and have you people who really don't have much of a shot at winning the presidency, winning the nomination or the ames straw pollcaine, santorum, paul, they might, as you said, want to put something into the discussion that might be further right. so you will have to see how the candidates who do have a chance of viability in a general election like mitt romney or tim paw looent, how do they engage with that. do they feel pressure to go a little to the right or do they feel like they want to stake out a more centrist, a center right position, with an eye really toward the general election. >> governor romney, has the problem of being the front-runner even though perry and other -- well, perry and palin, if in fact some people think she is still coming in, consider the top ten, they're not there. so he has the problem jill that if somebody wants to move to the right, based on their belief, based on the sincerity and want to move further than he would want them to move, he loses the crowd but he also says something that could cost him in the general if he is in fact the nominee. how do people prepare him for that

why is this one poll so important when a lot of people say other straw polls are insignificant, don't matter? >> well, hey, good point there. this is nonbinding. candidate, campaigns can pay for their people to come in and vote, so it is not very scientific either. why does it matter? this is like no other straw poll. and, shannon, you know this as well from covering, this is part straw poll, part festival because all the candidates and campaigns have tents around here, free music and entertainment and food. it is also a fund-raiser for the party. but here's why -- besides all that it is so important. it is the first true early test of a campaign's strength, of their grassroots outreach and while it may not anoint anybody in the race for the republican nomination, it could bring some candidates down, knock them out of the race if they don't do well. we have seen that happen in past ames straw polls. fred? >> so, shannon, what is the real atmosphere like? if most people are getting their tickets from a candidate's organization, then clearly, you know, they're surrounded by friends ther
