Holy crap! I never thought in a million years I would see the US entirely red...especially after Bush being blamed for everything from 9/11 to raising gas prices. At a minimum I thought he would have won CA...probably even MA, OR, and NY...but nothing is freekin rediculous...

While I pray that this is true and that this will be the outcome in November I am not letting my guard down one damn bit and still campaigning very hard for McCain to ensure that he wins this fall. A President Obama would be totally disastrous for this nation.

Although I have some reservations about Senator McCains political leanings, I am very happy with the results of this straw poll.

Hmmmm after taking the straw poll and I don't believe in the accuracy of a straw poll either. I am still just as confused as before. I am not happy with either candidate however I think I must take the lesser on two "evils"


A straw poll or straw vote is a vote with nonbinding results. Straw polls provide important interactive dialogue among movements within large groups, reflecting trends like organization and motivation.[1][2] In meetings subject to rules of order, impromptu straw polls often are taken to see if there is enough support for an idea to devote more meeting time to it, and (when not a secret ballot) for the attendees to see who is on which side of a question. However, Robert's Rules of Order prohibits straw polls, calling them "meaningless and dilatory."[3] Among political bodies, straw polls often are scheduled for events at which many people interested in the polling question can be expected to vote. Sometimes polls conducted without ordinary voting controls in place (i.e., on an honor system, such as in online polls) are also called "straw polls".
