Keyes Wins Strawpolls

While George Bush has been raising Millions of Dollars, Alan Keyes has been winning big strawvotes in Iowa's Counties(including it's largest, Polk County), leading up to the big one - the mother of all strawpolls - The Iowa Strawpoll. This strawpoll will be huge. Last time, it was a major slip for Bob Dole who was embarrassed by tying Phil Gramm. Keyes, by early indications could shock Bush at the Iowa Strawpoll. Keyes' cheerful report seems to indicate what I've been hearing from my sources in Iowa is true. Bush's support is a mile wide and an inch deep. Keyes hasn't announced because he wants victory to speak for itself. He has had a number of victories in Iowa and has one of the better organizations down there. He is a force to be reckoned with. Still, many Conservatives don't know Keyes is running. I wrote to the National Liberty Journal(Jerry Falwell's paper) and asked them why they did not feature Keyes as a Candidate for their national strawvote. Their answer? Because they didn't think Keyes was running. Grassroots Conservatives need to know Keyes is running, if he is going to win primaries instead of taking strawpoll after strawpoll and losing the nomination.
