The straw poll was open to all voting age adults regardless of party affiliation...

I wonder how many democrats voted in this poll.

I don’t know how many Dems voted in this poll. I am sure some did but I am also sure that quite a number of Dems would vote for Ron Paul over Hillary.

The Republican Party must attract independants and conservative Democrats in order to win this election. From what I see of the other candidates, not many independants would vote for a Bush clone and conservative Republicans are upset at the growth of government and might stay home. That plus the unhappiness with the war, tells me that Hillary would win unless the GOP picks someone who is against policing the world such as Ron Paul.

There you have it. Until rp apologizes for blaming us for 9-11 he will never be a contender in the repub party.

Note that the article compared the Republican boot to that of the Democrats, which was virtually empty. Might I suggest...?

So do i. Seems that the liberal RINO former mayor of New York scored way too high for there to be only Republicans voting in that straw poll.
