I don’t anticipate that Newt will win the straw poll because the voting commenced early.

Santorum spoke early this morning and Romney spoke a few minutes ago.

Newt’s speech is already reported to be packed, standing room only, overflow. Likewise for Romney’s. Like Romney, Newt Gingrich will speak in the Main Ballroom.

"I don’t anticipate that Newt will win the straw poll because the voting commenced early."

From what I recall reading about the last CPAC these straw polls are a complete joke. The Ron Paul bunch get in there and vote early and then the polls close.

In the worst way, I do not want to make enemies on FR, but I guess it was meant to be.

I will continue to support Newt until or unless he decides to drop.

GO NEWT GO—it’s about the survival of our country!!

RuPaul "won" the CPAC straw poll in 2010 and 2011. Even though CPAC changed the voting process to try to prevent the flaming RuPaul spam monkeys from making a farce of it again this time, I suspect the outcome will be the same.
