The ConCon chooses

CPAC is over for another year, ending with their traditional straw poll that to my knowledge has never actually foretold the eventual nominee, but the results are interesting. This is the best and the brightest of the GOP's future, at least according to the "new" conservatives:

2010 CPAC Straw Poll Results
Ron Paul 31%
Mitt Romney 22%
Sarah Palin 7%
Tim Pawlenty 6%
Mike Pence 5%
Newt Gingrich 4%
Mike Huckabee 4%
Mitch Daniels 2%
John Thune 2%
Rick Santorum 2%
Haley Barbour 1%

I'm surprised that Scott Brown wasn't on their list. Thought he was their new golden boy. Via Dana at WaPo. No need to click the link. The post didn't really say anything else of interest.
