I don't understand why some state straw polls are more important than others. Even it has to do with electoral college votes, they shouldn't be completely dismissed.

Was this Straw Poll taken by the state Republican party or what?

3rd place with a guy in 2nd who isn't even running and Mitt Romney who apparently had some staff help people get there.

Not too bad!

It's a Republican poll. That's a factor as to why there was only 992 votes.
