I just saw on Fox (I have no idea why I had that station on my television) that Ron Paul has won the CPAC straw poll to determine who should be the GOP’s candidate in 2012. The results went as follow Ron Paul 31% Mitt Romney 22% Sarah Palin 7% There was a fourth candidate but I cannot remember who it was. (McCain? Huckabee?) Well anyhow I think we can safely say that, with only 7% of the vote, Sarah Palin is no longer the GOP wet dream. It looks like the majority of the Teabaggers are going to stay with the guy who brought them to the dance, Ron Paul. Their flirtation with Sarah Palin may have ended when she told them to grow up and pick a party. And poor Mitt, the guy has won three years in a row, but he is just too reasonable and boring for the Teabaggers. There are a lot of very intelligent people who like what Ron Paul has to say, but even they agree the guys has absolutely no shot in being elected president. Update: Thanks to krbmjb05 I now have the official results: Ron Paul – 31% Mitt Romney – 22% Sarah Palin – 7% Tim Pawlenty – 6% Mike Pence – 5% Newt Gingrich -4% Mike Huckabee – 4% Mitch Daniels – 2% Rick Santorum – 2% John Thune – 2% Haley Barbour – 1% Other – 5% Undecided – 6% 53% think we need a better field; 46% are fine with it.
