Subject: GrammNet: Forbes Wins Free Straw Poll

GrammNet
Issue 8/22/99.2

Dear Friend,

It didn't receive any liberal media attention.  The candidates didn't attend 
and they didn't spend any money.  It was a test entirely of local activists' 
ability to muster supporters for their candidates.  Here are the results:

Scott County (IA) Republican Straw Poll 8/20/99  
Steve Forbes         61   34.27%
George Bush          60   33.71%
Alan Keyes           19   10.67%
Elizabeth Dole       17    9.55%
Gary Bauer            9    5.06%
Dan Quayle            3    1.69%
Orin Hatch            3    1.69%
John McCain           3    1.69%
Pat Buchanan          2    1.12%
Gopaw Krishna (sic)   1    0.56%
Total               178  100.00%

As you can see, when you take away Forbes' money and Bush's liberal media 
support, Forbes edges out Bush, and nobody else even makes double-digits.  
Scott County, incidentally, is the third most populous county in the state.  
It's not surprising to know that away from all the liberal media hoopla real 
Iowans like Steve Forbes!

Sincerely,

David B. Levenstam, CPA, MT, MA
