Ron Paul wins another straw poll



11 October, 2011

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul came in on top again at a straw poll over the weekend, but as usual the congressman from Texas is creating a bit of commotion with his continuing success.

Rep. Paul placed first during the Values Voter Summit’s straw poll in Washington this weekend, but Family Research Council President Tony Perkins quickly dismissed the results of his own survey, instead insisting that pizzaman Herman Cain was the real winner.

“I think there’s something to be said about his results in the straw poll,” Perkins said of Cain to CNN on Monday.

Perkins was quick to denounce Paul’s success. To CNN’s American Morning on Monday today, Perkins said, “I don’t think Ron Paul is truly reflective of where values voters stand.”

Though Perkins has no problem voicing his own favorite, the voters in Washington opted for Paul as the winner, which was seen in the real results. Of the 1,983 ballots case, Paul took 732, or 37 percent of the total.
