LOL! Paul usually does well in these phony, meaningless straw polls.

Oh, hell no. Ron Paul wouldn’t do that.

Huntsman, maybe.

So, Jon Huntsman has a swarmy, spammy fan club of worshipful followers as well?

Who knew?

The paulistinian flying monkeys all swarm these events and skew the numbers in wRONg paul’s favor. Look at other polls and see what his real numbers are, or better yet, look at the results from past primary elections. He’s a kook and his code pinko fag flag burning war protesting traitor squad are kook followers..

I love all the sore losers here. Of course, if Saint Sarah or the Pizza guy had won, they’d be touting this poll as the second coming.

Back before Ron Paul won them, they were the most important political events.

Last year, Romney won by one vote over Paul. It’s was a big deal to the media.

Since the leftist media hates Ron Paul about as much as they hate Palin, they’d rather talk about Huntsman.

Not sore losers, just disgusted with the obvious lack of ethics from the Ron Paul groin leeches.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but IMHO these straw polls mean zip regardless of who “wins”. I could really give a fat rat’s ass what some unknowns in NO vote on or for.

That nutjob reminds me of that Saturday Night Live skit, “The thing that would not leave.” Fortunately, there is not any possibility of him winning the primary.

The guy who is Not Playing can win the polls, but only the ones who Are Playing get to win nominations. Remember the general dismay when McCain emerged from nowhere? Expect a repeat.

Where are the other campaigns?

Don’t the other campaigns realize that they kinda have to do well at some of these events?

Ron Paul has a campaign organization that time and time again does very well, with wins and 2nd place finishes.

Where are all the other candidates? Why were they unable to get their supporters to this straw poll?

In the last 4 years, Ron Paul has started to win these straw polls.

4 years ago, he wasn’t winning.

Ron Paul is getting more and more popular. Last year, he lost by 1. This year he won. Crushed it, actually. It wasn’t even close.

Where were the other candidates?
