Results of a Straw Poll conducted by the Republican Party at the Newton County, Missouri Fair July 11-14, 2007:
Ron Paul fell just 8 votes short of winning the poll, closely following actor Fred Thompson. But still far ahead of Giuliani, Romney, McCain, and all the other Republican candidates.
Although it wasn't a first-place victory, the fact that it was very close says something - and shows that Ron Paul's name recognition is improving - at least in rural SW Missouri.
The results were announced at the Republican Watermelon Feast in Neosho, Missouri on July 25th.
