The caucuses for two precincts, IC 23 and IC 24 were held together in the same high school auditorium.
Results from IC 23 – Paul 22, Romney 60, Gingrich 7, Santorum 14, Bachman 5, Perry 2, Huntsman 1
Results from IC 24 – Paul 47, Romney 39, Gingrich 8, Santorum 13, Bachman 3, Perry 1, Huntsman 1
There were a bunch of very wholesome looking, clean shaven men in slacks and shirts sitting near the front row. Just men. All in their mid thirties to mid forties it seemed. They all knew one another and every one would shake hands when another one arrived. A few wore Romney stickers.
The process was pathetic and open for abuse. We each received a very plain slip of paper before we entered the auditorium. After about an hour of speeches by representatives for each candidate, we were asked to write the name of our chosen one on a piece of paper. And pass it to the side. Which side? Either one. Very elderly ladies, God bless them, did their best to collect the papers amid the chaos. Many people left at this point. Some people walked up to the ladies to hand them their papers after the initial collection.
The ladies counted the papers on some bleachers which had been set up on stage. A representative of each of the candidates looked on. Most of the people left. I waited until results were announced.
It was said, “There were a bunch of very wholesome looking,

Sounds like Mormons… act like Mormons… Romney is Mormon.
Elsewhere comments about Iowa said, ““Romney himself
cannot get the independent
vote, nor a lot of tea party nor much any occupy
vote, he won’t get a bulk of the Christian
conservative vote as well since it would be against
scripture to vote or support someone that has
actively pushed a heretical alternate version of
the bible (a REAL big no-no in Christian teaching),
and in essence is viewed as a “Cultist” by mainstream
Christianity…†Mitchell Kent.
This quote illustrates a big issue for Mr. Romney. And to
expand and understand the issue, it applies to Islam,
except that Mormons do not participate in Jihad.
When looking at postings about Iowa, one has to look to
the bottom line which is illustrated in this quote from the web:
“It is very depressing when you realize that the
only thing between us and slavery is the Republicans.â€
