Fellow blogger, Bryan Myrick, has an excellent post on an early straw poll in Washington state.  He reports that current Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels came out on top of a poll taken at the Roanoke Conference in Ocean Shores, Wash. on Sunday.

Daniels pulled 31 percent of votes cast, more than twice the count of the next highest vote-getter, (Mitt) Romney, who won 14 percent. Completing the top five were former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty (13 percent), New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (9 percent), and South Dakota Sen. John Thune (8 percent).

The poll was conducted in a caucus format in which candidates were announced and individuals were allowed to make short endorsement speeches from the floor. Small groups discussed the pros and cons of specific individuals after which discussion votes were cast and counted.
