U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, won the Jefferson County Republican Party's straw poll for president, held Saturday at the Birmingham Zoo.

Paul took 115 votes of 199 for about 57 percent of total ballots cast.

Jefferson County is where Birmingham is located and many leading GOP politiicans, Betty Fine Collins (sp?) spoke at the poll. This was a major blow-out for the Paul forces. It is remarkable that native son, Fred Thompson did so poorly.

At the zoo? How appropriate.

It seems he locked up the jackass, chimp, and ape vote. All the doves voted for him , too.

[Captain Kirk]

I think you just won the sore loser prize. Do you also overturn checker games when you don’t win?

[desherwood7]

Ron Paul takes Fred Thompson’s home county? This will hurt the Thompson campaign.

“held Saturday at the Birmingham Zoo.”

The jokes just about write themselves.

LoL!

Ron Turd only won because of the baboon vote. The chimpanzee and orangutan vote were split.

held Saturday at the Birmingham Zoo.

You would have thought that they would let Ron Paul out of the zoo on weekends, at least.

Breaking news! Ron Paul wins the straw at the zoo!

Onlookers were hoping he would gather up all the animal droppings when he leaves with his straw....detals at 11

[Nathan Zachary]

How does someone that shows as 1% (within -1% or+ 1% error) be said to be “winning”?

[Mr Rogers]

I haven’t been so impressed since Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize.

"at the Birmingham Zoo.. Paul took 115 votes of 199"

That's some revolution. I better go move my car!

This reminds me of the iced tea socials of Catherine Harris.

She won those too...

Ru-paul is a surrender monkey no different than a rat,

Hyenas and feces-tossing Gibbons gave the candidate unanimous support.

Gosh - I guess everyone should start referring to him as “President Paul’ from now on.
