Cruz Wins Key Conservative Straw Poll
The Washington Post’s Juliet Eilperin reports that Ted Cruz won the Values Voter Summit straw poll on Saturday night with 42 percent of the vote. She writes, “Cruz won the Family Research Council Action’s contest — often seen as an early indicator of which candidates would fare well in a GOP presidential primary — while Ben Carson, a rising star in conservative circles, came in second, according to the group’s news release.”
