Do Straw Polls matter? Romney the front runner only got 3.3 percent?

The Iowa Straw Poll isn't a poll at all--it's a fundraiser for the Republican Party. Victory depends primarily on organization, i.e., which candidate can get most of its supporters to buy tickets to the event?

Scientific polls are useful and for the most part accurate, but the fundraiser in Ames is not a poll, despite its name.

No.

Romeny didn't participate in the Ames Straw Poll, even though his name was on the ballot.

Michele Bachmann paid $30 per vote, bused in her supporters and had Randy Travis doing a mini concert for those who supported her.

That's why she won.

And GWB is the only person in the history of this country who has won the Ames straw poll and then went on to become president.

whilst Ron Paul is sitting in his White living house workplace chair, the media will nevertheless be undesirable mouthing Ron Paul, they're suffering to repair this election as they have interior the previous, they're assembly the contest of the american peoples will, it somewhat is obvious, The media has a job to propel the enterprise candidate of the determining on of insiders interior media networks, there has been whistle blowers that divulged this preparation interior the previous, a number of people who talked formally worked for FOX, ask your self, ask your self, they have been advised by utilising their editors precisely what to record, despite if it meant telling lies or deceiving the same old public, staring at what is going on interior the media proper now might have repercussions in destiny years on the credibility of ALL media merchants around the board. Ron Paul is maximum well known, they desire Mitt too lead.... they're injecting their will at Iowans, permit's desire Iowans stand their floor and stand at the back of something of united statesa., we are all staring at very heavily.

No. He is still the front runner, this is more like giving the candidates a ego boost or in Romney's case, a clue to do more in his campaign.

Only to the straw people who vote.

No. Romney won the poll 4 years ago. He didn't even win the Iowa caucus a few months later.

You can bet that Michele is going to celebrate by letting Big Gay Fabulous Marcus tear that thing up all night.

Or not.

Polls don't matter. Votes do.

NO. Neither does Obamas' multi-BILLION dollar campaign dinners he is having.

Votes do.
