After Cain's win in Florida, I've pretty much decided that straw polls stink at determining a winner, but this I'm not surprised about.

Cain finishes third, Bachmann with less than 5% and McClotter doesn't even get 1%.  Kind of interesting.  But I'm with Scott on the straw polls.

McCotter already dropped out, so he did even worse than he otherwise would have.

Well, anything below 50% would be a failure, so nos surprises there. Otherwise bad result for Bachmann, not that bad for Perry.
