The contest is a reliably headline-grabbing test of the conservative base’s preferred candidates -– and with hundreds of activists gathered in Washington for the final CPAC vote before the primary season, Mitt Romney’s team poured thousands of dollars into the event. Scores of Romney volunteers sporting identical campaign T-shirts, bused in at the campaign’s expense, stumped hard in the halls of the Omni Shoreham."

I love it, why hasn't the media made such a deal out of the Romney camp officially "spamming" straw polls and busing in supporters. He did this in Iowa to and I'm sure any other opportunity. Meanwhile, Dr. Paul's supporters are criticized for doing the same thing spontaneously, usually at their own expense and then the results discredited.

The straw polls were a great test run for Romney.

I've seen several reports on these forums about how people didn't have their ID checked at the door when they went for the real vote. Makes you wonder how many people Romney bused into each state & paid off to vote for him.
