Comments have been made regarding the questioning the validity of Straw Polls (as hosted by such groups as the Southern Leadership Conference and the Florida Policy Institute).
Doctor Ben Carson is "not" my choice for the 2016 GOP Nomination (although I admire him, and recommend that ALL watch his movie on Netflix).
I also admire (as Patton admired Rommel) the superb "military grade" victory that Ben Carson's TEAM won in Oklahoma.
Here's a "brutal and frank" heads-up for Ted Cruz's supporters.

Press Release : 2015-05-22
Ted Cruz 2016 Florida Grassroots Victory Campaign
Subject: Ted Cruz VICTORY in Florida GOP Straw Poll Vote
U.S. Senator Ted Cruz won an AMAZING victory at last night’s “Florida Family Policy Council” GOP Presidential Straw Poll in Orlando (Maitland), Florida.
Ted Cruz SURPRISES the GOP Beltway Establishment Pundits at the FFPC Florida Straw Poll (May 19, 2015) in Orlando, Florida.
A virtual dead-heat between Ted Cruz (30.3 %) and supposed "Florida native son darling" Marco Rubio (30.7 %).
Jed Bush and Scott Walker shared third-place with a paltry 8.9 % each, barely passing an otherwise weak showing by Rick Santorum (6.7 %), Rand Paul (4.5 %), Ben Carson (3.4 %), Mike Huckabee (2.2 %) and Rick Perry (1.1 %).
GOP 2016 candidates Chris Christie, Carly Fiorina, Lindsey Graham, Bobby Jindal, and John Kasich each received "zero" straw poll votes.
Political analysts view this straw poll victory for Senator Ted Cruz as reinforcing the idea that America's Conservative voters are deciding very early on to consolidate behind the best qualified genuine conservative candidates, and NOT repeat the disaster of the "Political Circular Firing Squad" in 2012 when Mitt Romney and the Karl Rove Establishment GOP defeated in detail otherwise excellent candidates such as Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum.
Shown above (photograph courtesy of conservative political consultant Kevin Wright) are ten of the estimated twenty-five Ted Cruz Florida grassroots supporters who attended the FFPC event.
Their attendance was noteworthy in that most of the Ted Cruz attendees received only three days advance notice of the event.
Douglas Coggeshall, a Conservative Evangelical Christian who is building a Florida grassroots organization for all of Florida's 67 counties, challenged the FFPC event's attendees to build effective county-level grassroots organizations NOW, to defeat the Jeb Bush GOP $ 100 million dollar juggernaut in the GOP Presidential State primaries in 2016.
Coggeshall invited event attendees to participate in the July 18 Tampa planning meeting for the Ted Cruz Florida Grassroots Victory Campaign.
The Florida Family Policy Council (FFPC) event was superbly moderated by John Stemberger (Florida attorney) who presented a comprehensive examination of individual candidate strengths and weaknesses prior to the straw poll vote. Discussion leads included Carl Stevens, Sara Johnson, Florida Senator Alan Hayes, Bryan Empric, Karin Hoffman and Pastor Kurt Kelly.
Discussion leaders Carl Jackson (columnist) and Karin Hoffman (Tea Party national leader) pointed to Ted Cruz's extraordinary record of accomplishment while serving as U.S. Senator, and his unique quality of NOT having "flip-flopped" on any campaign issues, unlike GOP 2016 presidential candidates Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Mike Huckabee, Rand Paul, Ben Carson, Rick Santorum, Scott Walker.
Florida State Senator Alan Hayes received a standing ovation as the Florida Family Policy Council (FFPC) recognized his accomplishments and dedication to successfully passing legislation to protect unborn children in Florida.
Sen. Hayes’ powerful leadership in the Florida Pro-Life movement was enthusiastically applauded.
