The Iowa GOP begins auctioning off space that candidates can occupy at the Ames Straw Poll grounds on August 13th, Politico reports. “The cost of a spot is $15,000 – but not all spots are created equal, with some closer to the main entrance, and the bidding only increases from there. Each campaign is allowed to send two representatives to Iowa GOP headquarters this afternoon for the auction. All the spots will be handed out by the end of the day and the campaigns will have until June 30 to pay up.”

Let's hear it for the T-Potty.
And suddenly, all across America came the sibilant sounds of reverent flushing.
"T-Potty" ha ha. That's good. I'm going to steal that.
Why anna, don't you think change is good? Surely, you don't want to promote the mentality of other FR libs in wanting to live in the past.
LIBs wanting to live in the past? What planet do you live on. Isn't it the Tea baggers and republicans who deny things that have ample scientific evidence while believing things that have none? Ideas that live only in the past and in the minds of Conservaties.
For example, large numbers of conservatives deny evolution which has been a scientific fact for more that one hundred years.
Most conservatives deny global warming despite overwhelming evidence.
Conservatives routinely seek to allow the teaching of Creationism, which has no scientific validity, as science in schools.
In fact the basis of Conservatism is to live in the past. Conservatives seek to retain their traditional, economic, political, social, moral and religious values and impose them on other people.
