Another Victory For Ron Paul

Last night was another local victory for the Ron Paul campaign. The Louisville, KY Meet-up group gathered at multiple Independence Day celebrations throughout the metropolitan area. Members attended events held at E.P. Tom Sawyer Park, Waterfront Park, and the riverfront concert and fireworks display in New Albany, Indiana. Members were generally treated with warm regards, and were asked many questions such as: “Who’s this guy?” However, after a short explanation of Dr. Paul’s views, many changed their questioning to, “Why haven’t I heard of this guy?”
At one point, a member of the campaign, was confronted by a representative of the Waterfront Development Corporation, and was questioned about the nature of the material he was handing out.

After a short discussion, he was told abruptly that he was not allowed to hand out political material. His reply to this was quite simple.
“Come on now. Its Independence Day, and this is the United States.”
Members handed out over 300 full page flyers containing excerpts of the official Ron Paul “Issue Statements,” and many more palm sized “voting record summaries.” Earlier in afternoon, a small group formed at a busy corner of Waterfront Park and had “Break Dancing for Ron Paul.” Needless to say, this generated quite a bit of attention and questioning.
However, the most surprising events of the day were when patrons and supporters crossed paths again. One man, while holding up his flyer, shouted from across the lawn, “I agree! One hundred percent... I agree.”

Thompson received 25% percent of the convention delegates’ votes, easily beating the two runners up, Congressman Duncan Hunter and Governor Mitt Romney.
Of the declared candidates, Congressman Hunter and Governor Romney each received 19% of the vote. Congressman Ron Paul finished third. With 12% of the total vote, the so-called fringe candidate finished within seven points of the top spots.
Complete straw poll results follow:
Fred Thompson (25%)
Duncan Hunter (19%)

Ron Paul (12%)
Tom Tancredo (8%)
