And the winner of the 2009 Voters Value Straw Poll is The Huckster!

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee won the Values Voter Summit's 2012 presidential straw poll Saturday, grabbing nearly 29 percent of the vote in a crowded field.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and Indiana Rep. Mike Pence each won roughly 12 percent of the 597 votes cast.

Four of the top five candidates addressed religious conservatives at the three-day Values Voter conference in Washington this week — the kind of attendance seen as a significant gesture by activists here, especially in an off-election year. Palin did not make an appearance.

So between Huck and Palin, they get 41%. Oh that is quite delicious.

Mitt Romney only getting as much as Palin, Pawlenty, and Pence isn't that much of a surprise.

Gee, what a surprise...

Gee, what a surprise...

I was only surprised that Palin didn't get any higher. However, I suppose not showing up had something to do with that.

Yeah, saw it on the news. Whoopee, hurrah and all that.

Big fat hairy deal.

A certain congressman from Texas won a shitload of straw polls in '07-'08 and it got him nowhere.

And he certainly has more values to show for himself AND his family than this pathetic crop of "hopefuls."

It only took ONE speech for Piyush to drop right off the radar screen....

True, but starting early always helps...especially if you aren't the major party in DC.

I dislike Huckabee. He would be just as bad as Obama for totally different reasons.

 

[Oscar Wao]

Amen, Av, as would Romney...

And for the love of ALL things Holy, NO Crist...not in '12, not in '16, not E.V.E.R. PLEASE.

I find it humorous how when polls and such are good for GOP defenders, they are legitimate, but when the polls don't show favorably for them, people get called names for discussing them. Can you say "hypocrite"? I knew you could...

Yeah...

I'm not exactly a fan of ANY of these people...I don't think I could stomach ANY "potential" on the supposed "list"...

That's the least of our worries...

It's his marginalization and dirty tricks techniques that make him a weasel to say "NO!"
