This time it was the Arkansas Republican Assembly straw poll.

Dr. Bill Smith, ARRA Editor: Today the 2007 Arkansas Republican Assembly Convention was held in Clarksville, AR. A press release of new officers and convention activities will be released and reported on in a few days. Of special interest is the result of a straw poll of delegates attending the convention. “All potential” Republican candidates who announced or have indicated they may announce were considered. Delegates discussed everything from candidates’ positions on key issues to the “X” factor: who can win the election. Fred Thompson received 86% of the votes by delegates in a secret ballot straw poll as to the person they would most like to represent the Republican Party if elections were held today.
