Perhaps M.D.&M.D is more appropriate.

(24,692 posts)Rand Paul won a high-profile straw poll for a third straight year Saturday, capping an annual conservative conference at which delegates argued about how to turn their ideas into a presidential victory in 2016. The Kentucky senator won with 25.7%, while Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker carried 21.4% -- a closer-than-expected tally in this early test of political strength among conservative Republican activists.
Sen. Ted Cruz finished third with 11.5%, followed closely by retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson with 11.4%. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush -- perhaps the most criticized candidate at this conservative conclave -- finished fifth at 8.3%.
As CPAC members swapped stories and handed out buttons and pamphlets in the hallways, the long-time tension between "real conservatives" and "establishment Republicans" surfaced repeatedly. It could be seen in the reactions to one prospective candidate in particular: Jeb Bush.
Republicans said the prospect of a "third Obama term" possibly in the form of Hillary Clinton will convince most Americans to support a conservative in 2016.
