He's alive! (The media says this is more bad news for Perry, like Romney wasn't going to win his home state by a wide margin. Pffft!)

There was a straw poll held today? Must have been a secret. Even the Paulbots wern’t there in force.

It was a buy in (candidate bought tix for their supporters) poll in Mackinac (sp?) I think. Mitt’s dad was gov there and Mitt has deep pockets so it really isn’t much of a surprise.

How many home states does Romney have?

In the straw poll, Romney won 50.1 percent of the 681 votes cast compared to 16.8 percent for Perry.
I really hope some other candidates decide to get in this - Palin, Christie, Ryan, Jindal, the more the merrier. Aside from Cain, the current collection is just depressing.
To: Quicksilver
The state he grew up in and in which his daddy was a Senator and failed presidential candidate and auto CEO. Big deal.
He can win Massachusetts and New Hampshire as his home turf, too. And should do well in Utah, Idaho and Nevada due to identity politics.
That ain’t enough to win the nomination.

Romney better win in Michigan, considering his dad was once governor.

Well, there is Mass and Michigan, and I heard he was buying/building a house in California.
And, he will win Utah hands down, because it is in a way a ‘home state’.

Actually, I am surprised. As McCotter pointed out, Michiganders are pretty peeved at Romney for opposing the auto bailouts. But then, this is the GOP, not the average voter.
To: parksstp
Way too expensive.
The ticket itself was over $100, and the transportation costs were extremely high. People estimated it was a $400 weekend.
To: AnotherUnixGeek
Palin is not likely to enter, because it is unlikely she would be elected. Ryan is not running, Christie is a liberal and the conservatives in the party would not vote for him. I wouldn’t. Jindal is not a natural born citizen so he could not run. The Michigan straw Poll doesn’t mean much. Perry still came in ahead of the rest of them. Since this is Romney’s home state, I would be surprised if he didn’t take the lions share.
To: Quicksilver
So, so far there isn’t state where the straw poll winner also won another state? When will Utah hold theirs? It’s time for Huntsman to win, it seems. How about PA? Santorum also needs his turn.

He owns a ranch in Montana with his sons, I think, and a home in Massachusetts and a home in New Hampshire , had not heard of one in California, but he has several adult kids.
