Straw poll rules, questions

WisPolitics is conducting a straw poll at both party conventions this year. Results from the GOP straw poll will be released late Saturday afternoon.

The following are the rules for this year's poll:

-- A list of possible candidates will appear in alphabetical order on a paper ballot for each question. A write-in spot will follow.

-- Delegates, alternates and registered guests are allowed to vote only once.

-- Only ballots with one candidate clearly marked for each question will be counted. Ballots with an illegible write-in name will not be counted. WisPolitics will be the sole judge as to whether a ballot should be counted.

-- The results will be counted by WisPolitics staff and released at www.wispolitics.com on the Saturday of the convention.

WisPolitics did not include the 2010 Senate race against Dem Russ Feingold in this year's straw poll, but plans to ask a question about the potential GOP field at next years' convention.

Here are this year's questions for Republicans:

If a 2010 primary for governor were being held today, which Republican would you choose to be the party's nominee?
-Mark Neumann
-Mark Todd
-Scott Walker
