Rep. Michele Bachmann barely beat out Rep. Ron Paul to win the 2011 Iowa Straw Poll. Getting less than half the two top places was former Gov. Tim Pawlenty, and falling even farther behind was former Sen. Rick Santorum.
While the results are non-binding, generally history has shown it to be very difficult to build or keep any momentum if placing less than first or second.
