Iowa Is Not A Sure Bet For Any One.

  Like many of you I have seen sound bites from the last Republican Presidential debate. There were no real new revelations, I must say I was impressed with Speaker Newt Gingrich. As one might expect, all the other candidates declared war on Speaker Gingrich simply because he is the current front runner for the Republican Presidential nomination. Although Newt Gingrich,  is far from a perfect man, I have to admit, I was impressed at the Speakers ability to deflect or defuse much of the attacks lunched against him. The Speaker was able to do this because he is not running from his past mistakes instead he has admitted his mistakes and  has  ask the American people to forgive him and give him another chance to try to really help  our country. I hope he keeps his promise to stay positive, and not go negative, so far, I think it's working for him. I wish to make one thing very clear however, the prize of  Iowa is not a sure thing for any of the candidates including speaker Gingrich. All of the candidates would do well to remember that many of the folks will live in Iowa,  are conservative evangelicals,  with very strong family values. Many of the people in Iowa,  are hard working folks who are doing all they can just to get by.
  Governor Mitt Romney,  has a better organization in Iowa,  than speaker Gingrich, and he has much more money. The worst thing Mitt Romney, could have  done,   was to bet Governor Rick Perry,  10, 000 on anything for any reason. We have enough problems with class warfare in this country. The last thing Governor Romney needed to do was demonstrate to the hard working  people of  Iowa,  just how rich he was by the size of the bet he was able to make with governor Perry.  Congresswoman  Michelle  Bachmann, is from Iowa,  and remember she won Iowa's straw poll. Congressman Ron Paul,  has a very strong organization and he may still surprise the other candidates. Let's just say,  If  I were Speaker Gingrich, or Governor Romney, or any of  the other candidates,  for that matter I,d be very careful when it comes to betting on the final  Republican  Presidential out come in Iowa. The out come in Iowa, is by no means, a sure bet for any of the candidates who are running .This Presidential race, may still have many surprises be fore it's over in fact, I'd bet on it! as always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.
