Ron Paul Wins Maryland Straw Poll
Arizona Sen. John McCain finished fifth in a 2008 presidential straw poll held by the Maryland Republican Party.
Libertarian-leaning, anti-war Texas Congressman Ron Paul was the top candidate in the 11-day straw poll. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani was second in the poll, which asked Republicans to name their choice for 2008 presidential nomination. Former Senator and actor Fred Thompson was third and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney came in fourth.
McCain picked up 54 votes in the straw poll versus 263 for Paul and 230 for Giuliani.
A number of campaign signs supportive of Paul's underdog effort have popped up in across the Phoenix area.
McCain has seen his poll numbers dip in key states and nationally. The Arizona Republican has run into trouble with moderates over his support for the Iraq War and with conservatives on immigration and campaign finance issues.
