Romney and Ron Paul both buy votes for straw polls. It doesn’t mean anything anyway. I can see some scenarios where Romney could win the nomination but it won’t be the result of the SRLC straw poll or any other straw poll.
Isn’t that precious—and to be expected: Romney’s faith and values committee co-chair lying about giving free vacations to those who would vote their way in a straw poll.
It sure does the way the press picks up and runs with it. It’s giving them a fig leaf with which to try to palm the Naked Emperor Romney statue on Republicans for 2012.
My concern about Romney is that he will get the nomination based on a combination of name recognition and crossover votes from independents and Democrats in the open primary states.
Once again, the Legion of RomneyBOTs are shown to have
absolutely NO morals, NO ethics. NONE. Like their master.
I move we do a “FR” staw poll convention and have these suckers truck in these blocks of tickets.
Dinner will be at a local Dennys, no speeches, and all proceeds go to the FR fundraising.
Straw polls are for the media.
Bill Oreily was gushing about Romney. (I was watching because I saw brit hume in passing the channel) Once I quickly figured out it was just NYC and DC betway disease gushing by insiders I changed the channel to the far more interesting “watch lawn growing” channel.

That’s a very fair concern, and that’s the kind of voter who gets influenced by the press—which, again, uses a straw poll to willfully misrepresent his strength.
Chill out. It’s only a straw poll. And it’s a little hypocritical coming from a “conservatives for Palin” blog since she also handed out gifts at the conference. Maybe instead of trashing Romney they should spend more time supporting Palin so she can do better next time.
Truly vile.
Here is video evidence of romney supporters “buying” votes at the conference:

Someone arrest them! /s
geeeeeeeeez this crap is getting old folks.
You are so right.
This crap is getting old, folks.
Romney must remove himself from contention. Immediately.
And he must sack, fire, and expose all of the saboteurs
who attacked Gov. Palin and her children on the eve
of Election 2008.
It’s too bad Palin, who apparently made $12 million in the last year, didn’t think to reward her supporters with tickets to this event. :-)
Interesting home page you have there...I especially like the picture of Mitt sneaking up behind Sarah's back that's lumped in with the Mitt adoration.
Why am I NOT surprised PING
