Unacceptable. I voted but Ron is still at 5%.

I had trouble finding the poll. Try using ctrl-F & paste in "Ron Paul Won the CPAC Straw Poll" if you can't find it.

RP @ 6%. 6000 votes in. Mitch Daniels is leading.

[WilliamShrugged]

Voted. I don't see the appeal in Christie. It is good that he stands up to unions. But what will he do to assault weapons as Pres?

[Bern]

Voted. Ron in 5th place with 7% currently.

[BuddyRey]

Voted!

What is the point of having these polls? Don't they know we're going to distort them?

[sailingaway]

We don't distort them more than anyone else. It is all about activists, and whether your campaign has any.

I was wondering that, too. Maybe it's supposed to be some type of Anonymous scare tactic. Y'know, we're watching you, we're everywhere, and we don't forget.

[Bergie Bergeron]

Bump.

Yes, they do know that. And yes, that does mean that there's not much of a point. Voting on online polls isn't completely worthless. But it ranks pretty close to the bottom of things we need to do. If you have a chance to go to a local Republican or Tea Party gathering and wear a Ron Paul pin or get into a conversation where you identify yourself as a Ron Paul supporter. Even if nothing tangible comes of the time spent doing that, it's still a far better use of time than voting in online polls.

Well, at 3:30 on a work day, what else can we do? Preach our politics in the main lobby? Just saying, its a waste of time if there is something else available.

And this is the National Review. My father and his hunting buddies read it. They are on the fence. I can bring this home and get a couple more votes for Dr. Paul.

[speciallyblend]

[Maximus]

9% and beating Romney

[Matt Collins]

This is weird.... Why do I think this poll is "weighted" against Ron or something?

[Kludge]

Because it's an online poll posted on RPFs and he isn't winning after over 4 hours?
