I didn't know there was an Alabama straw poll today, but certainly interesting that Perry actually won it with write-in votes.

I'm stunned Ron Paul didn't win this. I mean, straw polls are the only thing Ron Paul actually does well in. Did his bus loads of college kid supporters get high and fall asleep on tummies full of ho-ho's?

None of the other people who received votes was in double-digits. Others include U.S. Reps. Michelle Bachmann and Ron Paul; former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty; former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum; former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson; and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

Where were all the Palin supporters? Watching The Undefeated?

It was at the GOP State Party Executive Committee Summer Meeting.

The establishment's "Plan B" to stop Palin once Romney is toasted.

Cheers!

McRomney is not going to win Alabama. I will never vote for the liberal RINO of Taxsachuttus.

Regardless of whether or not you support Palin or Perry, we all should be cheering because Perry entering the race dooms Romney.

As the Gov. of the State with the best job creation over the last 3 yrs I'm glad he's in the race and I want to learn more about him.

I’m praying this guy wins the Repub nomination. Besides supporting everything I do, he’s also from Texas which will drive the libs up the wall to no end “AHH It’s Bush again!” Yeah but only better mofos.

Perry and Cain both beat Romney. That’s good news for two reasons :-)
