Wow.

Yeah, it's easy to dismiss CPAC as a libertarian lovefest or RINO ranch, but Palin finished behind even Bachmann.

That's not good when you consider how similar their stands on issues are and how popular both are with tea partiers.

It makes one wonder if the activists there think Sarah's become unelectable.

Everybody wants REAL change from an outsider.
Trump will win the nomination.

Straw polls are worthless. Isn’t Paul’s winning this one evidence enough of that?

Yeah, the Paul-Turds managed to get enough fudgepackers and college students useful idiots to show up and vote for Ron Paul in a straw poll that means absolutely nothing.

Must be real proud of THAT accomplishment ....(/sarc)

LOL. This says more about CPAC than about anyone else.

Ron Paul won their straw poll for the second year straight? Good! We've been saying for two years straight now that CPAC has been co-opted by liberaltarians and RINOs. This just proves it.

How well did Paul do in the presidential primaries in 2008? Hmmmm?

Ron Paul wins repeatedly, but doesn’t even come close to winning the primaries.

I wouldn’t take the poll too seriously these days.

Ron Paul’s showing, according to Coulter, is the result of CPAC’s extremely young audience, one without home ownership, children, or perspective.

And she’s right. A lead in a straw poll (or lack of one) at CPAC really means nothing.

“It makes one wonder if the activists there think Sarah’s become unelectable.”

I do think that’s the case. Sarah Palin has been smeared by the MSM almost non-stop since becoming a national figure. Too bad, as she didn’t deserve it. I think that she should contribute to the cause in a non-candidate capacity. She can still do a lot of good without running for office.

How did Alan West do?

CPAC is a dead letter. Nobody cares.

Being behind liberal lines, you’ve obviously become brilliant. I think Ithaca has stolen your brain. Just take a gander at the prescient 2007 CPAC straw poll and see what they predicted. *Snickering*: http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/cpac_straw_poll/
