s hated that stuff. I guess the polls show how well his approach is working, but where did he find all the donors to his campaign?
Then what is it RF? She certainly isn't scolding them. You tell me what she is doing.
Maybe it’s called engaging the enemy. Diplomacy. Trying to find solutions. Human interaction.

Newt Gingrich and John Kerry are set to square off on climate change next week, their staffs announced Thursday.
The debate, hosted by New York University’s John Brademas Center for the Study of Congress, will take place next Tuesday, April 10, at 10 a.m. in the Russell Senate Office Building.
Truth squad wonders:
What about Beijing Newt? Speaker Gingrich went to China in 1997 to deliver his own message. China even complained that America speaks with forked tongue, sending the Veep one week and the Speaker the next.
see it here:
http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2007/04/05/gingrich_china/index.html
AS much as this burns my ass, Anon 8:42, Newt should not have gone.
Damascus Nancy's trip is far worse, since Syria is pretty much an enemy terror state with whom the United States is more or less at war and with whom we have only limited relations, but Newt shouldn't have been describing foreign policy to a foreign state at any time unless the President sent him.
I assume the Democrat readers are approving of W sending Bill Richardson to North Korea (again). Real bi-partisan leadership.
And I’m sure Sporer was the first one to criticize Newt’s trip… I know you have a partisan role to play, but that is laughable.
In summary:
WAR Hot mature women who don’t act like girliemen
From today's news: “Cheney reasserts al-Qaida-Saddam connection - Vice president’s words come as latest Pentagon report again dismisses link.” - And this guy is criticizing Pelosi’s conduct??
I've been watching nancy's trip. How much botox does she use? She has this continuously SHOCKED look on her face. Her eyes don't move. Does she use the same botox provider as John Kerry?
Plus, someone tell her to dump the purse. She looks very unpowerful carrying the purse around. What, she needs quick access to her lipstick?
Reality check wonders:
Sporer claims "Damascus Nancy's trip is far worse"
Pelosi went to establish diagolue where none exists. Newt went to threaten war over Taiwan.
Which is "far worse"?
That's easy. Pelosi.
US President Tim Kalemkarian, US Senate Tim Kalemkarian, US House Tim Kalemkarian: best major candidate.
