Gingrich Wins Tea Party Straw Poll

Something is seriously wrong in the State of Denmark if Ron Paul received 3% and Mr. Neo-con himself Mitt Romney got 20%. Definitely compromised.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich scored a huge victory Monday, winning a key straw poll of Tea Party supporters.

The poll, taken among 23,000 Tea Party enthusiasts organized by the Tea Party Patriots, one of the nation’s biggest Tea Party organizations, had Gingrich winning with with 31 percent of their vote, registered in a conference call on Sunday night.

Coming in a close second was Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, with 28 percent. Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, pulled 20 percent; former Sen. Rick Santorum, 16 percent; Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, 3 percent; Gov. Rick Perry of Texas, 2 percent, and Jon M. Huntsman Jr., 0.3 percent, The New York Times reported.

The results come as Gingrich is seeing some of his once-formidable lead slipping away. In some recent polls, he is either slightly leading in Iowa or behind Paul.

    The same machine that got Obama elected is the same machine now manipulating the Republican primary.

    We must rid ourselves of this cancer aka the Progressive establishment. It has infiltrated the right and is creating chaos.

    I honestly believe that part of the problem are the administrators of the various Tea Party groups. They are steering and manipulating.

    I am sick of all the fuzzy math coming from both sides.

    Must be paid off as far as I can see and it's so blatant. If we were trying the same thing we wouldn't make it so obvious.

    I was on that call. Newt, Mitt, Bachmann, and Santorum spoke. The others didn't attend. There might be some connection between who took the time to attend and who got the enthusiasm points at the end of the call. I didn't vote, though, because I was also busy helping my wife wrap Christmas presents and missed parts of their spiels. I don't have any interest in voting for "Newt Romney"
