Ron Paul wins the student mock election in Polk County, IA

Kudos to the Polk County Auditor for this opportunity to teach our children how the voting process works.  Here are the "official results" of the Mock Election held at area high schools last week.

Looks like Ron Paul could have a very strong showing on January 3rd in the real caucus.  I also see that Obama would beat all of the Republican contenders in a head to head.  In the past this could be a good indicator of what the parents are thinking.  I wonder if it will hold true this year.
