The question becomes does that translate into votes on election day? I'm not that impressed by any straw poll today or even one two months prior to the election. Name recognition, attendees, etc determine straw poll winners and do not necessarily represent the voting populace come election day. Lots of water to flow under the bridge before a choice will be made.

Then start thinking NOW of Iowa and New Hampshire.

Yep that is for sure. Ma Palin has somewhat of an advantage in that she was McCain’s VP pick. But she will still have to put in the time in those first states if she chooses to get into the race. I think I read somewhere that McCain spent many weekends of the year prior to the NH primary in that state visting one on one with the voters. That is what it takes apparently to win up there.
