Voter fraud...or cyber-wars- We need “boots on the ground” to help put an end to it before 2012.

The majority of the audience did express their disapproval and they voiced it rather loudly too.

Who the hell is this Gary Johnson other than he’s a kook?

Arguably the best NM Governor other than Lew Wallace and somebody I can get behind for POTUS with no reservations.

It just underscores the fact that CPAC does not represent conservatives and Republicans.

Well, you're half right.

You don't have any problem at all with politicians who think it's fine to kill little babies, huh?

Gary Johnson actually accomplished something to advance freedom (second amendment rights, lower taxes) in his term as governor unlike Saint Sarah.

Ann Romney has MS. Regardless of what we may think of her husband, that is a very low blow.

I wasn’t aware that NM was a bastion of freedom

I’m glad to hear that. I would have been very disappointed in you if I thought that you had known.

Sorry you couldn’t be there, you could give a 1/3 of a vote to Bachmann - who was there and spoke, Cain and DeMint.

You can feel happy though that Bachmann outpolled Palin, both in the mid/low single digits.

Everyone was there, pretty much, and Ron Paul romped.

After a while, the media might want to start telling the story that the one guy the media doesn’t want to win is winning, and the people they want to win, good conservatives and RINOs alike, are failing miserably.

People who win these major straw polls (and this is the major straw poll - the candidates were pretty much all there, trying) are not candidates who can not win.

The pundits have always used CPAC as tea leaves as to “who can win”. The CPAC winner always got credibility.

But the media, who love the bankers and the Fed, will look at the CPAC results and diminish them because they don’t like the results.

This is CPAC. Reagan spoke here over 10 times.

A lot of college stoners.

But only Ron Paul and to a lesser degree Mitt Romney understood where they were, and what they were supposed to do there, which apparently includes buying college stoners with weed and fast food.

Whatever it is, the goal was to win. And Ron Paul won, and Mitt Romney isn’t doing as well as he used to, but he still did well.

And everybody but Ron Paul and Mitt Romney (and Gary Johnson, actually) failed miserably at doing anything to show that they have even the barest scraps of a campaign organization.

Yes, it is easy to buy college kids weed and bus them to an event, and find them places to stay, etc.

But none of the candidates could do any of that. Only Ron Paul and Mitt Romney have any sort of organization, to do the boring day to day stuff that successful campaigns have to do. The CPAC story was open to any candidate that could do 10% who the media likes at least a little. And none of them could put anything together. No organizations at all. Sad.
