CPAC food for thought:

When Romney won the straw poll in 2008, their were 1558 total votes. In 2010, when Dr. Paul won, their were 2395 votes. This year there were 3742 votes! That's more than a 50% increase in less than a year!

There were 5% less 18-25 year old attendees than last year, hence, more older voters joined in the last year.

84% of the voters believe that their core beliefs and ideology is "...promoting individual freedom and reducing the size and scope of government and its intrusion into the life of its citizens." (Beats all talking points that are constantly raised by other potential candidates).

Dr. Ron Paul won both 1st and 2nd choice votes. Paul 37%, Romney 31%, Johnson 21%. Paul and Johnson together, equals 59% of the total vote.

Conclusion, the message is alive and well! Congratulations Dr. Paul!
