It’s August of 2011, this doesn’t mean anything. Remember this time four years ago everybody thought the nod was Rudy’s to lose, and then he did. Mitt wasn’t even competing. Votes that matter start in 5 months, everything else is dog and pony.
Mitt finished 1st in the Straw poll in 2008.
I’m calling BS. Mitt Romney, the establishment putz with limitless resources and the backing of powerful DC elitists came in a distant fourth while the staunchest conservative won. This is meaningful.
