Rand Paul Currently Leads GOP/Conservative Candidates for 2016

Rand Paul won the 2013 CPAC Republican nomination straw poll with 25% of the vote. Marco Rubio followed closely with 23%. Rick Santorum finished in a distant 3rd with 8% with Chris Christie close behind at 7%. Jeb Bush asked for his name to be left off the ballot.

Of all the those choices, Rand Paul would be my personal favorite with Rubio also being a decent choice. My one "non-pick" would easily be Rick Santorum. I would expect Rand Paul's name to be relevant for the next 2 years until the campaigning starts. Right now it could be all the recent hype involving him making him so popular in the polls, but I doubt that is the case. Rubio should be another valid choice as well. Jeb Bush still has plenty of time to decide whether or not he will decide to run. Who would all of you feel most comfortable as the GOP nominee; of those choices or other?
