As the evening wore on last night, several hundred people ended up coming over to the Annual San Diego GOP Straw Poll to vote. I’m in a bit of a rush today so I will only cover the top of the ticket… maybe someone else can pick up the ball and report everything else.
Whitman came in at 67%, with 954 votes, Poizner at 28% with 403 votes, and Campbell at 5% with 62 votes. We’ve seen quite a bit of Poizner down here over the past few years, so I was surprised at his showing, particularly since it looked from my novice eyes like he was actually organizing votes. Well, maybe his campaign should consider it a win… after all this is the first time I’ve seen any sort of recent poll with Poizner in 2nd place ahead of Campbell!
Other than that, no major tussles. Committee members that six months ago wouldn’t have spit on each other if they were on fire were even talking! Thanks, Obama!
