It's at CPAC -- the Conservative Political Action Conference, held from Feb. 26-28 in Washington, D.C.
Attending: Gov. Sarah Palin, Gov. Mitt Romney, Rep. Mike Pence, Ex-Rep. Newt Gingrich, Gov. Bobby Jindal (who's ruled out a 2012 run) and others...
CPAC's straw poll in 2005 was won by then Sen. George Allen... probably because he was a Virginian. So it's not terribly predictive.... but it is noticed, and meaningful.
