An Independent Group Will Be Running More Palin Commercials In Iowa

C4P

An independent group will be running the following youtube videos about the Governor as commercials in Iowa. They will air on KCAU-TV in the Sioux City, Iowa market. The second video will also air as a commercial during the Broncos-Chiefs game on WHBF-TV in the market for the eastern border of Iowa.

The Governor has not said she’s reconsidering. The Boston Globe notes that voter excitement is scarce and that “[o]thers are hoping, even at this late stage, that Sarah Palin, Jeb Bush, or Chris Christie will reconsider and get off the sidelines.”

Santorum is now almost tied with Romney and Gingrich among Republican and Republican-leaning independents in terms of intensity.

Here’s how things look away from Iowa and New Hampshire before Christmas:

CBS National: Newt 20, Romney 20, Someone else 19, undecided/don’t know 17, Paul 10, Perry 6, Bachmann 4, Santorum 3, Huntsman 1
Gallup National: Newt 27, Romney 21, Paul 12, Perry 7, Bachmann 6, Santorum 4, Huntsman 1
Nevada: Romney 33, Newt 29, Paul 13, Bachmann 5, Santorum/Huntsman/Perry 3
New York: Newt 29, Romney 26, Paul 9, Huntsman 5, Bachmann 4, Santorum 3, Perry 1

Iowa GOP worried by hacker threat to caucus vote

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) -- Republican Party officials in Iowa are taking new steps to secure their vote counting systems after an anonymous threat suggested computer hackers could attempt to disrupt next month's presidential nominating caucuses.


A video uploaded to YouTube features a computer-generated voice denouncing a corrupt political system and calls on supporters to "peacefully shut down" the Jan. 3 caucuses.


The video claims to be from Anonymous, a loosely organized group of hackers who have successfully conducted past computer attacks.


Investigators aren't sure whether the video is authentic, but party officials have instructed precinct caucuses to use paper ballots as a backup system and taken other steps to protect the database and website that displays caucus results.

Perry Wants to Be 'Tim Tebow of Iowa Caucuses'

SIOUX CITY — Rick Perry says he wants to be the Tim Tebow of the Iowa caucuses.

At Thursday's debate in Iowa — the last before voters in the state vote Jan. 3 — Perry said that, like the Denver Broncos quarterback, he's been underestimated.

Perry has struggled in the debates, and in one he paused awkwardly, unable to remember the third federal agency he would dismantle if elected.

But he said Thursday night he's, in his words, "kind of getting to where I like these debates."

Perry said if he becomes the GOP nominee, he and Democratic President Barack Obama "will get it on."
