[Election 2008] Assuming Mitt Romney will be Utah's Republican presidential candidate of choice is a given right up there with knowing alco-pops are destined for State Liquor Stores and that Gold's Gym is a hotbed of steaming, sweaty smut ... but wait!A straw poll held by St. George's Dixie Republican Forum on Tuesday elected ... Ron Paul! The results, as determined by citizens who live in the middle of a strip mall surrounded by golf courses (or vice-versa, depending on the part of town): Ron Paul: 28. Mitt Romney: 18. Alan Keyes: 7 (!). Fred Thompson: 5. John McCain: 5. Mike Huckabee: 2. Rudy Giuliani: 1. Tom Tancredo: 1.
That's right--Alan Keyes placed third, but probably only because Bo Gritz isn't in the running. (Bill Frost)
