Fred Thompson Wins Minnesota Straw Poll
Last night the Minnesota House Campaign Committee hosted the first Minnesota Presidential Straw Poll. The short version of the event is that Fred Thompson won the poll, followed very closely by Mitt Romney. Ron Paul of Texas made a good showing, but only because what looked like his entire Minnesota Campaign staff was there.
Jason Lewis broadcasted live from the event, interviewing Ron Paul (I heard it on the drive downtown) and John Cox who was at the event.
State Representative Marty Seifert MCed the event, and many other GOP State Reps were in attenedance. (Thanks to Rep. Garofalo for providing me with a ticket). Harold Shudlick, who ran a good, but unsuccessful bid for the GOP nod for the U.S. Senate was also in attendance.
The results of the straw poll are:
| Thompson | 21% |
| Romney | 20% |
| Paul | 16% |
| Giuliani | 13% |
| McCain | 11% |
| Huckabee | 8% |
| Cox | 4% |
| Brownback | 2% |
| Tancredo | 2% |
| Gingrich | 2% |
| Hunter | 2% |
| all others | less than 2% |

Kudos to John Cox for taking the time to join us in Minnesota for this Presidential event.
There were some extra boxed meals that were donated to a shelter.
