The Texas congressman and presidential candidate who remains in the single digits in most national polls emerged as the choice of 37 percent of those who cast ballots at the annual Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C.
Former Godfather’s Pizza CEO Herman Cain, who has been surging in national presidential primary polls, came in second with 23 percent of the vote, followed by Rick Santorum who garnered 16 percent. Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann tied for fourth — both with 8 percent.
Not suprisingly the folks at Fox News are dismissing this once again.
interesting...is there going to be a revolt by voters against party candidates...noticed Cain came in second...the wsj editorial board gave a favorable review to Cain's 999 proposal for being at the heart of true tax reform (Simpson & Bowles & Rivlin & Domenici proposals taking a similar approach)

I take issue with the comment about "big media", but setting that aside, this is certainly a great surprise! In the past, these "values voter" summits have focused on social conservatism, and Ron Paul isn't exactly a social conservative.
I'm surprised the flip-flopping Mormon only came in at 5th place with 4%. Didn't Romney claim a few days ago that Jeebus told him that America is supposed to increase defense spending? Maybe the "values voters" don't recognize Mormon Jesus.
I think we are going to start to see Ron Paul pick up steam now. I think the others will start to fade away. 75% of the Occupy Wall Street people are Ron Paul people and now that Alex Jones and a few of the informed protesters out there are pointing out that the Federal Reserve is really the cause of the problem not all of Wall Street, I think people are going to start to put 2 and 2 together and realize that Ron Paul is the man of the hour/day/week/month/year/decade.
Besides "End the Fed" is catchier than "This is what Democracy looks like" or "We are the 99%"
Hahaha, like the Koch Brothers care what you think. They will decide, you get to fall in line
The Koch brothers are not the main players. They are just in a little ****-ant competition with Soros as to who's candidate gets the most press. The end goal is the same.
Goldman Sachs, The IMF (funded greatly by The FED), The CFR, The Rand Corp., The Trilateral Commission, British, German, and French Banks, etc... run the world and they want another POTUS who will be spineless to the new global currency/banking system and one global government as Obama has been so willing.
Ron Paul is the only one who has proven he will not bend to or be owned by any of them.
