Ron Paul wins CPAC Straw Vote and Gets Booed

Our own congressman Ron Paul won the straw vote for president in the CPAC Convention held last weekend, and then gets booed for it. Apparently he was not CPAC's preferred candidate.

By the way, CPAC is the annual convention held by the American Conservative Union. Keeping tabs of this group is a great way to keep track of what "conservatism" means at a particular moment in time.
