State GOP chairman Matt Strawn’s comments on MSNBC’s Morning Joe “came amid murmurs that some of the less socially conservative presidential hopefuls — particularly Mitt Romney — may downplay the first-in-the-nation caucus contest out of fear that they can't win evangelical Christians, but Strawn strongly advised against that mentality.”
MISSOURI: “Missouri lawmakers are considering moving back the state's presidential primaries in 2012,” the St. Louis Dispatch reports. “A bill by Republican Sen. Kevin Engler, R-Farmington, would change next year's primaries from Feb. 7 to March 6. Missouri held its 2008 presidential primary on Feb. 5.”

No matter what the GOP/TB does they can't win now that the curtain has been pulled back. It's the Koch brother's running government not the GOP/Teabaggers.
You are right a rain, but watch the posts today. You will see that there are actually people in our midst that LIKE the fact the Koch's are running our government.
Yes, InThe Middle (not) was busy on the other thread telling folks to love the oil companies because their 401K's depend on it. I'm surprised the Republicans haven't flown a proposal to rename the USA the United Corporations of America.
Are these ultra-rich not satisfied with running their companies and owning 50% of the wealth of our country... that they also want to control the government? They are taking control of the primary process.
I was glad to see the Walker "punked" phone call because it showed what is really going on. Just the fact that Gov. Walker didn't flinch when he thought David Koch was on the phone! That along spoke volumes about what is going on behind the scenes.
And how many of the ultra-right comments on sites like this are coming from Koch employees? Just asking.
ROTFLMAO! As a proud Iowan, you all know little about Iowa or its values. But please do prattle on...
