Former Governor Mitt Romney (R-Massachusetts) topped all candidates in the straw poll at CPAC conference in Washington, D.C. He won the straw poll last year despite withdrawing from the race less than two weeks prior. Conservatives were so adamantly opposed to Senator John McCain’s (R-Arizona) candidacy that they turned to Romney — who only a few years prior converted to conservatism — to protest their heir-apparent.
But who knows what would have happened to the polling results this year if the Republican leader, Rush Limbaugh, was on the ballot.
Something to say?
