Ron Paul wins latest Poll in Arkansas
The Arkansas Republican Party conducted a poll this week and Ron Paul won by a landslide
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Stephen Wood
(Libertarian)
Presidential hopeful Congressman Ron Paul won the most recent straw poll in Arkansas. The event was sponsored by the Benton County County Republican Committee.
The results came as a surprise to party insiders who played down the significance of the poll, which was used to help raise money for the party.
Here are the results:
Ron Paul 36.6%
Mitt Romney 24.6%
Mike Huckabee 21.1%
John McCain 14.0%
Rudy Giuliani 2.8%
Congressman Paul has not had to advertise in Arkansas because his Grass Roots movement is so large as evidenced by this poll. He attributes his continued success to the fact that: "People love the idea of Liberty, Prosperity and Peace."
Even before the event had ended, the Political Spin was already starting with the other campaigns. "I think it would be wrong to over-interpret this (vote)," Benton County Republican Committee Chairman George Spence said.
Stung by the low ratings in his home state, Huckabee spokeswoman Alice Stewart said: "We've yet to campaign here for the Republican nomination. Once we do, we expect to see support all across the state." These results do seem to be an indicator of things to come for former Governor Mike Huckabee as most voters in Arkansas are already familiar with his record.
Rep. Donna Hutchinson said: "I think it indicates a problem that has been below the surface that no one has talked about, a lot of Republicans are upset."
Sen. Dave Bisbee, a former floor leader for Huckabee, failed to vote for the former Governor. This is a clear blow to the Huckabee campaign.

I fear the imbeciles whose vote changes after watching T.V. commercials and feel good speeches.
