And the winner is…Ron Paul? HA!
The annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), which has been going on for many years, is a bellwether of where the action is on the right side of the political spectrum – and the news from the latest gathering has both the traditional Buckley-style right and the Obama-ite liberal-left in shock. The CPAC presidential polls are a conference tradition, and the winner is often hailed as not only the up-and-coming champion of the Republican “hard” right but also a serious presidential contender. The winner of the previous three CPAC polls, Mitt Romney, was accorded such status early on in part because of his CPAC victories, but this time he was left in the dust by congressman Ron Paul.
Sorry Sarah, nobody but yourself and your legions of Facebook fundies takes you seriously, and Mitt, well, your time has past, thankfully. Not that the powers that be will allow someone as threatening to their interests as Paul to run…but the people want him.
