LOL @ Giuliani

Are these numbers correct? I saw 2.3 for RP%. Source for these numbers?

Giuliani didn't campaign for the straw poll, which is quite important since this is quite literally an exercise in buying votes.
Overall a bit of a missed opportunity for Paul IMO. A second or third place finish would have really gotten him some attention. He's trading at 4.7% on Intrade right now but I think that's high.
