Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty asked for $25,000 to talk about the Iowa Caucus at Iowa State University.
Losing in the Iowa Straw Poll isn't all bad as some contenders for the Republican presidential nomination learned in 2012. Tim Pawlenty, a former Minnesota Governor who sought the 2012 GOP presidential nomination, now charges a speaking fee of $25,000, according to emails from Iowa State University's Harkin Institute of Public Policy, reported on in an Associated Press story.

Paul has a number of tents at the Iowa Straw Poll. Did he cover the most ground?
Rep. Ron Paul of Texas doesn't have the largest tent of all the GOP presidential candidates in Ames, but he seems to have a lot of Straw Poll space right in the middle of the site. A collection of Paul tents have been erected in the grassy field immediately south of the Scheman building. It took a crew two hours to set up his 60-foot by 120-foot tent. Paul's area also includes a stage, a green room tent and some smaller tents for vendors. But his 7,200-square-foot tent is not the largest. Check AmesPatch one more time or two, to see who has the biggest tent at the Iowa Straw Poll.
