[Badger Paul]

RENO, Nev.--(Business Wire)--On Saturday, Republican presidential candidate and Texas
Congressman Ron Paul won the Nevada Republican Assembly's Straw Poll
with 39 percent.

Dr. Paul had more than double the support of John McCain who
received second place with 15 percent of the straw poll vote. Over
ninety people voted in the poll, which was held on Saturday afternoon
on the second day of the Nevada Republican Assembly's Presidential
Endorsing Convention. The straw poll was open to the public.

"Ron Paul supporters showed their dedication by coming out to vote
in the middle of a snow storm," said Jennifer Terhune, a Nevada-based
spokeswoman for the Ron Paul campaign. "Dr. Paul's message of freedom,
peace and prosperity is resonating with Nevadans."

The Ron Paul campaign has over two hundred and thirty registered
volunteers in the Reno area, as well as over six hundred in Las Vegas.

Ron Paul has had other recent straw poll victories in northern
Nevada. He won the Conservative Leadership Conference straw poll last
October with 32% of the vote, and a Washoe County Republican Party
straw poll in the same month with an overwhelming 41% of support from
local Republicans.

Multiple straw poll victories in the same state is good news

I just googled the Iowa straw poll. Interesting in how accurate (some of) it was.

just as a side note....not trying to burst anyones bubbles or anything. Ron Paul supporters are FIERCE supporters. They are going to come out and show up to a straw poll. Dispraportionate to what the masses are feeling. It is a good sign but you have to honestly think about who the folks sittin at home on the couch during that poll are going to vote for.
