At CPAC, the race for Second Place as Ron Paul goes all out

[bobbyw24]

The Conservative Political Action Conference's annual straw poll typically indicates three things: Whom CPAC's segment of the conservative base prefers for president; who bought tickets for their supporters; and whether Ron Paul is really trying.

The evidence so far this year is that Paul -- who won big in 2010, and whose energetic core of supporters have proven a lot better at winning him beauty contests than primaries -- is in it to win it.

How nice to make a win inevitable and a loss to someone like Romney (which everyone else will suffer) a terrible defeat. Now we do have to win this. And it isn't as if Romney hasn't gone 'all out' for years. They just don't mention it.

I personally found the article very funny and inciteful. I love the title that suggests that Ron has enough loyal support to best virtually any other top tier candidate (at least in polls). Also the quote from Benton even further confirms to me that Dr. Paul will run.
