At the 34th Biennial NFRW Convention this past week-end in Palm Springs, CA, a majority of delegates threw their support behind former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani in the organization’s Republican Presidential Straw Poll.
Giuliani received 50.21% of the 765 votes cast. Other top vote-getters were former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson, 20.94%; former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, 14.42%; and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, 6.66%. Those four candidates accounted for more than 90% of the vote. The straw poll also featured US Senators Sam Brownback (.28%) and John McCain (1.8%) and Congressmen Duncan Hunter (4.02%), Ron Paul (.42%) and Tom Tancredo (1.25%).
(Please note: the NFRW does not make endorsements during the Republican primaries, but supports all Republican nominees during the general elections.)
In other NFRW (National Federation of Republican Women) business, Oklahoma's own Jeannine Long of Guthrie was elected as one of the women who will help lead the Federation in 2008 - 2009. Jeannine was elected Secretary of the National organization. Jeannine has long been active in NFRW as well as the OklahomaFRW.
