Those straw polls are rigged because Ron Paul and Mitt Romney bus in their groupies, pay their lodging and pay their admission.
I keep wondering why some of the others with their PACs don’t tap into this younger crowd and get them onboard like Paul does. They can be hard workers and don’t need a lot of extras.
That's a good question. If another campaign had broken 10% in the voting, that campaign's success would be news. CPAC may not represent the votes that will actually be cast, but CPAC is a test of organization. The failure of other campaigns to build organization is telling.
