CNN says McCain came in 5th at CPAC straw poll. Anybody hear who was first? Guessing Romney...

[flpoljunkie]

since Giuliani's speech landed like a lead balloon--but perhaps, Giuliani had enough ringers in to win the straw poll--although I read Romney bused in several vans of college students to the convention.

1. anne coulter? that would be my guess

[BOSSHOG]

2. Coming in last in a vote

of people attending that hate fest would be a plus. "Conservatives" must be very proud of how they have changed the tone in America. They obviously have no use for the constitution. The existence of a "CPAC event" proves that. Hate, ignorance. Hallmarks of today's conservative movement in America. CPAC, the klan without sheets.

3. I'd guess Brownback.

4. The decaying corpse of Ronald Reagan? N/T

[KingofNewOrleans]

John Edwards?

I hear there's alot of repressed homosexuality at these CPAC things. I could see the CPACers fantasizing that Edwards would be gay.

8. CPACers to each other:

"That boy sure has a purty mouth!"

9. See - now THAT'S how you come back from Coulter's statement.

You don't pander and ask for money, or moan that the corporate media isn't covering it or give Ann some sort of power by allowing her to get us in an uproar.

You reframe the thing to turn them into what they allege we are.

Great comeback!

5. nope, it was Rommey. mcCain was a noshow.

[talkinghead]

6. Romney won

Romney 21%
Giuliani 17%
Brownback 15%
Gingrich 14%
McCain 12%

Not only did McCain come in fifth, he came in last. I had to pollute my MacBook by downloading the file from CPAC so somebody better be thankful. There were some interesting poll questions though.

7. Thanks much, talkinghead! No runaway winner here, but "no show" McCain definite loser.
