Three out of four top Republican presidential candidates ...Yes, it's only Iowa. Yes, it's a paid-for straw poll. Yes, some "big name" candidates ignored the event. But there was still a reasonably large number of candidates and voters. How did the Iowa straw poll end up? 1 Mitt Romney, 4,516 votes, 31.6 percent
2 Mike Huckabee, 2,587 votes, 18.1 percent
3 Sam Brownback, 2,192 votes, 15.3 percent
4 Tom Tancredo, 1,961 votes, 13.7 percent
5 Ron Paul, 1,305 votes, 9.1 percent
6 Tommy Thompson, 1,039 votes, 7.3 percent
7 Fred Thompson, 203 votes, 1.4 percent
8 Rudy Guiliani, 183 votes, 1.3 percent
9 Duncan Hunter, 174 votes, 1.2 percent
10 John McCain - 101 votes, 0.7 percent
11 John Cox- 41 votes, 0.1 percent Huckabe, Brownback, and Tancredo got a total of 47.1% of the votes. All three of them don't believe in evolution.

Yes, and Ron Paul got 1,305 votes, which is about what he is going to get in the actual primary for the entire state, which says a lot about the meaningfulness of the Iowa Straw Poll.
