I really don't see any actual proof that this even happened.

I have seen people on YouTube CREATE videos that can depict almost anything they choose it to depict.

The only dates in the video where inserted by the video's creator.

I'll vote for Paul in 2012. I would have in 2008 too, but he was not on the ballot in FL, and I had to pull for Baldwin.

Look at the video, the guy making the announcement was wearing a badge in the Fox version but the real version at the end, no badge around his neck. I did not catch that. They used the audio and video from 2010, wow!

I think it is weird that the so-called reporter obviously had no idea what was going on at CPAC even though he was conducting an interview (seems the video was his only inkling of what happened with the straw poll and it was the wrong vid). And then he added his asshat comments. Not too professional, bra.

Good point, there is no evidence this is even accurate.

Or the video creator on YouTube simply used old and new video and invented the whole controversy.

FOX News had Ron Paul on and gave him all the credit for winning.....why would they want to downplay the fact that he won? There is no motive to do that so I am skeptical if it ever actually happened.

What I find more intersting is that the vote was taken on Friday BEFORE some of the other people on the ballot had even spoken on Saturday.

Because the libertarians are starting to gain momentum in the R party, and the establishment R's see them as a threat. Paul will never be elected President--I agree--but if the libertarians are see as driving the R's, they're afraid they'll lose seats in a general election, plus the establishment R's are afraid of losing control of the party.
