Florida's GOP may replace troublesome early presidential primary with straw poll

MiamiHerald.com:
"Look out Iowa, South Carolina and New Hampshire. Republicans in the nation's biggest swing state are preparing to weigh in on their party's presidential nominee as early as fall 2011.

The concept: a non-binding Florida straw poll at a massive event billed as ``Presidency V,'' which would also feature a nationally televised presidential debate. The plan, still in its infancy, enjoyed wide support from Republican Party of Florida leaders at its quarterly meeting last weekend."

If I had a vote, I'd pull the lever for no more easily purchased, meaningless straw polls.
