Illegal Immigration Not An Issue?

Uhh...no?

Illegal immigration flares as hot as a scorching Iowa summer day.

The issue -- I mean, the ISSUES ASSOCIATED with illegal immigration, such as its hit on education, healthcare, and culture, have made Americans furious. Why else would Romney come out with a radio and television ad right before the straw poll on immigration? And then attack on that issue:

In one of the strongest conflicts yet between Republican presidential front-runners, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney attacked rival Rudy Giuliani Wednesday, implying that Giuliani supported illegal immigration when he was mayor of New York.

Because immigration is hot. And so is Tancredo.

Crunch Time!

No photos from today's events most likely. I've been working on some straw poll stuff: I didn't hit the sack until 4 AM and then woke up after a few hours to finish up some multimedia for the introduction to Tancredo's straw poll speech. I then ran it over to the studio in West Des Moines. If anyone took any pictures of today's town hall meetings, send 'em over! I'll post 'em and give credit.
