Quote:
GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney won the close-watched Conservative Political Action Conference presidential straw poll on Saturday.

Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, took 38% of the vote in the poll. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum received 31%, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich was at 15% and Texas Rep. Ron Paul stood at 12%.
Now THAT's surprising to me. CPAC is usually so conservative that they seem to usually go for someone who hasn't got a shot, but is rightest of right.

Maybe one more sign that Romney's going to get it in the end?

A sign ?

This leaves Frothy Santorum in what must be for him an uncomfortable position: Trying to gird his loins and mount a desperate attempt to surge and push and come from behind!

Meanwhile, Romney slips up and lets himself be a little bit honest once again, and shows us what he really loves...
