NEW CASTLE, N.H. -- Several Republican candidates attended the New Hampshire Young Republicans Straw Poll in New Castle, N.H., on Saturday, including Herman Cain, Thaddeus McCotter, Gary Johnson, Fred Karger and Buddy Roemer.
U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, dominated the straw poll with 45 percent of the votes cast. Mitt Romney was the only other candidate in double digits, picking up 10 percent of the votes. Both did not attend the straw poll.
Roemer said his mission was to get his name into the minds of Granite Staters.
"Most people don't know me. I've got to meet them three, four times, five times and these other boys better watch out," said Roemer.
Organizers said most of those who attended were already committed to one presidential candidate or another.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry finished third in the straw poll with 8 percent, ending in a tie with McCotter, who showed off his guitar skills at the lobster bake by playing songs for the crowd.
