Sorry don't have time to stay tuned. It sounds like you're talking about straw poll results. The last CPAC straw poll (2008) was populated by three RINOs and a lunatic -- McCain, Romney, Huckabee and Paul. If they can't even find a conservative to promote, I have no reason to pay any attention to their CPAC straw polls at all.

Take a look at this blast from the 2008 past:

The results of the CPAC straw poll has just been announced, and Mitt Romney has decidedly been proven the conservatives choice. Even after he announced the suspension of his campaign, Romney managed to just edge out John McCain with 35% of the vote vs. McCain’s 34%.

Interestingly, the result before and after Romney’s announcement were significantly different, with Romney taking a huge lead over McCain, with Huckabee and Ron Paul trailing far behind.

Overall Results:

Romney: 35%
McCain: 34%
Paul: 12%
Huckabee: 12%
Other: 1%
Undecided: 5%

Pre-Romney Announcement:

Romney: 44%
McCain: 27%
Huckabee: 12%
Paul: 10%
Other: NA
Undecided: 4%

Post-Romney Announcement:

Romney: 32%
McCain: 37%
Huckabee: 12%
Paul: 2%
Other: NA
Undecided: 6%

Another notable finding was that Huckabee’s votes did not seem to be affected by the announcement. Instead, most votes gained by McCain seemed to have been lost by Romney. I’m thankful to see that Huckabee, despite his reception by the CPAC audience, has not polled when with them when it comes to actual support as a candidate. There may be hope for the movement yet.

I find it interesting that one RINOs vote just becomes another. If you like McCain, you'll really like Romney or visa versa. If you were fooled by McCain, you'll really be fooled by Romney or visa versa.

They fool you once, shame on them. Let's see if this next 2009 CPAC straw poll is able to fool you and some others twice.
