Had Palin of a similar candidate won the straw poll the crowd here would be crowing about the will of the people. The moaning and gnashing about the Romney campaign doing the same is foolish. It’s what campaigns do.

As for the tired cliche about the press picking the candidate, what was the option? Romney won, and the press reported it. If someone else wants to be president they better get to work. But that doesn’t appear to be happening.

No they don't, only Ron Paul/Romney types would pull these kind of degrading, dishonest stunts.

This is just like Romney's manipulation of the image of his weak book sales that the New York Times had to tag with two daggers.

I don't recall the media letting fake straw polls help advance a conservative in the news.

No they don't, Governor Palin's campaign didn't buy votes like Myth Romney's or Ron "I'm a NutJOb" Paul so apparently you don't know what you are talking about.

You apparently approve of Romney cheating now,
and backstabbing of Gov. Palin and her children,
during Election2008.

Hmmmmmm. Why?
