Des Moines, Iowa (CNN) - Ron Paul has won two separate tallies for the National Federation of Republican Assemblies Presidential Straw Poll.
 
Paul won both the Iowa-voters-only count at the Saturday convention in Des Moines as well as a tally of non-Iowans who participated.
 
In the Iowa voters result, Paul took 82%. Following him were Herman Cain with 14.7%, Rick Santorum with 1%, Newt Gingrich with 0.9%, Michele Bachmann with 0.5%, Rick Perry with 0.5%, Gary Johnson with 0.2%, with Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman 0%.
 
The total number of votes cast in that tally was 430.
 
In the tally of non-Iowans who voted, Paul won 26% followed by Cain at 25%, Perry and Santorum tied at 16%, Gingrich at 11%, Bachmann at 6%, Romney at 1%, and Huntsman and Johnson with 0%.
 
The total number of votes cast in that count was 101.
 
Though Paul won both tallies, the NFRA has not yet officially endorsed a candidate. Delegates to the convention will decide that later Saturday.

Wow..Romney at 1% says a lot.

Another couple of wins for Paul as usual but will be downplayed as usual.  ::)

The thing is if these polls are being stuffed by Ron Paul supporters then why isn't there that kind of support for the other candidates?  If Cain or Romney was that popular  then you would think they would have some sort of following of people large enough to make some kind of impact in the polls.  Things are really looking good for Ron Paul right now.  I just hope his campaign doesn't mess it up somehow.  The great thing about Paul is he will never get caught up in Flip flop statements that is prevalent in the other candidates.  I just hope voters can see through the bullshit coming from the other candidates.
