Brownback Finishes Top 3 in CPAC Straw Poll
Brownback clear choice among “traditional values” Republicans
ALEXANDRIA, VA- U.S. Senator Sam Brownback placed 3rd tonight in the CPAC presidential straw poll, a key test of strength in the 2008 presidential race.
Among “traditional values” Republicans, Brownback was the overwhelming favorite, with 29% of the vote.
Brownback was pleased with the results of the straw poll. "As we continue to build momentum toward victory, I am encouraged by the outcome of tonight's poll," Brownback said. "I would like to thank everyone who came from across America to Washington, D.C. to demonstrate their support.”
The CPAC straw poll was held over two days in Washington, D.C. at the Omni Shoreham Hotel.
Brownback continued, "I will continue to lead on conservative values to renew our culture and rebuild our families. We must rebuild families, protect marriage, cut taxes, enact a flat tax, secure our borders and win the fight against militant Islamist extremists."
Brownback also finished 4th in the Spartanburg County, South Carolina straw poll yesterday.
