That’s what I mean when I say a four person race.
I guess if you qualified who the 4 are, and what you mean by “race”. The reason these particular 4 people got votes in this particular straw poll is that these particular 4 people are the ones who were on the conference call.
If Santorum had not been on the call, and Ron Paul had been, I’m pretty sure he’d have gotten more votes than Santorum would. People are voting for who they just listened to. Unfortunately, I doubt Michelle is really that close to beating Newt Gingrich in the real world.
