Texas Republican congressman Ron Paul has won the latest Republican presidential straw poll.
The Texas Republican, who continues to trail former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney in national polls, captured the support of 53 percent of Ohio Republicans. Former businessman Herman Cain won the support of 26 percent of Republicans voting in the poll. Mr. Romney captured 8 percent in the poll, while the rest of the Republican field captured less than 5 percent.
The event requires participants to pay $25 to participate giving Ohio Republicans a chance to have their voices heard in the early stage of the presidential primary nominating process.
Mr. Paul’s victory in Ohio comes as his campaign announced they would launch a series of ads aimed at criticizing his Republican opponents. The campaign will also run radio versions of these spots, and complement the broadcast push with substantial voter outreach on the same topics.

It was ALL Ron Paul. We have been to a few of these things and We have never seen such Support as we did there. (and it was not just there.)
We headed over to German Village after the event for some lunch and that place was NUTS with Young OSU University Ron Paul Supporters...Signs all over the place.
Then later in the evening as we left a group of about 10 young men came toward us and gave us a Cheer for my "Ron Paul revolution" Shirt!
We are from Western Ohio and I can tell you first hand this region is Ron Paul country...just drive down the roads here.
I can honestly tell you I have do not know a SINGLE Perry/Cain/Romney Supporter...NOT ONE have i ever run across.
but You cant go out of the house for a Cup of Coffee around here without running into a Paul Supporter.
Revolution is in the Air..at least in Ohio !
