And we have a winner

in the first electronic cpac voting ever.

The computers have spoken.

Bleep bloop bleeep bloop bip

Now CPAC will matter

sick. The best part is Ron Paul lost because his supporters weren't there, they were busy working on a Presidential election. If we would have won CPAC, I would have been sick to think we were all wasting out time there. 4th place is fine with me if patriots are too busy going for The White House.

The R3volution requires action, not observation!!!!

OMG Mitt wins in DC. Who could imagine

CPAC, Washington insiders and the GOP prefer to change the rhetoric while keeping all the same existing policies. This was clearly the "Anybody but Ron Paul Vote".

His win was only good for less than 2 hours cause thats when Ron Paul cleaned his clock in Maine. I love the irony.

A vote for the lesser of two evils is still a vote for evil.
A vote for liberty is always a vote for liberty.
I will vote for Ron Paul as either the nominee or as a write in.

Isn't it nauseating?

CPAC wasn't "important" when Ron Paul was winning, but now David Frum says CPAC is "more important" than Maine, because it is more "representative" of the nation.

LOL! Time to downplay Paul's

LOL! Time to downplay Paul's win in ME and highlight Romney's CPAC win!

CPAC;

The "conservative" organization which has no conservatives in it.
They should change it to NeoconPAC.

Why are we in 4th?

It is obvious. We didn't care about CPAC so we didn't go this year.

Watch the Kokesh video? It was DEAD there this year. I don't think we lost by subterfuge. I think we lose b/c we didn't care to go.

How did Ron Paul go from 2

How did Ron Paul go from 2 previous first places to fourth this year?

Naturally, the Ron Paul supporters didn't come in droves this time. It would have been great of course if they did to compliment Paul's win in ME. Now the MSM will only report Mitt's win in the CPAC and ignore Paul's win in ME. If Paul won both, they would not have a choice but to show both victories or they will have no news to show.

They also changed the voting method from paper to electronic so they can game the voting results against Paul.

Googled cpac rigged votes

and found this from a Sara Palin website.."The CPAC straw poll at the 2012 CPAC event will be a gauge of which remaining Republican presidential candidate is most preferred by the conservative leaders in attendance.

The 2011 CPAC straw poll was essentially rigged by supporters of Texas congressman Ron Paul, as he won by a wide margin."

whoa nelly on that one!

CPAC should have been called C-CRAP this year

12%, last place

So the straw poll results have Dr. Paul in last place. Does anyone think that is related to the new electronic voting? To go from 1st 2 years in a row to last? hmmmm

Electronic voting should be a

Electronic voting should be a red flag for everyone. No hard copy...no trail!

CPAC Without "Uncle Ronnie" Is Like A Head With No Brain

Ha!

I guess it is easier to win

if the other team doesn't show up!

hmmm...

what say ye that CPAC has lost it's relevancy?

“The law cannot make a wicked person virtuous…God’s grace alone can accomplish such a thing.” Ron Paul - The Revolution

So let me get this straight

all of the questions in the poll in order of importance point to Dr Paul winning but yet he comes in last?????? I am not really buying that one.

And the winner is....

The new electronic voting worked perfectly!

He can go pull my finger!!

They booed romney

I guess the machines screwed them like it screws us. Santorum folks learn to lick the boot of your masters. what a joke that is!

Fewer voters this year

Even though they used the electronic vote stealing machine.

So if Paul wins Maine, we

So if Paul wins Maine, we know the headlines tomorrow will be all about CPAC.

Of course!

Ron Paul didn't win 3 years in a row, so now it matters. What a farce.

I guess Romney's people stuffed the ballot boxes

; )

Well, that nips the "surging Santorum" storyline in the bud

Probably best that Mitt won - people will believe it was just a test of organization. But it does cast doubt on Santorum. Good news for us.

SANTORUM SPURTS IN CO, MN & MO BUT ONLY TRICKLED IN MAINE

That's the headline i see

BOOOOO - Conservative = Ron

BOOOOO -

Conservative = Ron Paul
Tea Party = Ron Paul

Anything else is absolute MSM spin

Romney wins CPAC

Frothy second, Gingwit 3rd, Paul 4th.

GEAUX RON PAUL 2012.

Romney wins CPAC...

big surprise there. Ron last? I really hate the republican party.
