ABC News’ Karen Travers reports: Mitt Romney won the Family Research Council Values Voters’ Summit straw poll in Washington Saturday, barely beating out Mike Huckabee with just 30 more votes.

Romney garnered 1595 votes to Huckabee’s 1565 in the poll of conservative activists. Ron Paul was third with 865 and Fred Thompson was fourth with 564 votes. Rudy Giuliani, who addressed the crowd Saturday, finished eighth.

Romney spoke at the summit Friday and called for ending the “marriage penalty” and decreasing out-of-wedlock birth.

In a veiled hit at his rival, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and his more liberal positions on gay rights and abortion, Romney said, “We won’t win the White House with only two out of three or one out of three… We’re not going to beat Hillary Clinton by acting like Hillary Clinton.”

The problem with him criticizing Rudy on these issues is that he shared those same positions not that long ago when he ran for governor of the People’s Republic of Taxachusetts.  I didn’t have an issue with him having those positions then.  It was, after all, Massachusetts, but the question is was he being dishonest then or is he being dishonest now?  That is what would hurt him in a general election.
