Ron Paul won the June Townhall.com and HotAir.com Presidential Straw Poll. This is the second time since January that Ron Paul has won the Straw Poll. He also saw the biggest jump in support this month at 5.8%. In fact, he was one of only four candidates who gained ground this month: Sarah Palin (+4.1%), Michele Bachmann (+5.3%) and Rick Perry (+3.4%).
Cowboy's Comments: Can't bring myself to support Ron Paul. I think although he would be a much better President than the clown we have in office now, Rep. Paul is unacceptable to the majority of the American people and is unelectable. But I know there are alot of Ron Paul supporters out there, who I have just pissed off.
Not surprisingly, those candidates received the most buzz this in the media this month. Herman Cain, the May Straw Poll Winner, received the biggest drop in support at -6.6%. Has the Hermanator's support peaked? Is Sarah Palin making a comeback in anticipation of a possible presidential announcement? Are new faces Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry beginning to gain momentum?
Very interesting race. I hope the Republicans, Conservatives and Tea Party can come together to support one candidate when it is time. As we all know, any of the Republican candidates would be a much better job than Obama.
Congressman Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI) just joined the race. I believe he'll be much in the shadows but it remains to be seen how much he'll add to the debate.
I just wish the straw polls would stop putting / adding people that have chosen not to run, or that haven't declared that they will run. I still like a Bachmann-Cain ticket. Although, I wish Newt wouldn't have imploded. He's to smart and has excellent ideas on what this country needs. And I say no to Rick Perry!
