“Why if other candidates could be voted for, and were on the agenda, why did the huge majority fail to vote? “

because it is a meaningless poll

Ron Paul specializes in sending in his bots to skew these votes. Probably the others didn’t pay it much attention. Certainly Sarah Palin, didn’t since she wasn’t there.

What's a "paulbot"?

Somebody concerned about recovering a little bit of freedom in this country?

No, that's a "strawman". Ah, if you only had a brain...

David Keene who heads CPAC is a RomneyBot

Reon Paul will never be president. Personally, I lost respect for Romney, Thompson and the rest of the Republicans in the primaries when they suddenly dropped out f the race and supported John McCain.

There was something very fishy about the way that happened. We can thank those Republicans for the farce that was the McCain campaign.

but...but...but... I was ASSURED on the other thread that CPAC was totally owned by Romney, and they were so pro-homosexual and trying to destroy American and puppies and all things good and decent.

And then they vote for Ron Paul. This confuses me. Is Ron Paul a gay mittbot ? That would explain so much really.

It appears the CPAC convention was 48% College students.
It appears that out of 10,000 attendees, approx.2900 voted.
We will wait to hear why so few voted.
Paulbots are the people who support Ron Paul zealously.

“all but irrelevant as the 74-year-old Texan is unlikely to be a serious contender for his party’s nomination.”

Big tent is high maintenance good looks bs. It is not at all needed. Just look at how expensive propaganda is getting to China, building Olympic Stadiums it cannot maintain save at the cost of billions. This socialism is a disaster of expensive and mediocre art vanities. The church crashed down after such vain pursuits in decorum, but theirs employed geniuses, not retards.

Who else was there to vote for?

Huckleberry? Romneybot, who I'm sure bused in supporters again? I like Sarah Palin, but c'mon, she's got a ways to go to be a successful prez candidate.

Gingrich has turned into a blithering idiot besides being a sure loser.

Pawlenty? Thune? Jindal? Maybe, but the vast majority of people know very, very little about them.

It was very rude of the convention to boo the result, which was not forced on them. Ron Paul is wrong on some key issues, but it doesn’t make him evil.

Paul & Romney—1 & 2. Sheesh. And these same people were cheering Beck? Did they have a clue what he was saying or were they automatons programed to applaud for the cameras? What a frightening disconnect!

we need an alternative conference next year, with a straw poll ... and hold it somewhere other than D.C.

Only taxpayers can vote ... no students.

The Republican Party needs a candidate who WAS NOT on the stage in 2008!
