Ron Paul has just won his 25th straw poll. The Republican presidential candidate has taken the top honors in Virginia, followed by Fred Thompson in second place and Mike Huckabee in third. Paul got 182 of the 439 votes cast, or 38%.
The Richmond-Times Dispatchreported that there was a visibly discernable turnout for Ron Paul, and went on to say that his vocal supporters packed the place.
The Virginia win makes the 25th straw poll victory for Ron Paul. A month earlier he won the New York State Republican straw poll in New York City, with 43% of the vote. His other 23 straw poll wins can be seen on the official Ron Paul 2008 campaign website.
Update: Watch the voters listen for the results here.

Good point to emphasize this is the 25th win! The media needs to wake and recognize that telephone polling does not reach people with cell phones and people who have yet to register as Republicans. Thanks for highlighting this.

The reason Ron Paul's message resonates with people is because he knows how to use concise, simple terms to explain complex issues in ways that are clearly understood by most Americans. It also doesn't hurt that what he says has the ring of truth. "It's the Constitution, Stupid!"
