Conservative activists on Saturday picked Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) as their choice for president in 2012.
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin -- who was the vice presidential candidate on the unsuccessful 2008 GOP ticket -- was voted the pick for vice president in 2012.
Palin, who has helped conservative candidates storm the national election scene, was awarded the VP spot because Pence also won the vice presidential straw poll.
Tony Perkins, the head of the conservative Family Research Council, announced the results of the straw poll at the annual Values Voter summit in Washington on Saturday.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R), a contender for the 2008 GOP nomination, was the runner-up in the straw poll. Mitt Romney, the former Massachussetts governor and another 2008 primary contender, won third place for president while former House Speaker Newt Gingrich made it in fourth place.
Palin was only in fifth place on the presidential pick.

The conservatives in attendance showed extreme wisdom here-- Mike Pence is top-notch. He's been walking the talk for many years, and is as genuine as they come.
I see Pence/Palin in 2012. That would be a great ticket.
What a joke.
