Ouch, Bachmann behind Huntsman.

That said, what is the point of these straw polls? They're never accurate compared to the results of the statewide Republican electorate polls. Why do them?

You're right and regular polls are better measures but when the candidates pay attention to them, they bet prestige on them.  This result is real ugly for Perry given the expectations.  I bet it's less the debate than the merciless press about it (but I say that not having seen the last debate).  And as you say, atrocious for Bachmann too.

Very bad couple days for Perry but of course he can wash his hands of it with a couple good polls.

I remember.  I was sure I won that bet two months ago but what the heck just happened? Cain's fighting back?  Like the St. Louis Cardinals chasing the Braves for that wildcard spot, you're still alive.  Alright, that was unnecessary.  Sorry.

Media's catching up.  Jeepers. Am I seriously losing this bet?

Your luck does seems to be strong this week as you got a little help from the heavens last night, or at least the Astros.  Magic number is two and even if something goes wrong the Red Sox collapse to Tampa Bay is taking the focus off you.  Hm.  There's some Tampa motif here but I can't sort it out.  Good luck.
