Iowa Picks Crazy/Phoney Over Phoney/Crazy: Romney is The 1st Loser.

Well the first one is all over. Iowa Republicans decided that they want their candidate to tell you all of the crazy shit that they believe, rather than try to hide from it. Go Iowa! Way to stick to that Iowa stubbornness.

What really smarts is that the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Flip-Flop Gold Medalist himself spent about $7 million on ads in Iowa, compared to $1.4 million for the eventual winner Huckabee. He also both raised and spent the most of any GOP contender, including at least $17 million of his own money. That is a lot of cheddar to drop on a silver medal.

After being introduced this evening by gold medal speed skater Dan Jansen, Romney said in his concession speech: "Well, we won the silver and congratulations to Gov. Huckabee for winning the gold. Nice job."

Romney added: "You win the silver in one event, it doesn't mean you're not going to come back and win the gold in the final event, and that we're going to do."

Romney insisted the Iowa results — with outsiders like Huckabee and him finishing one-two and freshman Illinois Sen. Barack Obama winning on the Democratic side — showed voters want change in Washington.

"We need new faces in Washington, and I intend to be one of them," Romney said.

Romney's ads, criticizing Huckabee's pardons for prisoners and his position on illegal immigration, backfired with some caucus-goers.

"I was a Romney supporter, and then when the whole issue of pardons came up, I first was against Huckabee but then went back to him when I did more research and learned the full reasons why he released some people," said Colleen Vangore, 45, of Clive. "I felt that if Romney didn't tell me the whole story on that, there might be other things he wouldn't tell me the whole story on."

Really Colleen? You think that Willard "might" not tell you the whole story? Um...I think you need to read a little bit more Anyone But Romney in 2008.
