That put him ahead of Frederick's of Hollywood (112 votes), I <3 Huckabees (at 51), Willard (45), The Serial Adulterer Ghoul(43), John McCain (23), Military Industrial Complex Patron Hunter (19), and 4 votes for the Native American candidate [his name sounds suspiciously Italian, though].
Some might explain this victory simply by claiming that Ron Paul supporters are "organized" and enthusiastic.
I have another theory-Ron Paul is the natural candidate of the racists who are in charge of the Virginia Republican party.
My evidence:
- Fairfax County Republican roast full of racist jokes
- Rep. Virgil Goode bashed Muslim African-American Rep. Keith Ellison and use that to bash immigrants [Ellison was born in Detroit]
- George Allen-noose-hanging, Confederate-flag lover who lost his race by disgusting Independent Virginians with his racist attack on S.R. Sidarth
- Ron Paul, the candidate of white supremacists, won the straw poll
For good measure, let's end with the famous "Macaca video." The applause of racism by the Republican rank and file really brings my point home.
