Texas Rep. Ron Paul won a California straw poll, the state Republican Party announced in a statement Saturday night.

Paul won with 44.9% of the votes, Texas Gov. Rick Perry came in second with 29.3% of the votes, and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney came in third with 8.8% of the votes.

Paul is surging. No telling if it will be enough to make him the front runner. However, the latest CNN poll shows Ron Paul in third place for the Republican primary. Not bad, Dr. Paul. Keep up the good work.
