Values Voter Straw Poll; Cruz, Carson top two again

It's deja vu for talking heads, as Senator Ted Cruz (TX) won the influential Values Voters Summit in Washington, though by a vastly smaller margin over Neurosurgeon Ben Carson. Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum rounded out the top four, with Bobby Jindal and Rand Paul finishing tied for fifth.

The Vice-Presidential poll, showed similar results with Carson in first and Cruz in second. Jindal meanwhile surprised observers by taking third, while Michelle Bachmann took fourth, and Rick Santorum finished in fifth.

Who (if anyone) emerged as winners following cattle call, and who ended up as losers?

Let's hope the rest of the GOP votes the same way as the "Values Voters".

Values Voters continue to value insanity, I see.

Rationality is a valuable asset. Therefore, irrationality is an invaluable asset.

I'm going to cry if any of these candidates, except for Paul, have any success in the primaries.

Values Voters Summit is a combination of hard core tea-partiers and evangelical social conservatives. It has little to no say on the national primary, especially two years away.

Edit - Ironically, Ron Paul won in 2011, and the AFA denounced it

[Mr. Morden]

Biden got more votes than Christie:
