Bob Goodlatte says that's why political leaders pay close attention to the students' prediction.
This year the mock convention was held earlier in the primary process than usual and the race is extremely close.
Those factors turned up the heat on the student delegates. ((JUSTIN TELTSCHIK/TX STATE CHAIRMAN: EVERYBODY WAS LIKE PRETTY CONFIDENT IT WAS GOING TO BE DOLE.
