WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Ron Paul on Monday celebrated his victory in a Republican presidential straw poll, saying he has captured the imagination of people weary of U.S. military involvement in global conflicts and worried about the economy.

Mr. Paul, Texas Republican, told NBC’s “Today” show his candidacy is a response to “endless, undeclared, unwinnable wars dumped on the young people” and a soaring national debt.
