The Wonkette team made it through two of CPAC's three days before a combination of disgust and alcohol poisoning finally sent us running, so we're a little late tonight with the thrilling news (?) that Doctor Ron Paul won the wingnut straw poll! Ron Paul is going to be president again! So awesome. He won last year, too. This means Ron Paul is now a two-term president and will have to "stand down for socialism" in 2012. Who said winning was easy? Also, he got less than a third of the vote, which proves nothing more than 1) Ron Paul always gets his loyalists to vote in the straw poll, and B) The Republican "conservatives" are just a confused & jumbled mess today. They really don't know what to do. Romney is still Mormon and Liberal, Sarah Palin is still some halfwit teevee grifter with a never-ending series of tawdry scandals, Donald Trump is a dumb muppet clown, etc. (Why is Donald Trump even mentioned?

Also, the headline for the collection of CPAC "news" on CNN is "Obama the butt of jokes at CPAC". Do you know the title of a president who is the butt of jokes at CPAC? President.
Herman Cain might be a more impressive candidate if Godfather's Pizza didn't TASTE LIKE OLIVE-OIL FLAVORED RUBBER. That shit's just nasty.
Hey...just because it is completely unscientific, has no predictive value, and only represents the opinion of the people attending the annual conference on that given day who are in no way a representative sample of either primary voters or the general public....wait, what?

I wonder how many votes actual "straw" would get.
Christine O'Donnell swears by it. Brooms don't build themselves, you know.

I would say that the votes for Palin and Bachmann do prove one thing: at least 7% of CPAC voters are frankly psychotic. Data is data, people.
