"Values Voters" straw poll. - Updated

Non-scientific, but I think we can safely say Giuliani didn't close the deal.

Candidate Name ... Percentage

1. Mitt Romney ... 27.62 %
2. Mike Huckabee ... 27.10 %
3. Ron Paul ... 14.98%
4. Fred Thompson ... 9.77 %
5. Sam Brownback ... 5.14 %
6. Duncan Hunter ... 2.42 %
7. Tom Tancredo ... 2.30 %
8. Rudy Giuliani ... 1.85 %
9. John McCain ... 1.40 %

From Politico: "Announcing the results, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins said the top four issues picked by voters were 1) abortion; 2) marriage; 3) tax cuts; and 4) permanent tax relief for families." (Not terrorism/national security.)

(And don't take too much from the Ron Paul number. For a one dollar contribution to FRC you could vote online.)

Later: Check this out. Most of Romney's strength in this poll came from online votes. Huckabee beat Romney 5 to 1 among actual attendees.

The Romney folks claim they encouraged their people to vote online. What they really did was blast their email list asking for online votes.

Here's a breakdown.
