Rep. Ron Paul placed second, and Gov. Tim Pawlenty placed third.

Update: Ace has real numbers. Bachmann beat Paul by a couple hundred votes and doubled up on Pawlenty, who picked up just under 2300 votes. Interestingly, Gov. Rick Perry picked up over 700 write-in votes, putting him a dash ahead of Romney.
