I didn’t stay up late last night to see the final result because I already got Iowa’s lesson for the GOP.

Iowa’s lesson: The battle is on for the heart and soul of the Republican Party and it is serious.

 

Romney won, by eight votes. RinoMitt could only manage a squeaker against an under financed, former Senator who has a Christian conservative message.

 

The Iowans seemed to take my suggestion of yesterday and voted their values and beliefs, not the “conventional wisdom” or the media message that the GOP must “settle” for a candidate that can beat Obama.

 

Listen up folks, ANYONE CAN BEAT OBAMA.

 

Now is the time to vote our values and beliefs, not a politically motivated “whoever can beat the other guy” candidate.

 

Take heart, conservatives. Thank you, Iowa!!!
