NEW ORLEANS -- Mitt Romney won the straw poll at the Southern Republican Leadership conference here Saturday in a victory that will be taken as a sign of the former Massachusetts governor's strength as a 2012 presidential candidate.
That's because the 2008 GOP presidential hopeful elected to skip the conference to continue his book tour.
Romney triumphed by a single vote over Ron Paul, who took second place 439 votes to 438. Both men won 24 percent of the vote. Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich essentially tied for third with 18 percent of the vote each.

Good old Senator Fred Thompson got into the race too late (he had contractual obligations at Law and Order). He did about as well as Governor Willard "Mitt" Romney, which is to say, he wasn't nominated. On the other hand, I don't believe he spent tens of millions of his own money to get there, or did I miss something? Governor Romney has RomneyCare, his religious faith, abortion, RTKBA, racial issues and his general non-conservatism holding him back. As someone who spent half his life in Iowa and it's politics, I'm not very impressed by a straw poll, which is a couple of steps down from an Internet poll like the ones we FReep all the time.
Good Heavens Lady!
LOL!
We've changed so much in the last 1.5 years. Constitutional conservatism is not just an item on the conservative wish list. It's now a fight for the nation's survival. Who will take-up the mantle?
Seek help.
You .. seek some intelligence and quit spouting off ignorance.
Off topic but nothing wrong with us old guys having young wives...
Wow, what an argument.
Mississippi is Republican red state, that doesn't have Romneycare, and yet you call it "podunk."
Where exactly is the ignorance?
Everything I have posted is fact.
Romney continues to praise and take credit for his health care plan that you say is not his.
Maybe you should be telling Mitt he is wrong instead of us.
I think that would give you a better definition of ignorance, yours...
J Doutrider.. hey.. I know that Mitt Romney has a better chance of being President than Fred Thompson... wish others on this site would wake up and smell reality. HELLO>>>>>> anyone out here realize that Fred Thompson will never ever be President of the U.S. of America? Fred did not even come close to Mitt Romney in the last Presidential Primary.. now that he is four years older do you think he has a better chance? Nothing against Fred Thompson.. I like the man, but he ran a horrible campaign and is not even motivated to be President of the USA
the huffington post would probally like romney—try over there, thats were the liberals are..
To johnthebaptistmoore-”John the Bapist Moore .. stuck in Massachusetts with no one to blame but Mitt Romney..how rich.. hows about you blame... the Democratically controlled legislature who pushed that thru, and Patrick Deval..who oversees the Government of Mass now?”
To dr_who-”Dr. Who.. youuuuu.. and all of your Ilk are to blame for Obama being in office, because you are never satisfied, you want some plebian crackerhead to be the President and can not understand why no one will vote for them to be President.”

Hey! Do me next, this is fun, let me be next! Please,please,please?
Of course not...but old guys who have Young wives have to use what limited energy they have just to take care of their Young wives.. Fred Thompson always looks like he could use a Nap.. now we all know why.
Me thinks someone is liquored up and in love.
Mitt is dreamy you know...
Don’t you remember? Mitty pulled over and cried when he heard that blacks could become Mormon priests. Maybe they weren’t tears of joy and relief? ;-)
