(Who should have won the CPAC Straw Poll?)^n as n->infinity
Saturday Ron Paul won the staw poll conducted at CPAC winning with 31% of the vote. Mitt Romney came in second with 22% (he had won the past three years in a row).
Here are the full results from the Washington Post:
2010 CPAC Straw Poll Results
Ron Paul 31%
Mitt Romney 22%
Sarah Palin 7%
Tim Pawlenty 6%
Mike Pence 5%
Newt Gingrich 4%
Mike Huckabee 4%
Mitch Daniels 2%
John Thune 2%
Rick Santorum 2%
Haley Barbour 1%
Watch how Fox News attempts to marginalize the victory:
Not to mention Mike Huckabee’s recent attacks on CPAC (notice how Jonathan Martin of Politico downplays the Paul win as well).
Politico ran a poll after Paul’s victory titled “Who should have won CPAC’s straw poll?” Evidently 60% of 46,414 people agreed with the original results. Mitt Romney actually lost points:
Politico is currently planning to run another poll titled, “Who should have won the ‘Who should have won CPAC’s straw poll?’ poll?” My guess is they’ll be unpleasantly suprised again. At which point they’ll begin to exponentiate their titles. I’ve tried to simplify matters for them and calculate a limit to their denial:
Let x=The amount of times Ron Paul wins something.
and
Let D(x)=The amount of denial (from Republicans and the MSM) and consequently an issuing of a new poll trying to circumvent the previous one.
The curve looks like this:
Denial of the mainstream media and Republicans as a function of Ron Paul’s success, where D(x) is Represented by Emoticons and X is Represented by Paul Heads.
This function is obviously an exponential graph of the form a^x where a is some number greater than, but not equal to 0 and x is the variable (representing Paul’s victories).
Taking the limit of a^x as x goes to infinity we get the following result:
lim as x->infinity of (a^x) = infinity
Clearly the laws of mathematics agree with what we’ve known all along: there is no limit to the denial of mainstream republicans and media.
