US congressman wins conservative straw poll
None
Conservative voters chose the No. 3 Republican in the House of Representatives, Mike Pence, as their top choice for US president for 2012 in a straw poll on Saturday.
The nonbinding opinion vote among 723 social conservatives attending what organizers called the "Values Voters Summit" put former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee in second place for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, with 22 percent of the vote, compared with Pence's 24 percent.
