"In
a big surprise, the second place finisher was Baptist minister and former
Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee with 18% of the vote, despite spending less
than a tenth of what Mitt Romney had. Huckabee himself seemed at a loss to explain
his success [on screen: Huckabee comparing his Ames showing to 'feeding the
5,000 with two fish and five loaves']. Apt metaphor, governor. But I really
have to say, don't you think Jesus would have won?" --Jon Stewart
"For those of you who still care, what exactly
is the Iowa straw poll? [on screen: a political science professor explaining
that GOP candidates tend to pay the $35 ticket fee for voters in hopes they
will come out and support them]. So, it's an election with no Democrats, in one
of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your
vote. Or, as the Republicans call it, 'Our vision for the future.'" --Jon
Stewart
