First Ballot of Presidential Nominee

Here are the first ballot results coming from the voting floor at the Denver convention:

Barr 153 (24%)
Ruwart 152 (24%)
Root 123 (20%)
Gravel 71 (11%)
Phillies 49 (8%)
Kubby 40 (6%)
Jingozian 23 (4%)
Smith 6 (1%)
NOTA 2
Ron Paul 6
William Colon 1
Penn Jillette 3
Daniel Imperato 1

Christine Smith and Mike Jingozian were dropped from future ballots because they didn't get 5 percent of the delegates' vote to remain on the ballot.

Smith, angry that she was dropped from the ballot, gave an anti-Bob Barr rant to the local media in Denver.
