CPAC is a bit like a Star Trek convention. There are a lot of people who like the Star Trek TV shows and movies who would never check into a hotel for a weekend to attend a convention. Same thing with conservatives. Other than for think tanks and elected officials there really aren’t a lot of important things you can accomplish there. It’s mostly wonks and nerds and that more or less describes the Ron Paul crowd. So of course he’d come out on top in a convention poll, as would Mr. Spock.
Of course Ron Paul would come out on top in a convention poll.
There’s a big convention poll coming summer 2012.
