Congratulations to anti-Fed, libertarian Congressman Ron Paul, who just won the first "primary" of the 2012 election!
Well, technically it wasn't a primary, it was a straw poll held at CPAC, the huge conservative convention that's been going on the last few days.
In the straw poll, Paul easily whipped second-place finisher Mitt Romney -- the former PE chief and liberal Massachusetts governor, who's trying to ride Scott Brown's coattails to a second chance at his party's Presidential nomination.
Of course, this was a narrow field -- only CPAC attendees were eligible for the vote (no Sarah Palin this year) -- and only 25% of attendees voted. But still!
