    And speaking of . . . (none / 0) (#10)
    by Kevin Rex Heine on Tue Aug 16, 2011 at 04:55:37 PM EST
    . . . the paulbots, let me point out something.

    As of the writing of this comment, 119 total votes have been cast in the online poll over on the right.  109 of those votes (91% of the total) have gone to "congressman straw poll" himself.  However, earlier this morning, Real Clear Politics released a new bi-weekly average, and even though I'm not thrilled with where my candidate-of-choice is sitting, I know that the RCP Average is a fairly reliable poll track.

    If those RCP numbers were to be applied to our online poll, then the current track would look like this:

    • Michele Bachman (Minnesota) - 9.6% ≈ 11 votes
    • Herman Cain (Georgia) - 5.0% ≈ 6 votes
    • Newt Gingrich (Georgia) - 5.0% ≈ 6 votes
    • Jon Huntsman (Utah) - 2.2% ≈ 3 votes
    • Thaddeus McCotter (Michigan) - 0.0% ≈ 0 votes
    • Ron Paul (Texas) - 8.8% ≈ 10 votes
    • Rick Perry (Texas) - 18.4% ≈ 22 votes
    • Mitt Romney (Massachusetts) - 20.2% ≈ 24 votes
    • Rick Santorum (Pennsylvania) - 1.8% ≈ 2 votes
    • none of the above / someone else - 12.3% ≈ 15 votes

    Now, I don't think that Mittens would actually score that high here, but I think you get my point.
