The older crowd live prefers the Mitt.

Why am I not surprised?

That would make for an interesting general election with the anti-war candidate being a Republican. There would be a lot of crossover votes from the far left.

I have Paulian friends on myspace and facebook. I’m sure they are giddy. Funny, none of it matters.

It will be interesting to see how this gets reported in conservative media. When Ron Paul kept winning Fox’s text message polls after each 2008 Primary debate, the Fox talking heads would attempt to delegitimize the results as they reported them.

Oooh, smart. Tells the women to bring some more of their “brethren” to increase female participation.

How old is Ron Paul?

He’d be even older than McCain was when he ran wouldn’t he?

That more than 50% of the respondents didn’t like the slate of candidates as presented to them is sort of telling…. this is an unsettled crowd that is scatter-shooting their anger. It really is the “anti” crowd.

Ron Paul will be 77 years old in 2012. DOB - August 20, 1935
McCain was 72 in 2008. DOB - August 29, 1936

Doesn’t Ron Paul always win polls? He even used to win them here in open polls if I recall.

re: #17 Naso Tang

They are rigged. His supporters flood the poll. That is how he always wins.

19 Slumbering Behemoth Stinks  Sat, Feb 20, 2010 3:50:10pm

Part of me wishes the GOP would run him as the nominee in ‘12, just so we can get this shit-storm over with.

“Boos as Ron Paul wins CPAC straw poll”

He’s 74. A year older than McCain already is. It was funny. Couple years ago during the primaries some of the Paulians were making fun of McCain’s age and I reminded them that their dude was older than McCain.

Ron Paul versus Obama in ‘12 would make Mondale look like Galactus. You would see a landslide that would defeat the very definition of landslide.

24 celticdragon  Sat, Feb 20, 2010 10:09:46pm

As John Cole said.. “that put a nine iron right through Tim Pawlentey’s campaign”. Heh!

Bunch of slanted college students who manipulated the results.

If he got less than 125% of the votes, his support has declined when compared to the straw polls from the last election.

I don’t know which candidate is more unelectable, Paul, or Palin.

Doesn’t this mean that 69% of the voters wanted “Someone other than Ron Paul?”
