Here's the run down.

presidential preference straw poll

Romney - 42
Mccain - 22
Paul -14
Huckabee - 1
Undecided - 1

Here is what I found interesting.

1. no ID"S checked
2. some people did not have to sign in others did
3 During the informational portion. Mccain had 2 supporters speak on his behalf, 2 others tried to speak negatively about Mccain and were shut down. Ron Paul had 5 people speak and others wanted to but they cut the time off. Romney had no one speak initially, then when no one would speak, 2 people spoke because they said they felt they had to since no one else would.
4. It seems as though all 14 people (my wife and I included) who voted for Dr. Paul also became delegates. So I believe we got 14 out of 25 delegates to the state convention.

So the guy who gets half the votes can't even get a supporter speak on his behalf.

Also Ron Paul was the only candidate that had an official campaign presence there. I was also told by a caucus goer that my speech convinced him to vote for Ron Paul so I at least feel my time was well spent

This is what I got from an international news source:

Romney had received 568 votes, or 53.23 per cent of 1,067 votes cast. Second place with 20.62 per cent went to Ron Paul. McCain had received 18.28 per cent and former governor and Baptist minister Mike Huckabee received 5.15 percent.
