WASHINGTON (Associated Press) -- Rep. Ron Paul won the most support for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination in an unofficial straw poll of conservative activists attending an annual conference.

The good news: governments will have to live within their means. The bad news: this won’t matter, if al Qaeda wins.
Sorry, but Ron Paul is NOT a serious contender in my book.
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
Hope this doesn’t mean another Obama term.
Go, Ru...
...wait
...Ron?
CBS Evening News led with this story tonight.
U know... I use to think he was a nut.... but then compared to Pelosi and Reid he is a great human being with some good ideas. In fact I never liked his style and delivery but his message always rings when I look back. Fiscally he is dead on...... I believe the Conservative movement should join hands with the Tea party and the Libertarians and forge an unbeatable group against the Kommies and Libs.
why did only one quarter of attendees even bother to vote? was there an extra charge for voting? or if you left early you could not vote?
Odd.
Does anyone on this site still support Paul? or have they been coverted OR banished?
Ron Paul is doing exactly what Romney’s people did so well during the last election. Making sure they have the most supporters at the straw poll to try and get some extra press. Problem is, the straw vote does not equal real votes at the ballot box.
I don't know what kind of conservative activist were gathered there, but I got news for you. At the precinct GOP caucus I attended last Saturday Ron Paul came in dead last with only 2 votes in the straw poll take at the door. Way ahead and in first place was Palin with around 25, and coming in second was Mitt, and Huckabee followed by another six or seven names including McCain. Ron Paul was dead last and lower than McCain, thats how bad he did.
A couple of twits on the Texas GOP Vote blog are having fits that anyone thinks that GOProud is telling us too much information

I keep wishing that Ron Paul would take the advice he gave our soldiers in Iraq: march right out (of DC) the same way he marched in.
I guess they missed the fact he was being booed before he even started to speak.
Oh Oh. At CPAC? were fooling our selves , hes going no where
Leftist forum has a thread up “Please Mother Earth, Let Ron Paul win the GOP nomination”
How are brainwashed students conservative activists?
In the convention's presidential poll, the conservatives were all over the place in their picks......while the Paulists held firm and their guy slipped in.....just as planned.
The conservatives foiled again.
Ron Paul is a saboteur of the conservative movement. His mission is to create division and chaos, not to be president......and he's good at what he's doing. He also craves the spotlight by participating in national presidential debates. To me personally, I concluded many years ago he's not quite playing with a whole deck. He's weird.
Wait till his minions infiltrate the Tea Parties to make them look abnormal, like they just did to the conservatives at the CPAC in the poll.
The outcome of the poll was no accident.
