SRLC: Mitt Romney’s Surprising Victory
While straw polls are rarely meaningful, especially ones that take place 20 months before an election, Mitt Romney must be feeling pretty good right now.
Consider this: a Yankee governor from the state that saddled America with Ted Kennedy, with little name recognition, comes to the South and Midwest and wowed everyone to the point where he took second in a straw poll. Further, he bested popular candidates that have high name recognition in the South and Midwest: Arizona Sen. John McCain and Virginia Sen. George Allen.
Impressive.
