Fred Thompson Wins GOP Straw Poll in Washington


Non-candidate Fred Thompson won a small straw poll sponsored by the Washington (State) Republican Party on Saturday.

This is only slightly more newsworthy than what he had for breakfast that day, but this, in addition to the speech he gave in California last Friday keep adding momentum.

I'm excited about a Thompson run. I'm hoping he's done all the propper vetting so it's not an exercise in futility because we find out about the 19 year old he keeps on the side, though.

The results:
Fred Thompson, 50 percent
Mitt Romney, 16 percent
Rudy Giuliani, 15 percent
Duncan Hunter, 10 percent
John McCain, 5 percent
Tom Tancredo
Tommy Thompson, Mike Huckabee and Newt Gingrich, 1 percent each.
