Close to two thousand attendees
participated in a straw poll, and Rep.
Ron Paul won with 37-percent. However, the results were
significantly skewed by over 600 people who
registered on the final day
of the conference; the vast majority of them were Paul
supporters. Former Gov. Mitt Romney, the GOP frontrunner
according to conventional wisdom, obtained only 4-percent.
Perkins said Romney hit all the right notes in his speech, but that the
outcome showed "there's still work to do" for Romney.
