| Ron Paul Wins Nevada Republican Assembly Straw Poll Reuters
Business Wire On Saturday, Republican presidential candidate and Texas Congressman Ron Paul won the Nevada Republican Assembly's Straw Poll with 39 percent. Dr. Paul had more than double the support of John McCain who "Ron Paul supporters showed their dedication by coming out to vote in the middle of a snow storm," said Jennifer Terhune, a Nevada-based spokeswoman for the Ron Paul campaign. "Dr. Paul's message of freedom, peace and prosperity is resonating with Nevadans." The Ron Paul campaign has over two hundred and thirty registered volunteers in the Reno area, as well as over six hundred in Las Vegas.
Ron Paul has had other recent straw poll victories in northern Nevada. He won the Conservative Leadership Conference straw poll last October with 32% of the vote, and a Washoe County Republican Party straw poll in the same month with an overwhelming 41% of support from local Republicans.
