Mitt Romney Is 2nd Place Straw Poll Winner

Mitt Romney finished second in the recent 2011 Straw Poll, and Ron Paul, sorry to say, was the winner. Here are a few of the statistics of voting percentages in the most recent Straw Poll: Ron Paul received 30% of the vote, Mitt Romney received 23% of the vote, Chris Christie received 6% of the vote, Newt Gingrich received 5% of the vote, Sarah Palin received 3% of the vote, Michele Bachmann received 4% of the vote, Rich Santorum received 2% of the vote and Mike Huckabee received 2% of the vote.

Why Ron Paul? Does anyone have the answer? I really want to know what the attraction is to this rather eccentric fellow! To all Ron Paul fans: please share your thoughts and comments.

Mitt Romney at CPAC: Mitt Believes in America

Reports are coming out that indicate Mitt Romney's speech at CPAC might have been his best speech ever! Evidently, he was not afraid to criticize President Barack Obama. Mitt Romney also mentioned that he believes America is greater than Europe, and a great country. "I don't apologize for America because I believe in America," he said to a roaring standing ovation.

I was a staunch supporter of Mitt Romney in the 2008 Presidential Election, and I wish Mitt all the best in 2012. May those who believe Mitt is a good Republican model not be afraid to voice their support this next round. Conservatives need to understand that a politician should not be judged or condemned just because he happens to be a Mormon (or Latter-Day Saint).

Legalization Of Marijuana Most Popular Question for Obama

On "Your Interview With The President," the YouTube site that has been set up for a live stream of President Barack Obama's 2011 State of the Union Address plus questions posed to Mr. Obama by YouTube participants, the number one question appears to be regarding the legalization and decriminalization of marijuana by the federal government. I doubt very much if President Barack Obama, as liberal as he is, would stoop so low on the liberal ladder as to legalize marijuana.

It is a bit disturbing that the most popular question on the YouTube site, "Your Interview With The President" is focused on the issue of legalizing marijuana, rather than on the more pressing issues of the day, such as the loss, and lack, of jobs, the economy, and America's national security. I trust and hope that YouTube is not an indication of the views of most Americans. I personally voted, along with the majority of Californians, against the legalization of marijuana when it appeared on the 2010 ballot. Even though the crime factor is a serious issue when it comes to street drugs, legalizing marijuana is not the answer.
