Excellent! All in for Ted!
So, they hand picked about 200 people? Seems legit.
Minnesota GOP’s State Central Committee...
I don’t know that that is a sterling endorsement. I thought Ted was anti-establishment.
“...in the poll of 283 influential party activists gathered for the Minnesota GOP’s State Central Committee,...”
Here’s your answer: The GOPe (aka The State Central Committee). Just a bunch of mini-Rancid Priuses.
Presidential candidate Ted Cruz won a straw poll released by the Republican Party of Minnesota on Saturday.
Results were compiled as the party held its annual State Central Committee Meeting at Monticello High School.
During the meeting, 283 members participated in the presidential straw poll to select their choice for the Republican nomination.
The results are as follows:
Ted Cruz: 31.8 percent
Marco Rubio: 16.3 percent
Carly Fiorina: 11.7 percent
Donald Trump: 10.2 percent
Rand Paul: 9.9 percent
Ben Carson: 8.1 percent
Undecided: 6.7 percent
Jeb Bush: 1.4 percent
Chris Christie: 1.4 percent
John Kasich: 1.1 percent
Mike Huckabee: 0.7 percent
Rick Santorum: 0.7 percent

Four votes for Jebbie seems unusually large to me for such a weak candidate.
Republican activists are the cream of the base.
Both of them (drum roll.....cymbal crash)
the Minnesota GOP’s State Central Committee, aka GOPolitburo.
There are republicans in MN. Who knew...
So, this is what FR has become. Post a positive article about Cruz - one of the most conservative guys in Washington - and all of the knives come out. It happens every cycle, destroy the best conservative. Where do all these people come from?
