Capitol Alert: Ron Paul wins one 2012 straw poll at GOP convention - Mar. 20, 2011:
"GOP Rep. Ron Paul was the top vote-getter in a straw poll organized by one group at [last weekend's California Republican Party convention]. Paul ... won 17.8 percent of the 202 votes cast in the informal straw poll conducted at a booth run by the Republican Liberty Caucus of California..... Romney ... came in second with 10.9 percent of the vote and former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin followed with 7.9 percent. The two could-be candidates who spoke at the convention didn't fair as well. The 'undecided' category won more votes (5 percent) than either former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton (4 percent) or Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour (2 percent), though the poll was conducted prior to Barbour's Saturday night speech."
