We have the results of the CPAC straw poll of preferences for the 2012 presidential race:

Mitt Romney — 20 percent
Bobby Jindal — 14 percent
Sarah Palin — 13 percent
Ron Paul — 13 percent
Newt Gingrich — 10 percent
Mike Huckabee — 7 percent
Mark Sanford — 4 percent
Rudy Giuliani — 3 percent
Tim Pawlenty — 2 percent
Charlie Crist — 1 percent

The remainder of the vote was undecided.

Gee. Who’d have thought that Sarah Palin and Bobby Jindal could be so popular with the conservative base, given the way the Left constantly attacks them?
