[edit] Inclusion

I don't dispute the notability of this article since it's been referenced in major news media, but given the recent popularity of straw polls in general as part of the campaign process, would it be better to have a List of straw polls, List of United States presidential straw polls or something similar?

Agreed. I believe the Ron Paul campaign has a lengthy list of straw polls across the nation. I'll have to check. Creton4 20:17, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

How about leaving the separate pages with a summary article as Creton4 says? But not title it "List of", as that implies no results. Korky Day 20:05, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

You're right there. I don't know how to tackle this, but it would be useful to have an article with straw poll results and maybe even a running tally. Before this election cycle the Ames Straw Poll was the only one I'd ever heard of, but now every candidate's campaign seems to list 50 straw polls where they won. :) Narco 22:59, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
