[Patriot123]

Sort of funny. North versus south.

[0zzy]

no.
no.

[Kludge]

Your argument fails, look at the OP.

[JJ2K1]

something just doesn't seem right about the poll, AOL must be taking a nap and is forgeting to tamper with the poll results.

[LT for the Truth]

trying to complete the vote and its not giving me the confirmation letters. whats the deal, its been 8 minutes

[0zzy]

Your argument fails, look at the OP.

my argument is that you guys spend way to much time concerning yourself over things that don't matter.

[Rangeley]

Ron Paul is only trailing by 644 votes now, out of over 10,000 cast. That seems like a number that can be picked away at.

[amonasro]

Check out Ron Paul's candidate profile. Nothing there. They even have profiles for Thompson and Hunter.

[BoBoDuFlachi]

i just voted, and look how Ron Pauls name is blacked out and any state he is ahead in is blacked out

lol...

[MikeStanart]

Yeah, in comes the AOL coverup.

They blanked out Paul's name.

[Kludge]

Yeah, in comes the AOL coverup.

They blanked out Paul's name.

I mean... wtf? Lmfao, that's just soooooo lame. I can't even become angry, maybe I'm losing my mind.

its like the twilight zone. (doo dee doo duu doo dee doo duh!)

[Expatriate]

Hey! Now when you first arrive at the page to vote Ron Paul's face has been replaced with a little animated spiral! What gives? All the other candidates' faces are still there!

ok this is just crazy...wat are the freakin chances out of all the candidates...

True Ron Paul supporters still know the loading icon represents Ron Paul's pic and they'll still vote for him :D

[Kludge]

I wonder if they're reading RPF&RPFs reactions for laughs?

[idiom]

That is completely awesome. Someone took their instructions too literally.

[LiveToWin]

Mordor is taking over.

[freedom-maniac]

This is bulls---! I would expect this from FOX's website, but AOL? Must stand for A--holes On Line.

[A Ron Paul Rebel]

same still until I voted and then it switched to dems. and now nothing!!! no poll at all!!!

[CurtisLow]

something just doesn't seem right about the poll, AOL must be taking a nap and is forgeting to tamper with the poll results.

Looks like they woke up. When I went to the site Dr. Pauls is the only picture that would not load up... Just kept going round and round

Well this is pretty messed up. Right as he comes within 500 votes of McCain, his name mysteriously gets blacked out...

[TruthAtLast]

voted. if they wanted to eliminate Paul from the voting it would take just a few keystrokes. To black out his name is like poking their finger into the chest of his supporters, daring them to do something. :D

how bizarre. They could at least try to be a little more subtle.

[LittleLightShining]

I voted earlier and got the same thing. I know it's a joke forum but this (http://www.johnmccainforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=321) is interesting.

[torchbearer]

It has been 19 weeks since Ron Paul has had numbers this high.
What gives?
And yeh, AOL has revealed their allegiances. Look at results by candidate.
Media is clamping down. If people find out he is still in the race, they may vote for him.

[Conza88]

Hahahahaha Kludge, if I was drinking... my screen would now be wet. :D

Look at South Dekota...

74% for RP. :cool:

clicking on 'this' shows how really totally warped and sick this mccain bunch is! these people are really demented. if this is the kind of support he attracts, he has NO chance of being elected. unless you factor in votefraud, which looks even stronger after seeing this bunch. no way are there that many crazies in the republican party. :mad:

[voytechs]

Its the BOOK. Its waking people up, I tell ya'h!!!!!

[torchbearer]

You think?
So soon?
That would mean a lot of people, who weren't going to vote for him, somehow got a copy of his book and took the time to read it.
Are there any sells numbers for the book yet?

Maybe we need to step up Operation Adopt a Patriot. leave books in bathroom stalls, waiting rooms, bus stops.

[whiskersoil]

perhaps it is just my computer... but Paul's name is blacked out.

It's blacked out for everyone. Welcome to Amerika.

I see a red door and I want to paint it black..

[smithtg]

the more ive thought about this and i have come to realize the irony in the color black in this situation. Can you say BLACKout?

Its almost like an Obama hacker did this as a joke

[TER]

huckabee doesn't have one vote? Obviously someone hacked this...

[Conza88]

In case you didn't realise.. Huckabee dropped out.:rolleyes:

even though he was doing good before it happened =)

[AJ Antimony]

Very odd how it's this high all of a sudden.

[TruthAtLast]

McCain is starting to pull ahead in some states. I've been trying to keep as many "green" as I can but I'm only one guy.

I've put in at least 150 votes so far focused mostly on CA, AZ, TX, MO, IL, MN, and WA

It is so close that every few votes it pushes it back to Ron Paul's color, but then when I focus on another state, the other one goes back to McCain.

All you have to do is deny cookies and you can vote as many times as you want.

Under the Patriot Act, isn't that considered terrorism and can't you now get arrested for that?

Not allowing cookies is a violation of the Patriot Act? :rolleyes: I'd think that under the Patriot Act, every member of this forum could be arrested. :eek:

[erin moore]

I hope you people keep this bumped with me and keep voting. The votes keep increasing but the percentages never change.

My sister ives in Ohio and she voted for Paul. In the last 20 minutes we've watched the votes increase by over 50 but the 57%-43% spilt (MCCain) hasn't changed AT ALL. Come on.

Keep voting. Especially if you live in these states that keep going blue.

[erin moore]

I think everytime a Paul vote is logged a McCain vote is added. He has reached the threshhold of allowable support and the system won't report the true numbers anymore.

[erin moore]

OK........Ky is at a 50-50 split reading Paul. Then switches for McCain....... the vote total for KY was 301 one more vote added for Paul bring it up to 302...... and the percentages go to 51-49 for McCain. This is so annoying.

[TruthAtLast]

I've seen the percentages change but there are too many that are a virtual dead heat.

California, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming are so close that a few votes could send it either way.

Where McCain is leading (as of the time of writing this) - in case you wanted to focus on taking over states that were close:

Alabama - by about 305 votes
Connecticut - by about 74 votes
Delaware - by about 3 votes
Florida - by about 834 votes
Georgia - by about 209 votes
Illinois - by about 124 votes
Indiana - by about 75 votes
Louisiana - by about 83 votes
Maryland - by about 86 votes
Massachusetts - by about 84 votes
Michigan - by about 19 votes
Mississippi - by about 41 votes
New Jersey - by about 229 votes
New York - by about 89 votes
North Carolina - by about 348 votes
Ohio - by about 93 votes
Pennsylvania - by about 18 votes
South Carolina - by about 49 votes
Tennessee - by about 58 votes
Virginia - by about 307 votes

[erin moore]

Wow look at the democrats.

[BillyDkid]

voted. How is McTurd winning this? I realize that participation on this forum and on the internet campaign has tapered off, but come on.

Don't know, but you need to delete your browser cookies and vote again. :D

[erin moore]

we can't even seem to get within 3000 votes. :mad:

[erin moore]

Voooooooooooooooote!

[TruthAtLast]

we would need to make up about 345 votes to move up to a total of 45%. Another 1593 votes would bring us to 50%, but that is if McCain stopped getting votes which wont happen.

[nodope0695]

Voted. RP is doing quite well....lots of states. Too bad these straw polls turn out to be bullshit considering the actual turn out in the primaries.

If anyone was curious... (awwwe... Look at the cute little snowflakes!)

[mkeller]

So the reason Ron's coming ahead is because we're multiple-voting? Aww . . . I was hoping a bunch of people had read his book and got converted.
