For the second year in a row, Ron Paul won the presidential straw poll at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, earning 30 percent of the vote.

The Texas congressman, known for his libertarian views, ran for president in 2008 but was never a serious contender for the GOP nomination.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a 2008 GOP candidate who is expected to run again, came in second place with 23 percent of the vote. Romney won the previous three presidential straw polls before Paul snapped his streak last year.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Those straw polls are rigged because Ron Paul and Mitt Romney bus in their groupies, pay their lodging and pay their admission.

Really will help him out like the last time. His supporters are dopes.

So how do they expect anyone to take it seriously....?

For good reason.

It’s a pro gay, pro open borders and pro pot, meet.

[Grunthor]

If straw polls mean’t a damned thing (like primaries) we would have had Ron Paul (shudder) as our nominee vs Obama.

[omega4179]

There should have been a Teapac at the same time to draw away the real stars.

[newfreep]

The winner channeling Al Jolson.

[Cyber Liberty]

...as CPAC draws farther away from credibility.
