Voted, but sinking fast indeed (82%).

It's being spoofed.

You can vote more than once.

Bump

[rp08orbust]

He's fallen two points in ten minutes. At that rate, he'll reach 50% in 2.5 hours. Hopefully he can hang in there until midnight Central.

Actually it's a non-linear relationship. His fall will slow down the lower he drops. So at this point, it looks OK.

Voted! Bump!

Ha, ha! Ron Paul rules! :D

There's no stopping Ron Paul.

At least in cyberspace.

The Republican congressman from Lake Jackson swept to the title in our March Madness on the Potomac tournament.

We asked you — our loyal Texas on the Potomac readers — to pick the Texas lawmaker you viewed as most effective. And you spoke, loudly and clearly.

From his first-round victory over Round Rock Rep. John Carter, a senior member of the House Republican leadership, to his championship round win over rising star Rep. Michael McCaul of Austin, Paul showed that his Revolution lives on.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the 2010 Texas on the Potomac tourney. Come back next March for another March Madness event featuring the Texas congressional delegation.

Sour grapes from something called the Houston Press:


The Ron Paul Minions Get Greedy

Richard Connelly

​FLASH ALERT from the Lew Rockwell blog, home to all things libertarian: Ron Paul, the Thomas Jefferson/John Adams/Solomon of our benighted day, needs your help.

Warmonger Michael McCaul is gaining on Ron Paul in the final bracket of the Houston Chronicle's online poll to determine the most effective congressman in Texas. Earlier today, Ron was 97%-3%. Now he is down to 90%-10%. Have you voted? The polls close tonight at 11:59pm Texas time.

What? Ron Paul might slip below 90 percent in some utterly meaningless online poll gamed by his army of followers? Panic time!!

We're trying to figure out a definition of "most effective Congressman" that could result in Ron Paul being considered a candidate.

Most effective in blocking Mother Theresa medals? Most effective current member of Congress from Angleton?

"Most effective in having his obsessed troops vote in online polls" would probably be the best answer.

The poll in question was a brackets-type March Madness thing by the Chron's Washington bureau. And any such effort that comes up with a McCaul vs. Paul final is obviously highly, highly scientific and will be useful to political scientists for decades to come.

It could mark the beginning of the end of the Paul Era, if he winds up with less than 90 percent.

If you're wondering, by the way, how Rockwell -- who disdains elections -- can urge people to vote, he says its because this poll uses no tax money.

"[T]his is a private, non-coercive election, and easy - unlike pain-in-the-neck government elections," he says. "And like the giant American Idol polls, this shows real popular opinion without any cost imposed on the public by the government."

HAHAHAHAHA! I imagine this was probably actually written by a Ron Paul supporter, because it looks like utter blabbering and I don't think anyone is that dumb.
