Ron Paul routinely wins straw polls and comes within 5 points of Obama nationally.
And this means exactly jack ****. You remember the '08 Paul campaign? And if you're going by straw poll results, you'd have to argue that Bachmann has a real shot at securing the nomination, which is looney tunes.
Perry, by the way, is totally electable. Those controversial statements everyone's talking about- secession, bashing the Fed chairman- are critical and fringe enough to secure the crazy Tea Party constituency over Romney, but not too extreme to cost him many moderates (because he'll likely downplay them come general election time).
