Really? Can you provide two or three examples? In March, Romney finished in second place in the Southern Republican Leadership Conference Straw Poll. The event was held in Tennessee and Bill Frist won the poll simply for that reason. However, Romney was the real winner by finishing well ahead of the rest of the field.

Straw polls are nothing more than a beauty contest. Doesn't mean he can win real polls once the long knives are unsheathed. He may be capable of winning, but it doesn't mean he will be a good president. MHO, he doesn't have the spinal capacity to be a good or effective president.
