Despite all the debate surrounding the controversial straw poll in FL, I'm still wondering who would not only attend but also benefit from the exercise in futility. My opinion: Edwards could gain something from the poll and has already been campaigning -

Would Dean take FL as easily as he took Wisconsin or would his declining support - coupled with the success of other campaigns - become evident? Who knows? Maybe Dean is actually growing in support? Or maybe it's hollow support? With all that money, though? Anyway you play it out, Edwards would still, I believe, benefit from the poll. What do you think?
