Lots of falsehoods in that post. Romney paid the fees for the 200 he brought I did not say he paid them.
All the candidates did NOT "do the same". Hunter did not. Rudy did not. I doubt that Tancredo, Huckabee or Brownback did either. Though I don't blame anyone who did.
Rudy's speech was as well received, if not BETTER, than anyone's. His audience was entralled and could have listened twice as long without complaint. Such a LIE discredits your other comments. I saw the speech so I know of what I speak.
Romney would get my vote should he be nominated but I do not believe he will be for many reasons.
"All the candidates did NOT "do the same". Hunter did not."
Go Duncan Go!!!
Seriously, all candidates try to get supporters to straw polls and if they don't or can't, that's their problem. All campaigns have flaks and supporters, but Romney was more visible/energized. These kind of polls help weed out campaigns and campaigners who can't organize well, and I for one think that you can't be a good executive if you can't run a good campaign. We should praise Romney for his strong showing and his organization and not diss him over the 'unfairness' of having supporters who showed up.

ROFLMAO ... I posted/linked to other reporters on this.
Powerline: "Romney has taken plenty of hits lately but today, I think, he produced a hit -- an extra-base hit"
Red State's Erick Erickson: "I have to say that it was a tremendous speech."
And National Review got great vibes from the Romney speech:
- Lopez: "Immediately after his speech, a social-conservative activist who was so not into him said to me 'now that's more like it.'" (Kathryn Jean Lopez, "Romney Reax," National Review, http://corner.nationalreview.com, 3/2/07)
New York Times' Adam Nagourney: "...Mr. Romney arrived to a much more subdued reception but left to a rousing roar of applause." (Adam Nagourney, "Romney And Giuliani Make Pitch To Conservatives," The New York Times, 3/2/07)
There were numerous reports and reactions that indicate Romney hit a home-run with his speech. Please don't call an opinion a "lie" just because you disagree with it.
