CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference, every year holds a straw poll to determine who its members want as their next Republican presidential nominee. The actual question this year is:
“Thinking ahead to the 2012 Presidential election, who would you vote for as your FIRST CHOICE to be the next Republican nominee for President?”
Here are the choices, direct from the actual CPAC poll:
1. Michele Bachmann, MN Representative
2. Haley Barbour, MS Governor
3. Herman Cain, Former Godfather Pizza CEO
4. Chris Christie, NJ Governor
5. Mitch Daniels, IN Governor
6. Newt Gingrich, Former House Speaker
7. Mike Huckabee, Former AR Governor
8. Jon Huntsman, Former UT Governor
9. Gary Johnson, Former NM Governor
10. Sarah Palin, Former AK Governor
11. Ron Paul, TX Representative
12. Tim Pawlenty, Former MN Governor
13. Mitt Romney, Former MA Governor
14. Rick Santorum, Former PA Senator
15. John Thune, SD Senator
16. Other _______________________
17. Undecided
Now, here’s your chance to vote for whom you think CPAC will nominate — not who you think CPAC should choose, but who you think they will.
Vote!
