Ron Paul removed from the GOP Straw Poll because he was winning.

You can see on this site Ron Paul's absence: http://www.gopstrawpolls.com/

Notice below this story about Paul ahead in this same poll. He was obviously removed because he was winning.

Ron Paul Leads GOP Straw Poll

Presidential candidate Ron Paul (R-Tex) leads a GOP straw poll presented by GOP Bloggers, a grassroots community "with the goal of keeping a Republican majority in Congress, and a Republican President in the White House."

According to email commentary left on several sites, the online GOP straw poll “is very important and is one of the polls that the [mainstream] media uses to analyze a candidate’s popularity."

The GOP Bloggers site and straw poll can be seen here:

Up-to-date results may be seen here:

Ron Paul has been called an "Internet phenomenon." His campaign has claimed that his name is now one of the top web searches, along with Paris Hilton. Recent press conferences and media appearances, including such programs as Bill Maher's "Real Time" on HBO (Friday evening, May 25) are exposing his small government, free-market views to a widening audience.

The polling, as of late Friday, May 25, reads as follows:

10031 ballots cast

First Choice:

Paul 3240 (32.3%)
F. Thompson 2881 (28.7%)
Romney 1384 (13.8%)
Giuliani 688 (6.9%)
Gingrich 454 (4.5%)
Hunter 369 (3.7%)
Huckabee 261 (2.6%)
(none) 250 (2.5%)
Tancredo 225 (2.2%)
Brownback 163 (1.6%)
McCain 85 (0.8%)
T. Thompson 20 (0.2%)
Gilmore 11 (0.1%)
