Polk County (Iowa) High Schoolers 'Nominate' Ron Paul

[EonBlue]

And Ron Paul scores the highest against Obama!

"An Obama-Paul race among the students re-elected Obama, but it was close: Obama 52 percent; Paul 48 percent."

Perry - 20%
Bachmann - 13%
Gingrich - 8%

I know, strange.

I would think that high schoolers would vote the same way as their parents. I'm really surprised Newt did so bad. He really is sinking fast.

It was there and I read it before I posted. Very odd.

I wouldn't think that hs students would vote the same as their parents.

We should be getting those Polk County HS students to the caucuses.

Yea, but most being under 18, they would then not be allowed to vote. A good chunk of most HS seniors are under 18 in most schools.

They can caucus if they turn 18 on or before election day next November.
