CHICAGO, November 6, 2011 – It is the Year of the Outsider and that means victory for Rep. Ron Paul. Last night, the Texas congressman won the Illinois GOP straw poll with 52% of the vote. His enthusiastic grassroots support again stunned traditional GOP organizers garnering 66.5% support in online voting and 8% onsite voting. Businessman Herman Cain came in second with 15% online and 29% in person. Mitt Romney came in third with 7% online support and 35% in person support.
"What that says about our team is that we have a motivated grassroots movement in Illinois," said Scott Davis, an Illinois coordinator for Ron Paul. "We're plugged in, we're paying attention, and we are in it to win it."
