Ron Paul won a straw poll in Illinois Saturday, the latest in a string of such wins for the GOP presidential hopeful. Supporters say the mainstream media are ignoring him, but such polls are not scientific and they can favor an enthusiastic following like Paul's.
Ron Paul won another Republican straw poll this weekend, in Illinois this time.
It’s starting to become routine for Mr. Paul, points out The State Column, an online source of state political news:
“Paul has consistently demonstrated his ability to rally his supporters to straw polls throughout the nation. Paul took second place in the Ames Straw Poll in August, finishing just 1 percentage point behind Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann. Paul won a Values Voter Summit straw poll in October and a California Republican Party straw poll in September. On Saturday, October 22, Paul garnered 53 percent of the votes to win an Ohio GOP poll. Last weekend, Paul won an Iowa straw poll at the National Federation of Republican Assemblies in Des Moines, Iowa with 82 percent of the votes.”

Maybe the fact that he is 76 years old has something to do with it. Admittedly, though, he does have a very loyal following.

Just STFU and get on with your life please and leave this to the adults whom do their research instead of just blatantly saying crap out of their mouth...
The reason why they black out Ron Paul is because of his grass roots thinking and policies... They see him as a threat to the big govt take down so they don't want him to win...
You clearly see this in the media, he has won about every straw poll, almost beat Michelle by .5 of a percent yet they won't mention his name...
The Govt is scared PERIOD!!!!
Remember with age comes wisdom...
Go do actually research before speaking on a matter you know noting of...
Because Paul is a moron. If he was president, Bin Laden would still be alive today.
