Illinois Republican Party Chairman Pat Brady announced that Texas Congressman Ron Paul won Saturdays Statewide Presidential Straw Poll with 52% of the vote. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney carried the states in-person voting with 35% of the vote.
I congratulate Congressman Paul on his victory, said Brady. It is clear Illinois Republicans are gearing up tremendous election year in in 2012.
The final subtotaled results are:
Romney: 7%:Online , 35%:In-Person
Cain: 15%:Online , 29%:In-Person
Paul: 66.5%:Online , 8%:In-Person
Tragic irony given the way the Cohen drama started that it ended up hurting us.
Bad luck on top of everything else.....
