Paul wins Conservative Leadership Conference straw poll
By: SGT News | Submitted on: 10/15/07SOUTHERN ARIZONA (SGT NEWS) - Ron Paul can add yet another straw poll victory to his tally as he takes first place in a Conservative Leadership Conference poll held in Nevada.
Paul, who did not attend the event, won 33% of the vote, followed by Mitt Romney at 16%.
Paul's success in straw polls stands in stark contrast with historically unreliable national polls, which put the Texas Representative at only 1% to 3%.
An estimated 430 votes were cast, where Libertarian philosophy dominated the gathering.
The Nevada poll came just days after the CNBC-organized national GOP debate, where Ron Paul was provided the least amount of time to respond to questions than any other candidate on stage.
