Well let me help you out here, because you seem to misunderstand mathematical proportions - not to mention the reason CPAC holds the poll in the first place - and so on.
It is irrelevant because it is zip zero nada indication of electoral strength. If it mean anything, we’d have had Ron Paul as President years ago. Did we? I didn’t think so.
Second, the poll is supposed to be a survey of CPAC attendees...as in conservatives from across the nation who come to see what is going on in the movement. The Paul votes are not that kind of attendee. They are there simply to vote for Rand (or Ron). And over 50% of the straw poll was from folks 25 or younger. That’s got nothing to do with reality.
So to your final point...routinely winning CPAC straw polls - just means the yutes have swallowed the Paul Bot kool aid....and they’ll do this and they’ll spam internet polls....but no one named Paul will EVER be nominated. Take it to the bank.
Maybe you shouldn’t be trying this at home....
Excellent post.
It would be very interesting to see a demographic profile of CPAC poll voters.
Ron Paul - appoint him as chairman of the Fed.
Got it... clear as crystal. No communication problem there.
I would accept your premise that the poll itself is meaningless if there were any other candidates who could assemble a group of constituents motivated enough to de-Paul the straw poll. C'mon... if it were so easy as to make the poll meaningless, you'd think someone would have done it by now.
