Chaos Erupts As Ron Paul Wins CPAC Straw Poll 2011

Daily News @ http://RevolutionNews.US — And the winner of the CPAC presidential straw poll is ... Ron Paul.

That marks the libertarian Texas congressman's second win in a row. Just as he did last year, Mitt Romney came in second, with 23 percent to Paul's 30 percent. This mirrors 2010's poll almost exactly, when Paul got 31 percent and Romney 22 percent.

When the results were officially announced, CPAC's main hall erupted in cheers and boos, with Paul supporters trying to out-shout the disappointed majority.

Former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson, whose libertarian message largely overlaps with Paul's, and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie tied for third with 6 percent each. Newt Gingrich got 5 percent. Former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty got just 4 percent. Also with 4 percent were Michele Bachmann and Mitch Daniels, Indiana's governor. Sarah Palin, who did not attend CPAC, got 3 percent, while former Godfather's Pizza CEO Herman Cain greceived 2 percent, as did Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum.

3,742 people participated in the poll, a minority of the 10,000+ attendees. (See what the straw poll ballot looks like here.)

Paul's support can at least partly be ascribed to friendly groups buying CPAC tickets en masse for Paul fans, who also made their presence known this year by heckling Dick Cheney.

News headline in November 2012:

"Obama lost election" and not a line on how Paul won. Get out and vote for Ron Paul people!

[fairfax1000]

He is the only hope for America!!And if he wins, considering the influence of the USA on the world,he could change the tendency towards a new world order that now seems to be inevitable!!!

[johnmoore4]

Listen to these condescending announcers.

[sleepyeyeguy]

go here and vote RP in the poll mymotherlode d0 t c0 m

[Djeezes]

He's the only hope for the whole world, really. For long the yearning of freedom has stagnated. A president like this could be a new image in how politics could be. The world could prosper and join hands individually, by choice and the attraction of cooperation. This without losing ourselves within a cesspool of prepacked impersonal solution presented by these so called politicians.

over half the people who like ron paul, only like him because they smoke weed. 

[useruser380]

@MrPeace2mind YES!

[itsanameisntit]

Once Ron Paul wins the presidency, they'll be saying that's not really important either.

[disposablefreedom]

@Mega7thsun I know what you mean..I am an American and I just don't understand why people can't understand that this Government does NOT have thier best interest at heart.It's a power seeking greedy nation now and this man is our only hope..I for the life of me cannot understand why more eyes havn't opened to the corporate greed and desire to control and police the public..I'm voting Ron Paul I just hope more follow suit..O_o"

[SuperWasteBasket]
