Republicans hate McCain !

This is a poll from just a short six months ago, hard core Texas Republicans voted in a straw poll. This was a big event and only past delegates could attend, so it was light on Ron Paul supporters. McCain tanked before the media annointed him as "frontrunner"! I have heard many Republicans express their anger toward McCain and I think it might be easier to get them to release delegates where they are bound then most believe!

Final Straw Poll Results
Fort Worth, TX - September 1, 2007

41.1% Duncan Hunter (534 votes)
20.5% Fred Thompson (266 votes)
16.17% Ron Paul (217 votes)
6.4% Mike Huckabee (83 votes)
6% Rudy Giuliani (78 votes)
4.7% Mitt Romney (61 votes)
2.2% Ray McKinney (28 votes)
.77% John Cox (10 votes)
.62% John McCain (8 votes)
.46% Sam Brownback (6 votes)
.46% Tom Tancredo (6 votes)
.23% Hugh Cort (3 votes)

In this straw poll John Cox and Ray McKinney beat out McCain! His support is ilusionary! McCain can't even raise money without the RNCs help.

Something else to check into, I have heard that bound delegates can simply refuse to vote on the rounds they are bound withholding support until they are freed up. Even if you just go to the bathroom and "accidently" miss the first few rounds of voting, it sounds like a good plan! I don't know if it is true, but may be much more ethical than voting against your pledged candidate. Something to think about!
