LMAO, they're already spinning another Ron Paul thrashing of Mitt Romney:


After listening to the speakers, attendees at the conference will vote in the straw poll; if Romney wins despite not attending (or comes in second behind Paul) it will be taken as a sign of his strength. But it's worth noting that the winner of the 2006 straw poll, Sen. Bill Frist, never even entered the 2008 race.

In other words, if Ron Paul wins, his victory is meaningless, but Mitt Romney's second-place finish will prove his strength. LOL

Paul, of course, is a libertarian-leaning Republican who could well duplicate his 2008 run, but he is seen as a candidate with passionate but limited appeal within the party. Paul won the straw poll at the Conservative Political Action Conference in February, though critics were quick to point out that the respondents were not necessarily representative of the GOP as a whole.

I love this bullshit. They can't type a single sentence showing RP in a positive light without negating the positive theme.

Man, it will be worth going to this thing just to keep Palin from winning... lol

Did anyone else notice that they said "or second behind Paul about Romney"?? ;)

that is the key but if the gop does not run ron paul type candidates. Then i do not think the gop as is will get many votes,no matter what the media or the failed establishment gop tries to say, no one is buying their bs this time around.

People may not like obama but after 8 yrs of bush. they do not trust the failed gop establishment . As for local races most republicans i know are running away or distancing themselves as one of those failed gop establishment folks! they are running opposite of what the biggovcogop and gop are trying to push!!!

2010 is the BIRTH OF LIBERTY MOVEMENT and if the gop doesn't get with the program. They will only alienate themselves!!!

we need to remind everyone the failed gop leadership is the problem in the gop not obama!!

I actually agree with this. We are working on an illussion here. We, and everyone else knows that 80 or 90 percent Ron Paul votes we often get in polls is at the very least a result of our intense on and offline follwing at often the result of pure spamming.. It doesn't matter if the poll is spammed or not. It will be ignored when margin of vicotry is that big. Small wins look much more credible. Even some close 2nd place victories might not be bad.

This isn't 2007 when polls were good for name recognition. Ron Paul is better known. The game has changed some. Its time we change how we plan on winning it. Even the little stuff like online polls.

The reason why the question about Jindal not being a Natural born citizen is beucse his father and mother were immigrants from the India, and not American citizens. They come to America in 1970 and he was born in 1971.

Were you lurking here in 2008? There were numerous threads questioning McCain's legitimacy as president. But Obama stepped in and co-sponsored a Bill, the wording of which sounds like he is trying to make a case for himself being president as well due to the claims of his illegitimacy.

Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign announced he would co-sponsor legislation introduced yesterday by his political ally Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) to ensure that John McCain can become president, even though he was born in the Panama Canal Zone.
“Senator McCain has earned the right to be his party’s nominee, and no loophole should prevent him from competing in this campaign,” Obama said.

If born in Baton Rouge - as a google search had found - Jindal should be eligible as a native-born U.S. citizen.

McCain being resolved or defined in Congress as eligible makes no sense as Congress has no authority to make hollow claims of constitutionality and was really just making fools of anyone who donated to the Panama-born U.S.citizen who never could have been sworn in to take the Oath of Office.

I will be voting for him regardless of whether or not he gets nominated (it will be my first presidential vote), unless a person with similar beliefs gets nominate like Gary Johnson.

But, we are going to have a huge problem on our hands because the Neo-cons are going to try to sound like conservatives like they have been since Obama became President. So we are going to have to try hard to differentiate the Ron Paul type conservativeness and the Neo-con type "conservativeness".

You are wrong. And here is why...the polls (online and straw polls )are NOT an accurate representation of our support in the GOP. If they were then the GOP would risk losing elections by ignoring them. Straw polls, at least represent and active following more involved in the party structure. We should try and win these polls. Online polls mean absoultely nothing because they can by "fairly" dismissed as simply not even close to accurate, especially when 80 to 90 percent of the votes are for Ron Paul.

And yes. You figured it out. I work for Fox News.
