We just picked up a little bit of Presidential news that might have been hiding under the radar. Underdog candidate Hugh Cort, a security analyst running for President, won the South County, Rhode Island GOP straw poll.
The interesting nature of the win was the number of votes cast. Cort had 1522 votes, a significant number for a county event.
More detailed information is available on a Blue Hen website, Anchor Rising and on a conservative ideology blog, Conservative President 2008.
Hugh is very smart guy, and completely on target about what must be done to win the larger war on terror.
Our raison d'être here at TRS
“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” John Stuart Mill
We at The Real Sporer believe that the crises of our generation is the preservation of a United States of America based on fundamental rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Oddly enough, our generation, that grew in the quiet and secure 50s, 60s and 70s and thought we could escape history now find ourselves at the cross roads of history. At a time when the prevailing media, academic and even now industrial elites find the easy road of paternalistic socialist totalitarianism more expedient to travel we are convinced that only preserving the more traditional America will better provide the well known blessings of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to us and our posterity.
In the real world, the Republican freedom agenda is the only alternative to the thought police and rations commissar of the socialist nanny state. But the agenda that we share with the founding generation, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, will never again prevail if we don't fight our generation's battle to renew America's commitment to freedom with our socialist adversaries.
Our mission statement is therefore clear: provide the information and argument that leads to a Republican Renaissance and Republican governance.

Oh Beloved Chairman,
Hugh's website states he will be in Des Moines on June 12 at the Chairman's BBQ at the RPI
OMG how did Cox's people miss this all important early contest ?
Okay so I'm a little slow on finding this post, with trying to learn about ALL the candidates. It's obvious with that vote total Cort bought the straw poll, but isn't that how every campaign wins straw polls?
