These straw polls are exactly for that purpose. All primary polls in general, are very unreliable. No one saw janet Reno losing the nomination in 02. Her ideological twin Charlie Crist may well lose in similar fashion. Rank and file Republicans, the kind that actually vote, are fed up with Crist, especially after last night.

Actually, polls showed Reno and McBride in a dead heat about a week before the primary:

New polls show Janet Reno in virtual dead heat in Florida Democratic gubernatorial primary with Bill McBride; her large lead over McBride at start of summer has melted away as he gained support among party establishment, won key endorsements and ran effective advertising campaign; she began limited ad drive only last week

Not that it means anything but I think I have a jpeg of Crist posing with Janet Reno at the keynote speech where Crist said that Judge Greer and Judge Whittemore were his heroes for killing Terri Schiavo.

(Crist's loose lips sink ships.)

He sticks his foot in his mouth quite often. I'm hoping he'll do it again at the next televised debate.
