I don't know if somebody mentioned this already, but I think we should register at electronic markets, such as this one:
http://www.biz.uiowa.edu/iem/markets/Nomination08.html
in electronic markets people bet on results of political events. It turns out those markets are pretty accurate (you can read about it in the book "The Wisdom of Crowds"), and, as a result their results are reported by mainstream media (you can find link to this market on the Yahoo election page, right there with zagby and other famous polling agencies). So...
So, I suggest we register and bet that Paul will win. That will have to be reported. Of course, they will dismiss us but it will still be a story.
