Ron Paul in Fifth Place at Presidency 5 Straw Poll in Florida

Ron Paul came in a strong fifth at the Republican Party of Florida’s href="http://www.presidency5.com/">Presidency 5 straw poll in Orlando, Florida. After winning href="http://www.ronpaul.com/2011-09-17/ron-paul-wins-california-straw-poll-with-44-9/">last week’s California straw poll with 44.9% of the vote, the Congressman did not make a personal appearance at this weekend’s “GOP establishment” event as he had traveled to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on Friday to href="http://www.ronpaul.com/2011-09-23/ron-paul-opens-campaign-office-in-baton-rouge-louisiana/">open a new campaign office and href="http://www.ronpaul.com/2011-09-23/ron-pauls-speech-at-lsu-promote-peace-and-prosperity/">speak to a massive crowd of supporters at Louisiana State University.

The Presidency 5 straw poll was overwhelmingly won by former href="http://www.ronpaul.com/legislation/audit-the-federal-reserve-fed-hr-459-s202/" >Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City Chairman Herman Cain, who convincingly edged out former frontrunner Rick Perry. Perry had poured massive resources into the straw poll, hoping to prove that his campaign was not going down in flames after his disastrous performance in Thursday’s href="http://www.ronpaul.com/2011-09-22/live-now-fox-news-google-debate-orlando-fl-9-pm-11-pm-est/">Google / Fox News debate. Even though the Texas governor ended up with only 15.4% of the vote, he did manage to narrowly beat his rival Mitt Romney, who gained 14%.
