16 days till katy perry and my birthday. we talked about the iowa strawpole.

Michelle Bauchman came out on top for the Iowa strawpoll. Ron Paul. Everyone seems to like him. He seems like a neat guy but i havent really got into the whole running for president thing yet. Mr. Bruns thinks he will scare people away. There are a lot of people dropping out. Rick Perry. They think he has a shot. He is leading polls. Mitt Romney one of the major front runners. tea party doesnt like him because he is too conservative. Rick Santorum. He is kinda scary looking in the video we are watching. People think he could possibly win. Obama of course is running. no commment.
