OXON HILL, Md.

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul has won the Conservative Political Action
Conference's annual presidential preference straw poll.

Pollsters announced Saturday that Paul won 25.7 percent of the votes in
the annual survey, giving Paul his third consecutive win in as many years.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker came in second, with 21.4 percent. Sen. Ted
Cruz came in third in the contest with 11.5 percent, followed by retired
neurosurgeon Ben Carson with 11.4 percent and former Florida Gov. Jeb
Bush with 8.3 percent. All of the other names listed received under 5
percent.

The three-day CPAC conference in suburban Washington draws many
libertarian-leaning college students whose views and priorities differ
significantly from the Republican Party at large. But it is nonetheless
seen as a barometer of certain conservative activists' early leanings.

Pollsters said just over 3,000 attendees voted. Nearly half identified
as between the ages of 18 and 25.

This is CPAC, what did you expect?
It is like having a Socialist Workers Party conference choosing their
favorite democrat. It has little to do with who actually gets the
nomination.

Oxon Hill was an interesting place to hold this thing tho ... really?


Oxon Hill is just a dateline for the new National Harbor.

Yeah I saw that after I posted. That is new since I was up there.
Most of Oxon Hill is "garden apartments" and little 50s era houses
that have simply been an extension of SE DC for the last 40 years.



I suppose when the casino goes in there, it'll get some traffic, but of
the wrong kind.

The few times we've been over there to try out a restaurant, the entire
"National Harbor" area was pretty much empty of touri$t$. Plus you have
to pay to park, a no-no for suburban shopping.
