Is Paul-Rubio the 2016 GOP Dream Team?
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul received 25 percent of the vote and Sen. Marco Rubio got 23 percent.

The annual Conservative Political Action Conference wrapped up last weekend with U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) winning the traditional straw poll with 25 percent of the vote.
And coming in a close second was U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) with 23 percent of the vote. Former Sen. Rick Santorum came in third, followed by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who was not in attendance.
Although it is still early, the straw poll is considered a good early indicator of top contenders for the 2016 presidential election. Last year, it was Mitt Romney who came out on top in the straw poll, eventually going on to win the GOP nomination.
