Mitt Romney wins the Iowa GOP straw poll

by seemingly hiring jugglers, clowns, inflatable moon-walks and depopulating a herd of cows for spare-ribs.
Of course, the irony is, that despite his pricey circus-hoopla all Romney managed to do was force the clown-like & pathetic Tommy Thompson bad-hair piece and all out of the race.
Doesn't seem like such a big victory, what with the low turn-out and the wingnut twins Mike Huckabee and Sam Brownback running to place and show respectively.
Still this is Mitt Romney we are talking about, true to his viceregal style he is strutting around today pretending that store-bought victory in the straw poll and Tommy Thompson's sad departure from the race, cements Romney's status as a front runner.
To me, it seems like he spent a lot of money and got lucky for one afternoon in that neither Giuliani or McCain decided to make a fight of it. Thats not quite the same as surging to the front of the pack on the basis of your charisma and scintillating ideas.
