Last night, was the closing of the CPAC conference and, uh, the whole weekend, was great, from Rubio, to Romney, to Pawlenty, to Will, to well, everyone there.
But the most interesting part was at the end, when they took a straw poll, for the 2012 GOP candidate.
The result, was shocking and exciting. The libertarian, Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) won the poll with 31% The next best was Mitt Romney with 22%. A 9 point lead! 9 point lead for Ron Paul. And notice that the, Huckabee, was second to last. With i believe 2%. Sarah Palin was 3rd with only 7%. So the winner, by a landslide, was one of the only if not the only, true libertarians in the house, Ron Paul.
Perhaps the libertarian GOP of Goldwater is coming back. But then again, perhaps not.
As Glenn Beck said last night:
Republicans are like progressive lite. It's like if someone is sticking a screw driver in your eye, and the other guy is saying no stop, stop. And then he pulls it out but puts a pin in your eye.
(that was paraphrased)
