Former state Rep. Kelda Roys was the surprise winner of a straw poll held at the state Democratic convention over the weekend. A March poll showed she had just 0.3 percent support in a broad field of candidates. State schools Superintendent Tony Evers, who led that March poll at 18 percent, came in third in the straw poll with 11.5 percent of the 789 ballots.
What does that mean going forward? According to some pundits, maybe not much.
On Sunday’s episode of WKOW-TV’s political talk show “Capital City Sunday,” two guests, one conservative and one liberal, cautioned against putting too much stock in the straw poll. One added that he doesn’t buy into the “blue wave” either.
“Most candidates will say, what’s the residual of that vote? Probably not much. So, it was a fun thing at the convention and we’ve got to move on,” said Brandon Scholz, a lobbyist and Republican strategist.
“The Democratic convention is not going to change a single strategy point for a single candidate, in my opinion,” said Scot Ross, executive director of the liberal group One Wisconsin Now.
