So when Ron Paul actually loses a straw poll, they become important? When he wins they’re of marginal to no importance?

I can believe the idea that supporters are digging into their own pockets to buy signs and buttons etc. RP supporters are the most enthusiastic so far.

Yes I guess it’s based upon what side of the fence one sits. These polls are all over the place in how they are conducted, who can vote, how the candidates can spend money on them, etc. Thus the results reflect the abilities of each candidate and his supporters in that particular type arena.
