Easily wins RLC Convention Straw Poll

From Eric Dondero:

Ric Sincere, longtime libertarian Republican activist and former Libertarian Party official from Virginia has an extensive report on the RLC Convention held over the weekend in northern VA at The Examiner.

The biggest news to come out of the Convention as Sincere reports was the overwhelming victory of Gary Johnson in the presidential straw poll, "with more than double the amount of votes of the second-place finisher Ron Paul." Johnson was the keynote speaker for the convention.

Other important news, Dave Nalle of Texas (a friend and contributor of this website), was reelected National Chairman of the RLC, and Wisconsinite Aaron Bitterman as Vice-Chairman.

Sincere also reports:

Other prominent speakers at the convention included investment analyst and author Peter Schiff, freshman Congressman Justin Amash (R-Michigan), New York City Councilman Dan Halloran, Georgetown University law professor Randy Barnett, Cato Institute executive vice president David Boaz, and 2010 congressional candidate John Dennis, who challenged former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in her home district in San Francisco, California.
