Alternate NASCAR Straw Poll Scores

[inibo]

This is liable to be messy, but I've included 14 straw polls since March 2 through today. Because I'm including more candidates I'm using 100 as 1st place and decrementing 2. A score of 0 in any given poll means that candidate either wasn't included or, if they were, got no votes.

I'm saying there are four front runners, based on their relatively close scores: Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, Rudy Guilliani (yeah, yeah I know) and Fred. The spread between the highest and lowest of that group is 122 points. McCain, 148 points behind Fred, leads up Tier 2. I'm calling everybody below Newt also-rans.

If you spot any errors or think I should have excluded any particular poll l'll consider your rationale.

Thanks, I'm working on a nicely formated table with links to the sources for the poll information. I may end up dropping a couple of them because the sample size was so small. I'll have it online sometime tomorrow. I need to sleep a little now.

Fiddlesticks. I couldn't wait. Hope I got it right.

There was another straw poll, in Tippecanoe County, Indiana today. Ron Paul tied for 4th with Huckabee. Story here (http://www.jconline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070818/NEWS09/70818008).

How about a simpler rating system? 5 for 1st, 4 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd, 2 for 4th, and 1 for 5th? Placing lower than that isn't worth much.

I'll try to add the new one when it get's light out.

Well, I'm tracking 18 candidates who have gotten at least a few votes in at least one poll. I'm trying not to treat people like they treat us.
