No surprise at all. There are bunches of Paulites among the student attendees and the students are half or more of CPAC.

Is that story a joke? Ron Paul?? Give me a break. Geesh!

The Daily Mail is their New York Daily News as I understand it. It's not a blog or a tabloid.

I don’t know what the US equivalent would be but the Daily Mail is a broadsheet national daily.
I wouldn’t trust the Mail for international news of any kind - they’re better than the Mirror or the Express, but that’s not saying much. Here they conflate ‘libertarian’ with ‘liberal’, which is a disastrous mistake on both sides of the Atlantic.

NO, he won’t go third party.
BTW Barr made the difference on NC.

“Rabid” is right, Ron Paul is a NUT and any so-called “conservative” that voted for him is NUTS!

That’s silly. Paul will probably garner the most votes at next year’s Circus-PAC too.

He did last year too.
But, Sarah did not bother.
Allen West took her spot and was GREAT.

All you have to know to know that CPAC is irrelevant is this - a guy named Gary Johnson came in third, with 21 percent of the vote. I follow politics pretty closely, and I had to look him up to even find out who he is. He doesn’t have a snowball’s chance of coming anywhere close to winning anything in the primaries. By the way, he’s for legalizing pot use, so put him together with Ron Paul and you’ve got almost 60% of CPAC voters looking like a bunch of potheads. Great job, folks!

Yeah, and Wesley Clark won Dixville Notch, NH in the 2004 Democrat primary. It means just about as much.
With CPAC, not showing up means you don’t get considered.
Heck, if I were there, I’d accept Michelle’s free beer; that’s the honorable way of buying votes.
