Ron Paul received 216 votes for a commanding first-place finish in a straw poll today sponsored by the West Alabama Republican Assembly. Mitt Romney came in second with 14 votes.
The poll was open to Alabama residents.

Here is how the post was headlined 10 minutes ago; I see it has now been changed to “Alabama” from “Iowa”.
““Ron Paul Wins Big in Iowa (Landslide Republican Victory””
Iowa is not Alabama..
WARNING, WARNING, WARNING!
The Dems are setting the scene for another Perot like Clinton win. Repubs don’t fall for it again. IIt will result in 8 yeays of Hill n Bill.
Here is what it looked like before the mods corrected it:
Currently taking wagers that Ron Paul doesn’t get over five percent in any GOP primary next year.
Any takers Ronulans?
“Ron Paul received 216 votes”
Just how small is this group that held the straw poll?
“““Ron Paul Wins Big in Iowa (Landslide Republican Victory”””
So now I am curious Kirk, why did you put the word Iowa in your original post in place of Alabama?
It hardly could have been an accident...
Where is Alabama???
The turnout speaks volumes about the lack of enthusiasm of those who supported candidates other than Ron Paul.. They cared so little about voting for their candidates that they didn’t bother to show up at this official Republican forum. This straw was widely advertised and open to all Republicans in the state, including a front page article in the Tuscaloosa News. Despite this, they couldn’t get off their butts. Perhaps those who care so little about attending should be criticized, rather than those who showed up.
Gosh....I made a typo and said Iowa instead of Alabama. Gee whiz, it wasn’t on purpose. I know, of course, that those who criticize never, ever make mistakes.
Well, they don’t put the wrong state in a title. That’s pretty major.
A: The spammer would be in jail thanks to laws passed by the GOP.
The item at the Paulie site was amazingly brief and incredibly short on details. It doesn’t tell how many voted—or anything else.
It was accident, combined with senility in old age. What possible conspiratorial motive could I have had to make it up, especially since the body of the story dealt with Alabama? Then again, it could have all been part ot of a diabolical Paulite plan to convince others than we are not as intenet savy as our reputations.
Seriously, it was just a garden variety mistake by an oldster. I know, of course, that you never make mistakes...so you might not understand.
266 total voted. Next question?
Wrong. Ron Paul isn't going to run as an independent or 3rd party candidate. But if the GOP and their brainwashed, slack-jawed supporters keep trashing him and his dedicated supporters, they're not going to vote for the Republican nominee in the general.
“266 total voted. Next question?”
I have one. Isn’t there a larger, more well known Republican group that can run a straw poll in a conservative state like Alabama?
How about a link? Thanks.
Well....Clara, I salute you as the only person alive today who never made a "major" mistake. You really should run for president with that kind of stellar record. The last person who could make the same claim died 2000 years ago. BTW, I loved watching you on the Andy Griffith show. I, of course, was on another network at that time.

You've been spending way too much time with Paul supporters.
