Ron Paul Wins First Place in 2012 Illinois Republican Pre-Presidential Straw Poll

Ron Paul Wins First Place in 2012 Illinois Republican Pre-Presidential Straw Poll

LAKE JACKSON, Texas – 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul earned another straw poll victory tonight, this time winning 52 percent of 3,649 votes cast in an Illinois statewide Republican contest held online and in-person.
 
Dr. Paul handily beat Herman Cain, Mitt Romney, and Newt Gingrich, who garnered 18, 14, and 9 percent of the votes, respectively.  Rick Perry earned a mere 2.5 percent of the vote, John Huntsman 1.5 percent, Rick Santorum 1.2 percent, followed by Michele Bachmann with just 1.1 percent.
 
“This straw poll victory demonstrates the groundswell of support for Ron Paul and his winning message, as well as the organizational muscle presidential candidates require,” said Scott Davis, Illinois State Chair for the Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign.  “Straw poll participants were Illinois residents who support the Illinois Republican Party and Ron Paul for the presidency, so this contest is relevant and representative.”
 
The 2012 Illinois Republican Pre-Presidential Straw Poll was the first mainly online poll of its kind.  The one-week poll began on 9:00 a.m. CT Saturday, October 29th and concluded tonight, November 5th, at 7:00 p.m. CT.  In order to participate, voters were required to be Illinois residents and to make a minimum $5 contribution benefiting the Illinois Republican Party.  The poll was taken at http://www.illinoisstrawpoll.com/.
 
Today throughout Illinois there also were a number of Republican activities where voters cast their vote in person instead of online.  U.S. Senator Mark Kirk (R) was among the Republican luminaries traveling around to different county and township events today as localities hosted in-person voting opportunities.  Ron Paul was declared the winner at the Republican Party headquarters in Downtown Chicago at an event hosted by Eloise Gerson, 42nd Ward Republican Committeeman and Chicago GOP Chairwoman.  Senator Kirk was also in attendance.

Complete straw poll results are as follows:
 
Paul 52%
Cain 18%
Romney 14%
Gingrich 9%
Perry 2.5%
Huntsman 1.5%
Santorum 1.2%
Bachmann 1.1%

Ron Paul Attracts Around 3,000 Supporters at a Minnesota Kickoff Event in St. Cloud

St. Cloud rally kicks off Minnesota state operations

LAKE JACKSON, Texas – 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul attracted more than 3,000 supporters at a rally in St. Cloud held to kick off his Minnesota state operations.

The event took place in the district of Dr. Paul’s colleague Rep. Michele Bachmann.  The last time Rep. Paul visited Minnesota was in 2009 when the pair held a town hall meeting.
 
The exceptionally large crowd gathered at the St. Cloud Civic Center despite the hunting opener that can sometimes distract Minnesota families from attending large public gatherings.
 
“We are extraordinarily pleased to see the turnout so high,” said Marianne Stebbins, the Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign’s Minnesota Chair.
 
“We know Ron Paul’s platform is popular with Minnesotans, but it’s especially gratifying to see the tremendous outpouring of support and concern for his message of Constitutionally-limited government, a return to sound money, and a strong national defense,” said Ms. Stebbins.
 
In the coming weeks, the Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign will formally launch its Minnesota state operations with a new office in Minnetonka.
