The people who vote at CPAC are usally organized in advance by people who have an interest in nabbing the “CPAC winner” headline. Either people who are almost cult like in devotion or people who are paid. Ron was the first and Romney is the second reason. Everyone else who participates follows their own conscience.

Most people who attend CPAC skip the poll though.

Palin didn’t organize supporters toward this poll and unlike Paul’s supporters I don’t think hers took it upon themselves to rcae down to CPAC to win this poll. It is fairly interesting she came in third without any campaign here.

Haven't we learned that we need to vote? Does CPAC want to be irrelevant?

Only about 2400 out of 10,000 in attendance voted. With some saying this is not an accurate representation.

This seems to beg the question:

Why if other candidates could be voted for, and were on the agenda, why did they fail to vote?

Either people who are almost cult like in devotion or people who are paid. Ron was the first and Romney is the second reason. Everyone else who participates follows their own conscience.

I have no idea what this means...

If the huge majority of people that did not vote, and have no interest, why did they even show up??

Yeah, a fantastic result, 7%. Down from last year. But she did squeak by Pawlenty. There’s your headline “Palin beats Pawlenty for 3rd”
