The mature statesman, the sagacious and humble leader, the wise physician with the healing balm, the learned expert in economics is here to lead the republican party back to the future, to its roots, i.e. sound monetary policy, limited government, secured borders, non-interventionist foreign policy and individual liberty.

Who should have won CPAC's straw poll?

Ron Paul (the actual winner) 60%

Sarah Palin 12%

Mitt Romney 17%

Tim Pawlenty 2%

Mike Pence 2%

Someone else. 7%

Results were based on 46414 votes
