Dr. Paul received 208 of 286 votes, or 73 percent. Mitt Romney finished second with 26 votes, or 9 percent. Huckabee and Tancredo received 20 votes and 8 votes respectively.

Dr. Paul is no stranger to this type of success. The campaign recently won three straw polls sponsored by the Coalition for New Hampshire Taxpayers, FreedomWorks and the Republican Party of Gaston County, North Carolina.

I really think his campaign is snowballing -we were all tin foil hats before but I think once people really looked into who Ron Paul is they started coming on board - and now the ball is rolling with the media continuing to underestimate the level of excitement this man generates from his supporters (which is obvious from our takeover of the internet and putting signs all over communities - showing up at the meet ups - giving money (there is no candidate who has raised more under 200.00 donations ) - and just speaking and showing what Ron Paul is really about - the misconceptions are fading here comes Ron Paul !

The Ron Paul campaign grows every day. We had a Ron Paul booth at the NW WA Fair and we saw Ron Paul interest grow every day. On Monday people were asking who Ron Paul is. By Saturday they had read about us in the paper and were asking how they could join.
