Wicomico GOP Straw Poll Results
I’ll have more on the actual event and what was said tomorrow. For tonight, here are the results of the “raw” ballots, filled out by each of the 46 people attending:
Presidential:
- Fred Thompson, 22 votes – 47.8%
- Rudy Giuliani, 6 votes – 13.0%
- Mike Huckabee, 6 votes – 13.0%
- Mitt Romney, 6 votes – 13.0%
- Ron Paul, 4 votes – 8.7%
- Duncan Hunter, 1 vote – 2.2%
- Alan Keyes, 1 vote – 2.2%
- Sam Brownback, no votes
- John McCain, no votes
- Tom Tancredo, no votes
For 1st District Congress:
- Andy Harris, 22 votes – 47.8%
- John Leo Walter, 11 votes – 23.9%
- Wayne Gilchrest, 8 votes – 17.4%
- Joe Arminio, 5 votes – 10.9%
Club members also had the opportunity to purchase votes for a separate ballot for $1 apiece. This raised over $300 for the club and made that set of results a little different. I added this feature to see the depth of support for each candidate, and it also allowed people to split tickets, as it were. I know I did.

- Fred Thompson, 160 votes – 57.6%
- Ron Paul, 54 votes – 19.8%
- Duncan Hunter, 19 votes – 7.0%
- Mitt Romney, 15 votes – 5.5%
- Rudy Giuliani, 12 votes – 4.4%
- Mike Huckabee, 4 votes – 1.5%
- Alan Keyes, 3 votes – 1.1%
- Sam Brownback, 1 vote – 0.0%

Tomorrow night after I attend the Wicomico Neighborhood Congress inaugural meeting I’ll post more on tonight’s Straw Poll – what the candidates said and other interesting items. I got pictures and text of tonight’s event so look forward to it.

John walter came with a bunch of poeple yesterday, and they were buying tickets buddy. Well at least the club made some money.

You all should do a straw poll about the Democratic presidential candidates, because there is no way a Republican is going to be elected president this time around.
That’s a suggestion to be made to the Democrat club. And don’t count your chickens before they hatch.

[...] Faithful readers of monoblogue know that Caliguiri is only half right at best, as I helped to put together the Straw Poll in question and served as master of ceremonies. Walter won the fundraiser vote but not the raw totals, where Harris won with 46% of the total. And the vote was NOT held online, as I showed. [...]
[...] The key points he attributes the “heavy fog of doubt” to are many, but mainly relate to the vast disparity in campaign spending between himself and fellow also-ran Robert Joseph Banks as well as the difference between his vote and Ron Paul’s vote in the First District.

(For the record, McCain got zero votes in our September Wicomico County Straw Poll while Paul received 4 votes.) [...]
