The Ames straw poll has nothing whatever to do with actual Republican public opinion. Like any other source of hope for Paulistinians, the Ames poll will allow antiwar leftists who have nothing whatever to do with the GOP to pack the hall to cause trouble. College student and faculty leftists, communists, moveon.org types, and other enemies of our country will be out in force. They won’t even have to give up choosing delegates for their favorite red Demonrat. When the delegates are chosen, we shall see the definitive humiliation of paleoPaulie and his love slaves.
