Teddie just won a straw poll at the RLC in New Orleans. (Same one that Perry won last time... this time Perry was way at the back.) But Ted was just a nose ahead of second place: ...Cruz finished in first place in the annual conference's presidential straw poll at 30.33%. Dr. Ben Carson, a Fox News commentator and conservative activist, finished in second with 29.38% while Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, was third with 10.43%. Fox News host and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Texas Governor Rick Perry rounded out the top five, at 5.06% and 4.90%, respectively. More moderate Republicans also skipped the conference, but many fared much worse in the straw poll. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie came in dead last with 1.11% while Florida’s former Gov. Jeb Bush and current Sen. Marco Rubio and came in seventh and eighth at 4.42% and 3.32 %, respectively. (Guess we can conclusively say that the GOP elites at the Leadership Conference don't particularly care that Cruz's daddy fought for Castro... my how things change. :-)
