Ron Paul winning all these straw polls makes no sense. What’s with this?

Straw Polls just poll the number of fanatics who care enough to show up at a certain place at a certain time.

They are as relevant to the Real World as polls at a Star Trek Convention asking if Klingons or Romulans are better fighters in a war in outer space.

I attended the summit. Ron Paul has a cult following--a real, no-kidding, bow-down-and-worship cult following. His disciples were everywhere. They can easily control the results at a venue of this size, and they did.

I voted for Santorum. He worked the summit hard and his family helped him. He was impressive. I wish he could get some traction.

He energizes his supporters because he has solutions to problems that have been plauging the country for the past 40 years. And, he has been saying the same things for almost the same amount of time:
