    I don't think Daniels is running.

    Does that mean Romney wins by default?

    Am I the only one that thinks this is a little strange?

    What does the State of Washington got in common with Indiana?

    All the other Polls so far that Daniels is included in and he gets in the 1 or 2%.

    This poll is a joke!

    Ann is right. This poll is a joke. Roanoke Conference attendees must not be a good representation of Washington voters.
    Look how far down they have Palin.
