1. Oh, yes. PLEASE.

A Paul-Palin ticket for the Rethugs in '12...Please...

[JoePhilly]

6. Bwahahahaha!!!!!

[Bullet1987]

20. Ron Paul would never side with someone like Sarah Palin

[damonm]

24. Hey, a guy can dream, no?

Thanks for the buzzkill...:P

[tridim]

2. Hehe

Idiots. :rofl:

[Hippo_Tron]

3. I would actually love for Paul to be the Republican nominee

The President would kick his ass and Paul would raise some important issues like drug decriminalization and the military industrial complex.

Without the Republican calls of "weak on security" and "soft on crime" and "soft on drugs" the focus would be on domestic issues where libertarianism isn't going to win in this climate.

[argonaut]

4. LOL, 50-state Obama landslide.

Hell, with none of the evangelicals turning out for Paul and pretty much everyone else voting Obama, it would be possible. There's not enough nutjob libertarians to elect Paul.

[Ter]

21. Nah

Idaho and Montana and their militia vote would go for Paul big time. We will never see a 50 state blowout.

[ProSense]

5. .

:rofl:

[pruple]

7. Rick Man on Dog Santorum didn't make the list?

[katsy]

8. Oh yeah.

:applause: :woohoo: :rofl: :bounce:

Go for it teabaggers. Love when these morlocks get to vote all grown up like and get to strut their stuff out in the open.

[Frustratedlady]

9. Is this CPAC fiasco being shown on any channel?

I see bits and pieces, but was wondering if there is anyplace where it can be watched.

[JoePhilly]

11. You have to hope that it is all being recorded ....

Its like one of the Tea Parties .... but with the establishment GOP serving the Tea.

[jefferson_dem]

15. C-SPAN.

Glenn Beck is ranting like a lunatic (literally) right now - http://www.cspan.org/Watch/Media/2010/02/20/HP/R/29840/Beck+wraps+up+CPAC+conference.aspx

[Frustratedlady]

16. Thanks! I had checked it before I posted, but Bolton was on.

I'll see if I can catch it on a rerun.

[femmocrat]

10. Love it!

Can you imagine if Palin had won? She would have been all over the TV yet again.

[JoePhilly]

12. Can't wait for Fox News to annoint Ron Paul as their "Guy"!!!

Bwahahahahaha ... like that would ever happen!!!

:rofl:

[Bullet1987]

22. That'll never happen. The Rethug elite hate Paul.

That's why they hijacked his movement.

[boppers]

13. "54 percent of those who voted were age 18-25"

http://realclearpolitics.blogs.time.com/2010/02/20/ron-paul-wins-cpac-straw-poll/

....Has some interesting breakdowns, but it looks to me like Anonymous was having some fun. I'm guessing Rick Astley wasn't on the ballot.

[Drunken Irishman]

14. Poor Mitt. He must be crushed.

[pdxmom]

17. A 75 year old man is their vision of the future? Seriously? N/T

[Rosco T.]

18. Paul wouldn't let Pailn NEAR his ticket...

he's a whackjob, but out of all of them, hes got a little common sense...

[cadmium]

26. You may be giving these people too much credit

for believing their stated principles. Sarah Palin is campaigning for Rand Paul - Ron Paul's son and his mirror image on issues. They value power and partisanship mostly.

[KingFlorez]

19. It's a long shot, but it could happen

If Paul could organize get enough fringe votes in the right early primary states to edge out others, he could pull off the nomination. The general election would be a blowout, which would be very entertaining.

[Bullet1987]

23. I don't know if I would call Paul fringe

A lot of younger Republican voters like him. He's no where near the Republican version of Obama though and the GOP would never accept him. He's not pro-corporate.

[old mark]

25. My wife always confuses him with RuPaul.....I can't see the resemblance, myself.

I would be overjoyed if Ron were the GOP choice for 2012, but remember tha last 2 CPAC choices were
George Allen (?) and Mitt Romney, neither of whom made a very big splash in the elections.

Ron Paul for President!!!11!! (Or was that RuPaul?)
