Mitt Romney may have gotten the most votes in the Value Voters Summit Straw Poll, but the real story is the fact that he barely beat Mike Huckabee:
Here are the straw poll results from the Values Voter summit.
1. Romney 1,595
2. Huckabee 1,565
3. Ron Paul 865
4. Fred Thompson 564There were 5,776 votes cast but only 2,500 people at the summit. The
discrepancy comes from Internet votes. Anyone who was a member of
Family Research Council Action, which only requires a minimum donation
of $1, was allowed to vote.
As with most of these straw polls, the results mean virtually nothing, but it does show that Huckabee has a shot to become a first tier candidate.
