"As opposed to those flaming liberals at CPAC who gave Guliani most of their votes?"
I don't think Rudy came in first, seems it was Romney, but correct me with a link if Im wrong, AND around 75% of the voters were under 25 years of age, and not at experienced in doing research, and many of them might have been bussed in as there was a large group of young people wearing the same "uniform" - showing they were from the same college.
There was a poll taken on TomDeLay.com that has since expired and DUNCAN HUNTER was WAY ahead of everyone else:
I copied the poll, and here it is:

Which Potential Republican Presidential Candidate would you be most apt to Categorize as a True Conservative?
Rudy Giuliani 10%
John McCain 3%
Mitt Romney 10%
Sam Brownback 8%
Tom Tancredo 17%
Mike Huckabee 7%
Jim Gilmore 5%
Duncan Hunter 38%
Tommy Thompson 2%
My bad, I just checked the poll again, and Duncan Hunter went up to 44%, and Rudy went down to 9%.
More and more people are realizing what a strong conservative DUNCAN HUNTER is.
You're right, at CPAC, which represents a cross selection of conservative Americans (not the narrow spectrum poll you later site), Guliani came in second behind Romney...but well ahead of Duncan Hinz, Newt, Tom Terrific, etc.
