Romney wasn’t there and didn’t even have a tent space/booth there. So why would you expect him to win?
Oh well I did not know about the tent thing, but I thought that since everyone considered him a frontrunner that he would win the straw poll, but I Guess after he did so poorly at the debate people did not vote for him.
I would expect him to have a chance at winning because he and his views are already well known, but that's with the assumption the voters there agreed with his views. They didn't.
Neither was Perry and He got 700 write in Votes!
