Orlando Straw Poll Results

On Saturday, February 13th, the Orlando Tea Party hosted a Candidate Hob Nob and Straw Poll at Orlando City Hall. The straw poll was administered by the Orange County Supervisor of Elections office with actual ballots and vote scanning machines. The hosts of the ‘Tea Party Patriots Live’ radio show and the rest of the volunteer organizers would like to congratulate the winners of the straw poll.

The Results are Interesting to say the least.

For Governor LP Candidate John Wayne Smith received 13% more of the vote than the highest ranking Democrat.

In the US Senate Race LP Candidate Alex Snitker received 17% more of the vote than Charlie Christ. It may be early but I think you can stick a fork in Christ. Rubio’s 66.6% showing indicates that he may be unstoppable.

Now the bad news, the Democrats have dismissed the entire “Tea Party” movement, I believe that they have done this at their own peril. The Tea Party represents the bulk of independent voters, and although the republicans are making a strong attempt to take it over, the fact that an unknown New Port Richey newcomer like Alex Snitker can muster 22% of the vote for US senate, and more than 21% more of the vote than the highest polled Democrat speaks volumes.

There is a political revolution going on the poll numbers don’t bode well for the “in” crowd.
