What a difference a year makes, especially when they change the way they count the votes......

The Difference in a Mitt Romney Win versus a Ron Paul Win in the Annual CPAC Straw Poll

Last year, when Ron Paul won the CPAC straw poll, this is what WaPo said:

Ron Paul emerged victorious in the Conservative Political Action Conference's annual presidential straw poll, the second straight year that the libertarian-leaning Texas Congressman has won the vote...The history of CPAC straw poll winners affirms the limits of using it as a prognosticator of much of anything.

Here's how WaPo views the poll when an insider, Mitt Romney, won this year:

Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney has won a presidential straw poll of activists attending the Conservative Political Action Conference, a key annual gathering of right-leaning Republican activists concluding Saturday in Washington.

The result is a major boost for Romney...


WaPo: all the news that's fit to distort.
