Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul won a straw poll this week held by an Arizona group representing young GOP entrepreneurs and business professionals.

The Republican Professionals Association conducted the poll this week.

Paul won the poll, with 80 percent of the vote, followed by Sen. John McCain of Arizona, with 12 percent. There were 515 votes cast, according to RPA.

McCain picked up the endorsement of the Tampa Tribune on Friday. He also has received a number of newspaper endorsements on the GOP side of the 2008 White House race.

Paul opposes the war and most government spending. He wants to dismantle the Internal Revenue Service and what he calls America’s ‘empire’ abroad, including military bases and reducing foreign aid.
