Some typical Ron Paul media denial
This is both interesting and amusing. Ron Paul won the 2010 CPAC Straw Poll, which is an early republican presidential candidate litmus test. Doug Wead writes,
“But no matter how deep the denial of the American media you can be sure that Ron Paul’s victory sent shock waves through the rest of the American establishment.”
And then they got Tim Pawlenty to go on Meet the Press instead of Congressman Paul. Pawlenty came in 3rd with 6%. Ron Paul got 31% of the vote.
This poll by no means indicates that Ron Paul will be the Republican Candidate in 2012, but it may be an indication that he could win as an independent. He certainly has the popular support.
Update 02/24: I found this at Newser, Mike Huckabee Says CPAC is Too Libertarian, Not Relevant. Too Libertarian? Well, Ron Paul won. But not relevant? Just because the typical Republican candidates didn’t win? Because the grassroots movements are getting involved? Don’t you think it’s the mainstream Republicans that are becoming less relevant, and not the people’s opinions? Huckabee seems like a sore loser.
