A total of 399 people from across Idaho participated.
“The Idaho Republican Party congratulates Congressman Ron Paul on his straw poll victory tonight,” Chairman Norm Semanko said in a press release late Friday.
The results from tonight’s straw poll:
Ron Paul – 173 (44%)
Mitt Romney – 135 (34%)
Newt Gingrich – 47 (12%)
Rick Santorum – 40 (10%)
Jon Huntsman – 4 (1%)
Rick Perry's campaign asked not to be included on straw poll ballot.

"Rick Perry's campaign asked not to be included on straw poll ballot"

First I lol'd. Then I started to wonder of the absence of Rick Perry creates positive numbers for Paul.

Could be why rick stayed in the race. So his support didn't pour over to RP after dropping out creating a HUGE surge in the latest polls.

None of the candidates have signed up for Idaho either - I'm sure they will soon though.
