Well, the CPAC straw poll was held on Saturday, and Sunday the results were released. Here are the results:

Notice a few things.
First, the winner of the straw poll was Texas Congressman Ron Paul... again. In second place was Mitt Romney, the man I'll never vote for because his ACTIONS in passing RomneyCare were incredibly similar to our President in passing ObamaCare. We don't need ANOTHER President who believes big government is the answer to everything.
Anyway. The next things to notice are the focus questions. When asked what concerned them most, the largest percentage of votes went towards controlling the size and scope of government. This is a good thing... IF the GOP doesn't dismiss these results entirely and continue on about their political concerns as normal.
Overall, these are good results. I believe, however, that they will be ignored by the GOP because they don't fit into what those leaders want. And the only thing that can stop them is the voters... that's US, ladies and gentlemen.

I would offer the observation that CPAC really doesn't mean much anymore. Face it...Ron Paul can't win a national election because over half of the Republican party would never vote for the guy. As for Mitt...the same problem exists. I don't think Mitt could win a single southern state, and that says a good bit.
