The Washington Post:
"Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) won the Ames Straw Poll on Saturday and former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty has already dropped out of the race after a disappointing third-place finish. While the straw-poll results are an important part of the campaign, they are not always an accurate predictor of the evenual Republican nominee against President Obama.
But how are the candidates faring on an even bigger stage? The Post used three tools to measure which of the candidates participating in the weekend’s straw poll is winning the war for Internet buzz."
