John Cox's Website, your source here, seems to have its facts wrong.
An article at IowaPolitics.com says Romney got a third (33%, or 50 votes) of the 150 or so votes cast. Tommy Thompson got 25 VOTES, not 23 PERCENT, as the Cox spinmeisters are claiming:
"Today marked the former Massachusetts governor's first visit to Winterset of 2007, and it came on the heels of a straw poll victory at last week’s Madison County Fair. More than 150 people voted in the county fair straw poll that Romney won, defeating former Sen. Fred Thompson by a 2-to-1 margin. With 50 votes, Romney captured nearly one-third of the total. Closest to him was the 25 cast for Thompson, who has not officially entered the race."
It goes without saying that this was a totally unscientific poll.
