Politico's CPAC winners and losers:
http://www.politico.com/story/2014/03/cpac-2014-the-final-scorecard-104454.html?hp=f3
Winners: Perry, Christie, Santorum, Walker (despite not showing up)
Losers: Cruz, Rubio, Ryan, Trump
I'd add Huckabee as a loser. He's leading the national polls, but gets no buzz at CPAC, and only manages 2% in the straw poll. Yeah, the straw poll means next to nothing, but it is indicative of the fact that he's not really on people's radar screens as a presidential contender (again, despite actually leading in the polls). It's not really his type of crowd, but it's not Santorum's type of crowd either, and he did OK....
Carson should also be included as a winner.
Paul should also be included as a winner.
