Ames, Iowa — Craig Schoenfeld, the Iowa director of Americans for Rick Perry, is dubious that the write-in efforts for Gov. Perry yielded any significant number of votes in today’s straw poll.

He acknowledges that the group has “fielded a few more phone calls” since word got out that Perry would announce today, but doesn’t think the announcement itself impacted voters.

But while Iowa politicos have been abuzz over whether Perry’s announcement today opposite the straw poll will turn-off Hawkeye voters, Schoenfeld says he’s seen no evidence that voters are upset over it.

“The only negative comments we’ve heard have been people associated with other campaigns,” he says.
