Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky pulled
another first place
win in the Conservative Political Action Committee presidential
straw poll with 31 percent of the vote. Sen. Ted Cruz came in a
distance second with 11 percent of the vote, and Neurosurgeon
Benjamin Carson came in third place.
Rand Paul’s office released a statement
contending:
“The fight for liberty continues, and we must continue to stand
up and say: We’re free and no one, no matter how well-intentioned,
will take our freedoms from us.”
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie came in fourth with 8 percent,
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and former Sen. Rick Santorum tied with
7 percent.
While Marco Rubio finished second to Rand Paul in CPAC 2013’s
straw poll, this year he only garnered 6 percent of the vote. Rep.
Paul Ryan and Texas Gov. Rick Perry tied at three percent.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, former Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice, former Gov. Mike Huckabee and former Gov. Sarah
Palin tied at 2 percent.
