    What Happened In Florida?

    Michelle Bachmann did a pretty decent job in the debate on Thursday.  No foot in mouth, so to speak, and the Perry/Romney back and forth was expected.

    So what happened to bring candidate Bachmann so low (Getting 1% of the vote) in the straw poll in Florida.  What was it that caused her to be virtually abandoned by her base? One truly wonders. What could it be?

    On principle, I have no trouble with Bachmann.  I would be tickled pink if she was selected as the Republican candidate for President.  Likewise, very happy if the poll WINNER, Herman Cain (37.1%) becomes the Republican flag bearer for the position.  Both of these candidates speak to the real problems we face, and have offered solutions that are not simply the politically correct alternatives to the way things should be done.

    I just wonder what happened?

    Oh, and congratulations to Mr. Cain, a straight shooter and true conservative.

    put the results up:
    • Herman Cain: 37.11 percent.
    • Governor Rick Perry: 15.43 percent.
    • Governor Mitt Romney: 14 percent.
    • Senator Rick Santorum: 10.88 percent.
    • Congressman Ron Paul: 10.39 percent.
    • Speaker Newt Gingrich: 8.43 percent.
    • Governor Jon Huntsman: 2.26 percent.
    • Congresswoman Michele Bachmann: 1.51 percent.

    I should note Bachmann and Romney did not participate on their own behalf for the straw poll.
