Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., beat U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, in the straw presidential poll voting of the Nevada Republican Assembly on Saturday in Reno, giving his campaign an early polling victory with a group that bills itself as a Reaganesque “Republican Wing of the Republican Party.”
Gingrich beat Paul, 48-43. Paul won the NVRA’s presidential straw poll four years ago.
The NVRA straw poll was a fundraiser for the group. Votes were $10 each. Voters could buy as many votes as they wished.
Gingrich also outpolled all other candidates in a vote for endorsement but did not gain the two-thirds-vote necessary to gain the group’s endorsement.
