Christian Purge Makes CPAC Presidential Poll Results Meaningless: Ron Paul Wins
For the second year in a row, Ron Paul won the presidential straw poll at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, earning 30 percent of the vote.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a 2008 GOP candidate who is expected to run again, came in second place with 23 percent of the vote.
Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie came in a distant third with 6 percent of the vote, followed by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich with 5 percent.
Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels all received 4 percent. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin got 3 percent. Businessman Herman Cain, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and South Dakota Sen. John Thune earned 2 percent. Former U.S. Ambassador Jon Huntsman and Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour finished with 1 percent.
Public Advocate feels since there has been a concerted effort to drive pro-family groups out of CPAC, the poll is meaningless. Many of the candidates did not campaign or send campaign teams due to this year’s “purge” of pro-family forces from the gathering.

I noticed the credit for this report of “Straw poll does not represent real political environment” and Fox News being the contributor.
Well from past performance of Fox,I would just as soon put my faith in a gypsy fortune teller.

Thank God!! these guys still have some sense left in them…a lot i should say…Ron Paul is the only honest man I can see in either party. I may not completely understand his ideology but I feel I can TRUST him.
