The party is over, so to speak. The first-ever Virginia Tea Party Convention successfully completed its two-day event at the Richmond Convention Centre on Saturday.
It wrapped up with the results of a presidential straw poll that saw NJ Governor Chris Christie win in a field of 12 Republicans and two Democrats. Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin came in half-a-point behind Christie. Others rounding out the top five were Ron Paul in third place, Newt Gingrich in fourth place, and Jim DeMint in fifth place.
