Ames is what it is, the biggie of the straw polls and has been for a few cycles. It’s the one that those who participate in do so as a feather in their campaign strategy should they do well. If they falter then there are consequences also. Sorry you don’t comprehend that.
Romney I hope does fizzle out but it will be further along the campaign trail than Hunter I’m afraid.
Hunter needs a LOT of conservatives to help him if he is to win. Naysaying does nothing to help anyone.
