A reminder as the NY Times home page ballyhoos the results of the CPAC straw poll: Democrats have discouraged straw polls since the 1980s because they are such a flawed measure of anything. I know because I wrote a 1983 Newsweek straw poll piece hailing Alan (yikes) Cranston. — PolitiTweet.org

@FeasterFamine But my piece based on a dubious Wisconsin Straw Poll all but proclaimed that Cranston had the 1984 nomination in the bag. I have been embarrassed by that piece for 37 years. — PolitiTweet.org
