Romney tops conservative straw poll |
2007-03-04 |
Mitt Romney won the most support for the Republican presidential nomination in a straw poll of GOP activists attending an annual conference. Despite his record of inconsistency on some social issues, the former Massachusetts governor got 21 percent of the 1,705 votes cast by paid registrants to the three-day Conservative Political Action Conference. They were asked who their first choice would be for the Republican nomination. Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor whose moderate stances on social issues irks the party's right wing, was second with 17 percent. |

#3 Bogus alert. Romney bused in his supporters, while Rudy and the others just showed up. Bogus poll, bogus results. Romney loses respect in my mind for this crap. One demerit for Mitt. He thinks we're stupid. |

#2 I agree FOBmate. I think it's high time for Georgia to get a .... second chance at producing a successful U.S. president. |

#1 Is Newt not running or in the discussion? I like Newt the best of all but could live w/a Romney/Rudy ticket. No McCain though - I'm done w/him. |
