Iowa Straw Poll

Sounds weird. You have to pay $35 to attend, but candidates will give you free tickets, if you vote for them? There will be entertainment. I heard there will be music and Gingrich is bringing an alligator? even though he is not on the poll? How many locations are there and how many alligators is he bringing? Romney will win as he has given out the most tickets? You will vote in the poll on Diebold machines and then dip your finger in purple ink? Some years they ask for an Iowa driver's license, no one is sure if they will this year? Is this a joke?
