What Does It Mean

Ron Paul Wins Straw Poll At Values Voter Summit : NPR

It is difficult to pin down the Republican electorate right now. It bears mentioning that these straw polls are not official and are populated by political activists. The results when the vote moves to actual voters will be almost certainly a different thing.

We have Ron Paul, a libertarian, and Herman Cain, a staunch social conservative, leading the pack with the presumed front runners, Perry and Romney, trailing far back in the pack. I am not sure what that says about the GOP as a whole but it would seem to mean that voters are not satisfied with the field.

I've been wondering when someone would pull the "Mormonism is a cult" thing out of a drawer. It is no secret that mainstream protestants do not consider Mormons to be Christian. I am curious as to how that is going to be reconciled since Obama's Christian faith was called into question as a decisive factor.
