Ron Paul Wins Another Straw Poll in Nevada

RENO, NV, 10/26/07--For the second time in as many weeks, Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul has won a straw poll in the key primary state of Nevada. In this straw poll held by the local Washoe County Republicans at a caucus training event, Ron Paul beat all other candidates with an overwhelming 41.2% of the vote.

Rudy Giuliani had 18.5% of the vote, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney had 13.5%, and Duncan Hunter came in fourth place with 10.9% of the vote. John McCain was in fifth place with 4.2%. Michele Beard, secretary for the Washoe County Republicans, estimated three hundred people attended the caucus training event.

"It might just be . . . that freedom is popular!" Ron Paul has said in response to questions about his unprecedented grassroots support from around the country. Over fifty thousand people in the United States have joined volunteer Ron Paul organizations to support his bid for the presidency. The ten term congressman from Texas caught the attention of the media earlier this month when his campaign announced that 5 million dollars had been raised in the last quarter.

Ron Paul has also been winning numerous straw polls across the country recently. He has been among the top three candidates in thirty recent major presidential straw polls, and has won fourteen of them.

We did it again...

Remember a month ago when ol' Fred would give RP a run for the money on these straw polls? It's laughable how quickly he crashed and burned. I'm also impressed by Romney's poor showing, considering there's a lot of Mormons around Reno.

This is all great news.

And McCain used to have this election locked.

My friend was in Reno when the Mccain people locked the Ron Paul people out and stole the delegates in 2007.

He was? Did he explain how this happened anyway?

Something along the lines of they literally locked the Ron Paul people out of the building and didnt let them inside.

Wow. The McCain people locked all the Ron Paul people out, then 41.2% of them voted for Ron Paul, and only 4.2% of them voted for McCain.

It's a miracle.
