Yes, republicans did throw up. That part is correct.
I’ll try to put the demographics up on my web site when I get home; this vote was primarily the kids.
Is it Ron Paul or Rupaul? With the fagging up of CPAC, I dont know the difference anywmore.
Total BS.
Ron Paul is a NUT, no... Ron Paul is a BIG NUT!
However, many have missed this Factiod: Ron Paul will be 77 years old in 2012. Sarah Palin is supporting Ron Paul's son, Rand Paul, for congress when nobody else will come within 100 miles of him. I wonder which candidate will be receiving Ron Paul's support in 2012.
From here on, CPAC to be referred to by it’s proper name:
RINO-PAC
The mentally stable Republicans will not support Paul.
Earth to Paulistinians:
A 77 year old is not going to win the 2012 Presidential Election. It’s not going to happen.
Reagan was almost 74 in 1984 but he was an extremely popular sitting president.
Ron Paul got how many votes in 2008, total? He’s going to go from that to the presidency in 2012... at age 77?
No wonder the Libertarians are so big on legalizing drugs. They need them to keep their addled fantasies alive.
The reason Ron Paul won the straw poll at CPAC “It’s the economy stupid”
Waste of straws.
The headline shows that such an exercise can be cited for spin.
*throwing up a rival*
utter upchuck!
The reason Ron Paul won the straw poll is because he had a booth at CPAC where he registered attendees to vote and Palin didn't.
Admittedly, other people in the straw poll also had booths at the even where they registered attendees to vote also but in the final analysis, only about 2,500 of the 10,000 or so attendees voted.
In other words, this straw poll is a straw dog.
A straw dog poll.
Palin has never had strong support from the Republican establishment. The only use they have for her is to try to usurp the enthusiasm of her followers.
CPAC is a Republican Establishment event open to all establishment insiders. It is not a conservative event.
Take out Paul and leave Romney in as a potential candidate then I think this straw poll basically says of those that chose to vote that there isn’t a real front runner at this time.
Paul...... 31%
Romney ... 22%
Palin......7%
Pawlenty...6%
Pence .....5%
Gingrich...4%
Huckabee...4%
Daniels ...2%
Santorum...2%
Thune......2%
Barbour....1%
Other......5%
Undecided..6%
Site says 2395 votes cast
Brad is either completely clueless or an paid agent provocateur
Ron Paul is not a rival to Palin, only in Paulbots feeble mind
NO POLL is trustworthy - we need to look at election results! VA, NJ, MA all say the same: STOP SPENDING OUR MONEY!
I sort of agree with that - but with a qualifier. I think Ron Paul's understanding of The Fed and the corruption of the money & banking system is spot on. But his stay at home, mind your own business and only respond if attacked foreign policy leaves me cold. If we had followed that policy in the 40's we would all be speaking German right now. Or Russian. With Ron Paul in charge during WW2 we might even be speaking Japanese. After all what do we care about what happens to some little island in the Pacific?
Bwahahahahahaha!
