Coleman wins College Republican Straw Poll: Crawford, Griffin, Bledsoe, and Rankin win their Congressional Polls
The Arkansas Federation of College Republicans met in Little Rock today for their annually convention and grew a crowd of around 50 college students. The heard from Republican candidates for just about every statewide office including most all the U.S. Senate and Congressional candidates. After hearing from them, they cast their ballots for their preferences.
Curtis Coleman narrowly won the race for U.S. Senate with State Sen. Gilbert Baker coming in a close second and Congressman John Boozman in third. If you recall, Conrad Reynolds won the CR straw poll back in the fall but failed to garner much support this time around.
Here are the results of the Congressional Races…
First District – Rick Crawford
Second District – Tim Griffin
Third District – State Sen. Cecile Bledsoe
Fourth District – Beth Anne Rankin

Granted that the margin between 2nd and 3rd was much more than 2 votes, it should be noted that 2 Baker staffers did in fact vote in the Straw Poll…

While Rick Crawford won, he certainly can not declare it a victory. The margin of victory between he and Prinscella was much closer than it should have been.

Great job Curtis! After the RPA Straw Poll and this, it is clear that Mr. Coleman is doing a great job of connecting with voters both young to old.
