rand paul or ron paula won the straw poll the last four of five years. they're nice folks, but if rand and ron paul are winning the straw poll it's not a test of conservatism. >> hunt: you don't think the c-pac is where the republican party is. >> i don't think there is many places in the traditional republican party where they would do that well. it's an enthusiastic group of people but anytime rand or ron paul win the day it's not reflective of the republican party. >> hunt: you say you're looking at orders for a possible presidential run. what kind of reaction have you gotten? what are the odds you will actually go in a month? >> the reaction has been good. people have wanted to invest in my campaign. some people want to come to work if i want to do it. i'll probably know in the next 30 to 45 days. i'm going to make a good business decision. it won't be an emotional decision, and i don't mind taking the risk. i understand that a candidacy is a long shot no matter who you, and at the end of the day, i feel like i've got something to offer my party and

the rand paul, or his father ron paul, have been consistent winners recently. but it's good news for scott walker who has been on a bit of a run. he's had some stumbles, also though in the press. and so for him to come out near the top with a conservative group, it helps him shore up his argument, which is that he has strong support in the conservative base of the party and, plus as a governor he has governing experience. >> axelrod: nancy, it's february 2015, how important is this straw poll? what does it translate to in terms of money and momentum? >> reporter: it's really a badge of honor and for somebody like scott walker to come in second who was for a long time seen as a second-tier candidate. but cpac has kind of an uneven track record of predicting who the republican nominee will be and we'll see a lot more of these kinds of polls and straw polls between now and the iowa caucusaise year from now. >> axelrod: nancy cordes and john dickerson, thank you both very much. this programming note-- john boehner will be john dickerson's guest tomorrow morning whe

when ron paul ran for president, his hard core supporters would pack the room it never translated to broader support. we will see if anything is different for his son. rand can be added to our tally of the most recent winners of the straw poll. five victories in the last seven years, including a ron paul win in 2012 even though mitt romney trounced him in the actual race for the gop nomination. at this point in the 2008 cycle, early 2007 mitt romney was the straw poll winner back then. that's as romney was trying to position himself as the alternative to john mccain. that cpac win did help him, but mccain won the nomination in 2008. so the cpac is not an event that doesn't mean nothing, but it doesn't mean too much either. so what does matter? everything we heard from the gop candidates over the last four days? does rand paul's win mean much? what does scott walker's second place finish do for him? and did jeb bush do well enough? i'm joined by casey hunt who was at cpac all week. thanks for getting in here and joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> i want to get to a more specific

well, look rand paul and his father ron paul expert at winning straw polls, they put a lot of effortattend are young and more libertarian. it was widely expected he was going to win. the fact that bush outperformed a number of other conservatives down that list shows that they organized well they got their supporters to the summit and made sure it wasn't the embarrassment that it could have been. and he clearly was a little bit nervous when he first took the stage. he seemed to get more into a rhythm as we went in with the q and a with hannity and showed he would be a formidable presence on the stage. >> when we think about the straw poll it's an indicator but the fact the crowd wasn't all that jazzed to see jeb bush he got booed? >> this was never going to be his crowd. they brought in a whole bunch of their supporters to cheer at the moments that they needed some cheering because the rest of the crowd -- >> brutal. >> but these kinds of voters are the ones -- they are the main hurdle to winning in iowa and south carolina. that's what we've always been talking about and will continu

they're on the far right, ron paul or whatever. i don't know what rand paul thinks at this point. frying pan into the fire. it's pick the devil you know. fed is bad enough. we want congress involved with these guys? >> i'm not sure that's what we want. people are frustrated that monetary policy is so opaque. that's what this is about. it's about how to get more control over monetary policy. we want an independent central bank. while it's going to be a political issue, i don't know it should be. >> with you, what was your title with the romney campaign? >> i was policy director. >> policy director. and you will probably have a role this time around too. who do you think the candidate -- who are the three most likely candidates here? >> a lot of strong candidates. i like scott walker marco rubio, and jeb bush. was one would expect i think those are the three performs well early on. can't rule out chris christie. he's got a tremendous ability to connect with people at the end of the day. then you've got rand paul and ted cruz in that segment of the party. i like scott walker. i like

some of the primaries of the two parties are--if you read that ron paul got x% and romney got y%, then they each get a certain number of delegates. that's proportional representation, and we've had that in elections in the united states, too, but we got rid of it. the europeans have it. so in germany when the die linke party got 12% of the vote, they get 12% of the seats in the parliament. so 12% of the people who are in the parliament are members of a party that believes that germany can do better than capitalism. highly successful, capitalist economy produces a criticism, and if you get more than 5%, not only do you get your seats--and that's true in the laender, in the state legislatures, too--but you get something else. you get money from the government because the democratic idea in germany is if you get more than 5% of the people interested in what you have to say, then it is important that you have a platform in which to explain to people what your positions are, what your proposals are so that the population can make an informed vote, and so the government allocates money, whic
