Brian at Iowa Voice is following all the developments of today’s all-important straw poll activities in Ames. He’s got a lot of updates and video clips, and I presume will be posting the results from the straw poll shortly.

Look at the look on his face! You really should stick to politics, Mitt ;)

Update: Marc Ambinder reports that Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee came in first and second respectively. Iowans must have been as impressed by Huckabee as I was after reading this interview.

Read more on today’s vote, via the Des Moines Register.

Here’s Romney’s press release on the victory.

    Is it just coincidence that Huckabee did so well or was it because that FairTax had a big rally going on too? (and the FairTax tent was air conditioned) FairTax needs more exposure during this election cycle. Huckabee may not win the nomination but he lives and breaths FairTax!
    That and illegal immigration are important to me.
