A blogger reports the overwhelming support for the Florida Straw Poll in St. Petersburg, Florida and accuses Mitt Romney of cheating. I must say the results of this straw poll are indeed strange in that both Romney and Paul are way ahead of the rest by a margin of 10:1. This is understandable for Paul because one can see that Ron Paul supporters turned out en masse. So this leaves the question where did all the votes for Mitt Romney come from?
The results are in from the rained out "Have Your Say Tampa Bay" straw poll and debate watch rally:
Romney 893; Paul 534; Giuliani 39; Huckabee 37; Thompson 21; McCain 12; Hunter 4; Keyes 2; Tancredo 1.
This includes several videos of the event (see bottom) as evidence.

From Florida Supporter:
This isn't going to be extremely long and detailed, because I just don't have the time right now BUT....
Last night I drove down to St. Petersberg, Florida for the youtube/CNN debate. (which sucked by the way, because they are COMPLETELY BIASED, it was more like the Ghoooliani/Romney hour)....anyway.....
They were having a GOP bar-b-que and straw poll a couple hours before the debate started. I really wanted to vote in this "official" straw poll because they always seem to skew it and I wanted Ron to get as many votes as possible. HOW RIGHT I WAS......
Some of you might be shocked by this, others won't be, but either way you need to know what was going on down there.
1st I want to make one thing very clear. RON PAUL OWNED ST. PETERSBERG!!!!! I mean this very literally when I say there was NO other signs in the entire city for ANY other candidate besides Ron Paul. ONLY in a little piece of grass by the water, in which they were doing the straw poll, did Romney or Ghooliani have any signs. And even there those were lost in a sea of bright blue Ronnies!!!
There was 3....THREE!!!!!! airplanes flying over head with different Ron Paul messages. HUGE banners with Ron Pauls portrait hanging from the sides of buildings. Hundreds of supporters EVERYWHERE waving signs and wearing Ron Paul clothing. The fact of the matter is, there just wasn't any support for any other candidate! Literally. NONE!!!!
SO.....at the straw poll of course there were just hundreds of Ron Paul supporters. He was winning by a landslide. THEN we noticed Mitt Romney had set up a little table and was passing out tickets by the dozens. Now you have to realize that it was $20 a ticket, so the Romney camp must have shelled out the big bucks because they had two bags FULL of tickets that they were giving them to their few supporters MULTIPLE TIMES!!!!!!
I WANT EVERYONE TO UNDERSTAND THIS>>>>>>>
MULTIPLE TIMES!! YES! You heard right. Mitt Romneys camp was blatantly getting people to vote multiple times and the local GOP did NOTHING to stop them. I watched it all with my own eyes, otherwise I would not be writing this right now. THAT IS THE AMERICA WE ARE LIVING IN FOLKS!!!!
They just don't care about any kind of democratic process. It only mattered that Mitt come out on top. When they saw Ron Paul would win by a landslide, they had to do something. Only thing to do though was cheat. And they obviously had no problem doing that. It was truly unbelievable. We were all in shock!
So in closing......this might sound kind of depressing, but it's really nothing new. I think we are all on the same page about this stuff. Last night for me though was extremely encouraging because I now know, With 100% certainty. EVERY bone in my body. Deep in my gut. That on Feb. 5 and the other Primary dates, the biased media and the sheep people of our country are going to be ASTONISHED!
They still don't get it! They don't comprehend the fact that they DON'T HAVE ANY SUPPORT. THERE WAS NO SUPPORT BASE FOR ANY OTHER CANDIDATE IN THE ENTIRE CITY OF ST. PETERSBERG. Ron Paul is going to start winning folks. I'm sure of it.
TAKE HEART EVERYONE! YOUR WORK HAS NOT BEEN IN VAIN!!!! This movement is taking over. I saw it with my own eyes last night in St. Pete.
There is nothing they can do about it!
LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the fourth video when the camera guy says "one vote per person, not one vote per ticket" the lady who just got her tickets quickly puts them under her arm to conceal she knew what she was doing was wrong, this is telltale.
This videos shows how big the support for Ron Paul was:
