Giuliani got 362? Is this straw poll backwards land?

This time of year 4 years ago, Giuliani was leading in the GOP national polls.

[muzzled dogg]

[Aratus]

this could be like the fish fry all over again, shemdogg!

[Aratus]

four weeks to go!

[MJU1983]

anyone from missouri going?

I want to go, do men go to these things? My Congressman (woman) will be there.

I am emailing them to let them know they link to a grassroots website for Dr. Paul instead of his campaign site. According to this (http://www.nfrw.org/documents/convention/2011/strawpoll.pdf), the Straw Poll vote is Saturday October 1st.

Maybe I'm just tired but I'm having a hard time finding out how to just participate in the Straw Poll. The overall event seems very expensive.

[trey4sports]

shit, didn't hear about this. I will for sure find a way to get there.

EDIT: @ 500 bucks and all the way across the state i might have to pass on this. Will post on FB though.

[muzzled dogg]

yeah do what you can to get the word out

[Aratus]

yes, get the word out!

[ThinkUSA]

Lol, I know seriously. This area where the polling was conducted is probably from the movie House of Wax with Paris Hilton. Lol

[Aratus]

seriously?

[konstl]

It costs $565. Should I start a chip in? LOL.

I don't run in those type of circles... I don't know anyone that can fork out that much money for an event. sorry.

[Lets_Race]

I am also discouraged by the $565 registration fee.

[Aratus]

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – In a presidential straw poll taken at the National Federation of Republican Women’s (NFRW) 36th Biennial Convention on Oct. 1, Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain took a near-majority of the vote.

Cain received 48.9 percent of the 505 total votes cast, with Rick Perry placing a distant second and Mitt Romney placing third. The poll featured nine Republican presidential candidates.

“In a straw poll with this many candidates on the ballot, it is unusual for one candidate to receive almost half of the votes,” said Karen Floyd, former chair of the South Carolina Republican Party and publisher of PalladianView.com, which conducted the poll. “It is very impressive.”

Straw poll voters consisted of Republican women activists from 41 states who were registered to attend the NFRW’s convention. “This straw poll is significant because the voters are Republican women from across the nation who are extremely active and influential in their states and communities,” NFRW President Sue Lynch said.

Following is the breakdown of the vote:

Herman Cain – 48.9%************ ***********
Rick Perry – 14.1%
Mitt Romney – 13.3%*********************** *
Newt Gingrich – 12.5%
Rick Santorum – 6.9%***********************
Michele Bachmann – 1.4%****************
Ron Paul – 0.6%********************************
Gary Johnson – 0.4%
Jon Huntsman – 0.2%************************
Undecided – 1.8%

Each of these presidential candidates was invited to address the NFRW convention, which was held in Kansas City Sept. 29-Oct. 2. Cain, Gingrich and Santorum accepted the invitation and spoke on Oct. 1.

Full straw poll results are available at www.nfrw.org/documents/convention/2011/pollresults.pdf.

Founded in 1938, the NFRW has thousands of active members in local clubs across the nation and in several U.S. territories, making it one of the largest women’s political organizations in the country. The grassroots organization works to promote the principles and objectives of the Republican Party, elect Republican candidates, inform the public through political education and activity, and increase the effectiveness of women in the cause of good government.

When do the men have their straw poll? Maybe Ron will do better in theirs.
