O'Reilly exposure helps Ron Paul?

[itsnobody]

I've been tracking and recording meetup numbers (this is US not overall), the system updates the numbers every 24 hours:
Before airing on O'Reilly: 09-10-07: 37,423 Members in 867 Meetup Groups, 5,143 waiting for a Meetup Group
After 09-11-07: 38,197 Members in 881 Meetup Groups, 5,204 waiting for a Meetup Group
Regular day: 09-12-07: 38,547 Members in 885 Meetup Groups, 5,218 waiting for a Meetup Group

So what happened? After Ron Paul aired on O'Reilly he gained 774 new meetup members, on the average day Ron Paul gains around 200-400 meetup members...this indicates that the exposure on O'Reilly must have helped Ron Paul out in some way...the same thing happened right after the last Republican debate, he gained around 1,000 new meetup members....

From a quick scan of their charts, it is very evident in the month of September, Ron Paul is gaining online supporters at a higher rate than in the months before. Very encouraging.

O'Reilly exposure helps Ron Paul?

I think so. Everytime they go out of their way to smear him, I know there are people out there wondering, "Why are they going after him like that?" Months ago, I wondered myself, did some research and I became a convert because of it. :)

Much like the neo-cons are helping terrorist recruiting by inciting hatred in middle east wars, FOX News is helping sensible americans discover Ron Paul by trying to smear him. :)
