Presidential candidate Ron Paul continues his dominating run at the grassroots level of America.
November 22, 2011- Last Saturday another Republican straw poll was held in North Carolina. This poll required participants to have a voter’s registration number. The intention was to give an opportunity to both the state’s Republicans and Independents to select their choice from the entire field of Republican Presidential candidates.
The poll was a grassroots movement in response to the “official” poll that was held by the North Carolina State GOP members in which a small, select group of wealthy Republicans voted for Newt Gingrich. The voting was done online and could not be affected by spamming, as voter registration numbers were required. After the votes were tallied, it was announced that Ron Paul was the runaway winner.
Paul received 52% of the votes, over 30% more than his closest challenger, the former Congressman Newt Gingrich did. Gingrich received 22.1% of the vote. Following Gingrich was Herman Cain with just 13.3%, Mitt Romney with 3.6% and Michelle Bachmann with only 2.8%.
With the economic problems not going away and unemployment still near double digits, it is no surprise that a candidate like Ron Paul is winning a number of straw polls. This is his third victory in just over a month and indicates that his popularity is spreading quickly across the country. His stand on government spending, the deficit and foreign policy has attracted many avid supporters.
Ron Paul is the only credible Republican candidate. Can’t wait for the ghosts and dirty laundry to pop out of Romney’s closet. And Newt? Really? President Newt? Come on people! On the other hand we already had president poop for brains…
How many straw polls and debates does this guy have to win for the Republican party to realize that he is the only shot at beating Obama.
Ron Paul gives me hope that this country can actually turn itself around and once again become the great nation it once was.
I think this is the start of something big! Go Ron Paul.
