It has been going around the Internet. Basically, claiming that Ron Paul bought tickets and passed them out, kind of how Bachmann did in Iowa.
"Congressman Paul has a following which is notorious for their incredibly effective organizational skills and ability to turn out straw poll votes.
Update (Ed): I attended the post-poll press conference, and to say that the Values Voters Summit organizers are skeptical of Paul’s win is an understatement.
Tony Perkins twice noted that 600 tickets were bought this morning, and that a great many people left after Paul’s speech.
The conference sold 3406 registrations, well over their 2007 record of around 2700.
If half of those 600 were Paul ringers and we take them out of the equation, then Cain would have finished first, 27/26 with Santorum at 19%.
If 80% of today’s registrants were Paul ringers and are removed, Cain would have had 32% of the vote, followed by Santorum at 23% and Perry in third place with 12%. Just something to keep in mind."
I am a Ron Paul supporter, first and foremost, I would just like to know if anyone else is coming across this? And is it true?
Thanks!
