Okay, good. Too bad this Iowa straw poll doesn’t mean much. Romney was a loser there in ‘08 also.

I'd like an honest answer.

If Palin were a candidate and had won, would winning this Iowa straw poll mean something?

I support Palin and it would only have meant that Palin would have worked the straw poll... invested a lot of time and money in getting votes out and buying tickets and schmoozing etc... but as far as a reflection of the outcome of the primary process... it would mean exactly what it means today. She would have won a “buy the vote” process at a Iowa Republican Party fund raiser... and there is nothing wrong with that... but straw polls are not scientific... not reflective of reality and Robert's Rules of Order hold straw polls in great disdain... and the UN has one before they elect any new Secretary General.
