Mitt’s just stealing a play from Ron Paul’s playbook, which is pack the voting with your supporters who are there for no other reason than to vote for you in these dumb straw polls.
Didn’t Ron Paul win it last year?
Romney won the CPAC straw vote in 2007, 2008 and 2009.
Ron Paul won in 2010 and 2011.
It doesn’t seem to merit the attention it gets.
