Washington. Tea Party .- The movement failed to consider the presidential candidacy of one of its stars, Sarah Palin, and chose as favorites for the race to the White House for Texas Congressman Ron Paul and radio presenter Herman Cain. The conservative movement concluded a three-day convention in Phoenix (Arizona) with two informal polls to begin closing a number of possible candidates for the 2012 presidential election, the newspaper "Politico." In the broadest of these votes, which took place on the internet and included supporters and party activists, the Tea Party chose the veteran Congressman Paul as their candidate by 49 percent of the vote, followed by 12 percent to Cain An entrepreneur who hosts a conservative in Georgia (Atlanta).
The former governor of Alaska, meanwhile, had to settle for nine percent of the vote. In a second formal vote limited only to convention attendees, Cain was the candidate elected with 22 percent of the votes, while Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty won 16 percent and 15 percent Paul. Palin was the only potential candidates who did not utter a speech at the convention, designed to launch a strategy that increases the movement's influence in the presidential elections of 2012.
"We have a 40-year plan to steal the hearts of our countrymen who value fiscal responsibility, limiting the constitutionality of the federal government and free enterprise," Efe said Friday Jenny Beth Martin, national coordinator of the Tea Party Patriots movement. "We are ready to continue spreading our ideas and we are confident that we will have a greater say in the next general election," he added.
Palin, former vice presidential candidate in 2008, has lost some of bellows in the young movement after leading in the beginning and show their support in August 2010, when it drew tens of thousands to Washington in a demonstration against the government.
