Here’s the timeline for Ron Paul’s exclusion at CPAC:
Early 2011: David Keene gives up ACU Chair to Al Cardenas. Cardenas initiates a review of CPAC’s vetting of sponsors and speakers.
July 2011: CPAC announces speakers for 2012, inviting then Republican presidential candidates Romney, Santorum, Gingrich, Cain and Perry. Ron Paul is excluded as a speaker, despite winning CPAC’s straw poll in 2010 and 2011.
Oct 2011: CPAC claims Ron Paul’s exclusion was “unintentional” and would be corrected in a “few weeks”.
Feb 2012: After CPAC tickets are sold out and CPAC announces its change in straw poll procedures, then Ron Paul is belatedly invited, but declines.

the more I listen to RP the more I like him.. I just wish his rabid supporters would tone it down a tad… Constructive criticism is good you don’t need to always shout someone down..

The real story here is that Ron Paul and other libertarians were not invited to this year’s CPAC. Only after CPAC’s selection process change was made public, did CPAC claim that Ron Paul was “unintentionally” not invited. Ron Paul was belatedly invited, but not before Paul made other committments.

No more pesky, traceable paper ballot straw poll !
electronic vote totals are whatever we say they are
