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 Sundays episode of WKOW-TVs 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 doesnt buy into the blue wave either.
Most candidates will say, whats the residual of that vote? Probably not much. So, it was a fun thing at the convention and weve 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.

She might have gotten some contribution support that she wouldn't have had
She now has to be at least mentioned in consideration going forward.
