It appears someone doesn’t understand the Iowa Straw Poll..

You print Iowa Straw Poll ballots and you hand them to your supporters that you paid for tickets to attend the event.

If you don’t print ballots or pay the entrance fee for your supporters to attend, obviously you don’t get votes.

Now do you understand why this is a meaningless vote?

Mitt finished 1st in 2008. No candidate who has finished less then 2nd has ever won the nomination. It not me that does not understand the significance of this event.

Spin all you want, this indicates that Romney does NOT have the grass roots support the GOP Establishment bots are claiming for him. Finishing this poorly indicates Mitt is in very serious trouble.
