Will Rand Paul Win 2015 CPAC Straw Poll? (update: Rand WINS!)

It's interesting that according to the C-SPAN schedule they won't be airing the results this year like they normally do, even though they broadcast extensively from CPAC Friday and Saturday. When the results are being announced they will instead be airing a re-run of Jeb Bush at CPAC yesterday.

I wonder if NBC, or some other stream will have it.

Who's ready for the media saying Ben Carson and Scott Walker coming in second and third place respectively is the "real story of the CPAC straw poll"?

U.S. media is just so awful.

Back in 2011, they spent all their time dismissing any straw poll Ron Paul won, but greatly promoting any straw poll on which one of their preferred candidates came out on top. Remember when Herman Cain won some obscure straw poll in Florida, and the media did this whole "he's surging!" thing, and sent him to the top of the national polls for over a month, before reality caught up with Cain? They never do that crap when Paul wins.
 
Jeb alledgedly busing in straw poll voters

Mathew Boyle at breitbart is reporting that Jeb's people are again busing in lobbyists to vote for him in the straw poll. This, according to emails obtained by Betsy Woodruff at Slate.

One person behind the effort to bus in Bush backers, Woodruff confirmed, was former George W. Bush advance man Fritz Brogan. “A Bush insider confirmed to Slate that Bush’s Right to Rise PAC is helping organize the transportation,” Woodruff wrote.

Three other potential GOP presidential campaigns told Breitbart News that they expect nothing less from Bush’s campaign, since he doesn’t have real conservative support.

“It comes as no surprise that the Bushies would try to rig the CPAC straw poll. Jeb, like his father and brother, is strongly disliked and distrusted by the Base,” one said.

Trying to rig the CPAC straw poll “is a cynical effort by Bush’s establishment campaign to attempt to build some conservative bona fides where none exist,” a second rival presidential effort staffer told Breitbart News. “Since they don’t have legitimate conservative support they have to pay for it in a transparent AstroTurf effort.”

No one but a Paul or Romney has won CPAC since 2006, and the Pauls have won 4 of the past 5 years.

Takeaway: Rand has a pretty good likelihood of winning, but if he doesn't, it's going to be because Jeb Bush used his money and organization to out-muscle us.

Panelists right now are pushing Scott Walker as the strongest candidate to win the general because exec exp. and being able to bridge gap between grassroots and establishment.
