That's hilarious... they call RP a "web whiz".

I find it so ironic because when I talked to RP over the phone for a radio interview back on 06-06-07 he really didn't understand what was going on with the Internet. I told him I was part of the online movement and he said "yeah, it's interesting, obviously there is some sort of good organizational effort going on there" and he was impressed but really didn't seem to be aware of everything that was happening.

Then if you watch the video from RP at Google he has remarked that fellow politicians ask him how he has mustered the largest Internet support ever. And he simply tells them that he had nothing to do with it, People are embracing the message of liberty and the Constitution.

Is there still a chance to recruit before the voting?

Not sure what else we can do online to assist with the straw poll. It's up to our soldiers on the ground now. Call Iowans may still bring in more people. Money always helps. But besides that....we can pray (if your the praying type).

The candidates have 15 minutes to speak each before the vote. If Ron Paul does well, we might just rake in a bunch of votes.

Before the vote? I thought it was during the vote....

It is during the vote. The voting starts kinda early from what I read. The candidates will start speaking later.
