SRLC Straw Poll Results

I’ve been searching for the final results on Hotline’s Staw Poll at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference this weekend. I was mildly curious, to be quite honest, as to whether or not Rick Perry got a write-in nod or something. Anyway, here are the complete results:

Hotline Straw Poll Unofficial Results

Some notable info from the unofficial results:
Total ballots cast now: 1427
Total non-spoiled ballots cast: 1311
Total ballots cast in ‘98: 858
Spoiled ballots 116 (8.1%)
Total TN voters: 742 (52%)
Number of Frist’s votes outside TN: 97
Percent of Frist’s votes from TN: 82%
# Of TN voters who did not choose Frist first: 313 (42%)

I guess it is small comfort that Newt Gingrich scored so low.
