And what of the Hopkinton Straw Poll in New Hampshire? What’s that? You never heard of the Hopkinton Straw Poll?

Ron Paul wins straw poll at 9th Annual CNHT Picnic

During every August in which the Republican presidential nomination is undecided (meaning there is no incumbent Republican president -- as in, most recently, 2007, 1999, 1995 and 1987), the town plays host to the Ames straw poll, which gauges support for the various Republican candidates amongst attendees of a fundraising dinner benefiting the Iowa Republican Party. The straw poll dates back to 1979, and is frequently seen as a first test of organizational strength in Iowa by the national media and party insiders; as such, it can be very beneficial for a candidate to win the straw poll and thus enhance his aura of inevitability or show off a superior field operation.

I predict Ron Paul will win the straw poll, because his views are shared by most Americans. Ron Paul has clearly won the last 2 Republican debates, despite getting such little attention from major news networks. I think Gulliani and McCain are pulling out of the straw poll so they won’t be embarrassed when Ron Paul wins, and so they can discredit the results of the poll.

We need your help!
Coming off the great success of the Rally for Life and Liberty in Des Moines last Saturday, we now need to keep the momentum going with a victory at the Straw Poll in Ames on August 11th.
It’s time to convert our internet energy into real political power.
We need you to be there. We need you to bring your family and friends.
Thousands of Iowans need to vote in the Straw Poll for Dr. Paul. And thousands more need to come from around the country to participate and volunteer at the event.
Our success in this event will catapult Congressman Paul into the national spotlight.
This need is urgent.
I need you to RSVP right now so we know who’s coming. Please do it right now.
