Mitt Romney Loses Nevada Straw Poll To Ron Paul

Posted by Mike Gehrke on October 15, 2007 at 03:15 PM

The embarrassing part is that Mitt Romney actually showed up...and Ron Paul didn't.

Ron Paul won the GOP presidential straw poll conducted by organizers at the Conservative Leadership Conference held at the Nugget Casino this weekend "by a large margin," according to an organizer.

Paul won with 33 percent, Romney came in second with 16 percent and Duncan Hunter was just behind with 15 percent. "Undecided" was fourth with 11 percent, and Thompson and Giuliani were next and ahead of the rest of the pack--all in single digits. Raw numbers haven't been provided, but there were approximately 430 registrants at the opening of the conference.

Although many of the Republican presidential teams had surrogates representing them at the conference, Mitt Romney and Duncan Hunter were the only candidates to speak at the conference, and the victor himself was not there.

I find it interesting that a Republican candidate that is good on medical marijuana won the straw poll in a medical marijuana state. Maybe the other candidates should re-think their position.

I find it interesting that he won without even being there.
