Paul is about third or fourth on my very short list of Republicans I will vote for.
Christi ain’t even on that list.
Palin
Cruz
Paul

Is this poll a regular thing? What’s its track record in predicting primary winners?

“He noted that the Island is “overrun with limited government, small government conservatives.”

“Not too many liberals on the Island this week,” Paul said with a laugh.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush came in with 42 votes, while Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker got 39 votes. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz trailed behind at 36 votes. Of those at the conference, 526 voted.”

From the voting it looks like the Island was overrun with liberals and RINOs.

When Runt Paul and Christie Creame are the top vote getters there weren’t many conservatives voting.

Rand isn’t perfect, but he’s a darned sight better than Christie.

I agree with others. For me its a short list. Cruz, Palin, and Paul are my list.

How about a Ted Cruz-Ron Paul presidential ticket. Or it could be Ron Paul-Ted Cruz.

Both are young and dynamic like the image Obama crafted for himself. This county wants young, not some senile backstabber like John McCain. Mitt Romney had a dynamic image but the Democrats were able to trash it and define Romney as an out of touch plutocrat who had no use for the white middle to lower class.

While I certainly prefer Paul to Christie (by far) they do have one thing in common.

Their chances of being elected President are somewhere between slim and none.

Are these the same straw polls that Ron Paul consistently won because his followers, mostly the same as support Rand Paul, spammed the Straw Polls?

Remember both in 2008 and 2012 how Ron Paul would routinely win Straw Polls and he didn’t have a chance in Hell of winning anything.

Chris Christie’s chance of becoming president is zero.

Rand Paul does not articulate the necessary conviction we see in Cruz.

Cruz for POTUS!

Only two on my list. Cruz and Paul. Too bad Paul is falling down on Obamacare.

I wasn’t at Mackinac this year, but that’s usually an establishment crowd, not a Paulite crowd or a tea party crowd. The fact that he won says that people are tired of neoconservative Bush policies.
