Ohio Republican Party donors and other attendees at the state GOP's dinner tonight picked former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in a straw poll to take on President Barack Obama in 2012. Romney finished comfortably ahead of the Republican field, picking up 25 percent of the vote. When state party chairman Kevin DeWine announced Romney as the winner, a few people in the audience booed. Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty (16 percent) finished second, followed by U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann (15 percent).

See, that’s the problem. We Tea Party members need to be constantly working to take over the state Republican organizations. Our TP is doing just that. May take a few years, but that’s our goal. Our fearless TP leader has already become a member of the Executive Committee of the GOP, and I am attending their meetings (they said they were open). So we are learning how to take over. Please Freepers get on the inside where things can be changed.

Even Roger Ebert concedes that almost 200 people saw The Undefeated at noon today in Chicago

200 in a city of almost 3 million? I don't think I'd be bragging about, or even mentioning, that.

More denizens of Chicago will have been mugged before midnight.

Ditto - but then I saw they were “Republican Party donors” and it was held in Cleveland - so that means they are establishment RINO types I don’t know any of them that I’m aware of so it kinda makes sense.

Thanks, that says a lot! We need to weed out the GOP!

You both missed the point it seems....Michele Freakin Bachmann had less than 200

That`s the freakin embarassment

Great Report!

The GOP has very little to do with it. It's the current ignorance of voters that is to blame. It's also how we got McNuts in ‘08.

While the base was ripping each others throats out over Thompson, Huckinschmuck and Hunter (with a few Paultards thrown in.) McCrazy slipped in through the moderate/independent back door.

This “conspiracy” insanity is getting old. (Again!)

Better get used to it little boy, because it isn't going anywhere as long as you liberal groin leeches continue to nurse.
