I don’t know who took the poll, but I got news for you. At the precinct GOP caucus I attended last Saturday Ron Paul came in dead last with only 2 votes in the straw poll take at the door. Way ahead and in first place was Palin with around 25, and coming in second was Mitt, and Huckabee followed by another six or seven names including McCain. Ron Paul was dead last and lower than McCain, thats how bad he did.
Simple explanation: Your straw poll wasn’t high-profile enough to be overrun with Paulbots.
Will someone PLEASE share with me the so-called “conservative” qualities of Mitt Romney... So far, and based on the 2008 election, all I heard was a bunch of Kerry-esque waffling on issues that are core to Conservatives, and his record was very telling.
So in what ways is Mitt truly “Conservative”?
The crowd was 58% 25 and under in age, of course Ron Paul won!
Yours sounds about right across the board.
