Virginia Tea Party Patriots Convention 2012 Straw Poll

• Chris Christie 14.0%
• Sarah Palin 13.5%
• Ron Paul 12.5%
• Newt Gingrich 8.4%
• Jim DeMint 7.3%

Survey of 1,560 attendees.

Slate's David Weigel notes:

Also on the ballot, although the full results weren't read: Bobby Jindal, Mike Huckabee, Mitch Daniels, Michele Bachmann, Mike Pence, Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty, and Rick Santorum -- who actually attended the conference. (Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton also appeared on the poll, sort of as a joke.)
