Straw Poll Results
Romney 893
Ron Paul 534
Giuliani 39
Huckabee 37
Thompson 21
John McCain 12
Duncan Hunter 4
Alan Keyes 2
Tom Tancredo 1

Tickets cost $20 each. Apparently there were an estimated 1,000 Ron Paul supporters in attendance and an estimated 80 Romney supporters in attendance. Ron Paul grassroots efforts included shuttling in supporters on a rented trolley and shuttle and a plane sporting pro-Paul slogans and a boat touting him, too.

Buying polls and hiring demonstrators is the European way of doing politics.

That's pathetic. On the other hand, how in the hell are electronic voting machines still legal after all of this crap thats been happening the last several years?
