I swear, they've said "YOU FOLKS READY TO HEAR THE RESULTS?!" about five times, only to hand off to more people.

Quiet! I'm listening to a speech about the history of CPAC straw polls!

Come on..... Come on.....

 

[Occam's Banana]

18-25 year-olds made up 52% of votes

 

[jct74]

52% of straw poll voters age 18-25, good sign for Rand i would say

2,930 votes ...

total?? I thought this was much much bigger than that.

 

[DeadheadForPaul]

52% in between 18-25?

Surely that heavily favors Rand. Ted Cruz may have taken votes away from Rand

 

[itshappening]

Fox news says Rand wins.

 

[IndianaPolitico]

Biggest issue is limited government, lower spending, and less taxes!

 

[Varin]

its leaked that Rand won.

 

[Mr.NoSmile]

These people really grasp the concept of stalling. Same thing happened during the lead-up to Palin's speech last year.

 

[FSP-Rebel]

This undoubtedly means Rand won.

 

[itshappening]

lol @ the guy just jabbering on for 15 mins.

 

[DeadheadForPaul]

WTF Feed just went out!

 

[Karsten]

I will jump off the roof if Cruz wins

 

[IndianaPolitico]

3/4ths say balance the budget through spending cuts.

 

[itshappening]

This guy is annoying

ANNOUNCE IT

 

[IndianaPolitico]

I will jump off the roof if Cruz wins

Onto a mattress?

Probably not a bad sign for Rubio either, but I'd guess better for Rand than Rubio.

Also ... my wife and sister have both told me that anytime I say "Rubio" they instantly think of the chanting "Ruf-eee-ooo Ruf-eee-ooo" from the movie Hook (peter pan)
