Pauliacs are very well organized. Paul won many presidential straw poll states, but in elective states he didn’t do squat

How many Paulestinians did they bus in?The Paul's are good at winning meaningless straw polls.
If straw polls meant anything, old kooky Ron would be President for life.
To: PaulCruz2016
Of course straw polls never mean anything.

Actually, Cruz #2 at 11% is great news, considering this is CPAC.

Thanks. I laughed at the headline, too (I know, Rand not Ron, but still).

Paul is not a Conservative. I wont vote for any candidate who is not a Conservative..just like last time.

Pauliacs are very well organized. Paul won many presidential straw poll states, but in elective states he didnt do squatThe cult of Paul is very good at bringing a small group of energized people out to win presidential straw polls, but they pretty much flop when it comes to actual primaries. Perhaps Rand will be different, but I highly doubt it. Rand won't be the nominee, though I expect he will be more competitive than his father.

RAND PAUL 30.01% (25,110 votes)
TED CRUZ 29.32% (24,533 votes)
SARAH PALIN 4.97% (4,160 votes)

Here endeth the lesson

Everything worth knowing about Rand Paul is summed up quite succinctly, in just a few letters, by the founder of America's forum for Conservative activism,
Mr. Jim Robinson. Our host has an uncanny ability to separate the pretenders from the real deal and has long been onto the fraud that is Rand's old man. As a guest here, I'm on board with what our host has clearly stated. Like father, like son really does apply in this case.
Go Sarah go! As for me, I find Paul (both of them) appalin' and Palin appealin'.

While I prefer Cruz on top I think its going to take both of them to win.

I’ve worked several Iowa caucuses, one as a campaign advance man and one as a party functionary. People have NO IDEA the effort required to get your people to those little meetings all over 99 counties. If the Ron Paul supporters were as organized as they claim to be, they’d have pulled off a surprise win there.

Absurd.
“Paul” wins every straw poll and online poll, every time. There’s not even a point to having them.
Cruz is the Conservative favorite right now.

Yes, old man Ron Paul won many a CPAC straw poll. I was there in 2009 and he won that year. I voted for Palin.
