huh?
This happened despite a cyber-attack on the campaign Website, announced on Paul's Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/ronpaul), that shut it down for a few hours.

thats probably because they mention perry in the article, and so search engines pick up the piece when people search rick perry.

But it says RICK PERRY nets over 16 million in a day.

I don't see that in the article.

periods aren't valid in urls, they probably have some sort of system that automates url's based on document titles or something.

Somebody might want to point out to them that they're not using the polling data they should. Against Obama, only Mitt Romney does better than Ron Paul. Also at Real Clear Politics.

What's up with the bad ass lookin security?

Is the campaign paying for that or was it for an event?

That is Jesse. And there were a few guys in black suits around RP at the straw poll.

Dr. Paul needs the best security detail.
If the establishment cannot stop him, then you know what would be the next move from them.
I say we should build the best security detail humanly possible around Dr. Paul.

Among those putting their money where their mouth is, Ron Paul is roughly twice as electable as the other candidates. (http://laboratoryofthestates.org/cgi-bin/electability) Ron Paul can win.

Intrade (click to read wiki) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrade) is a prediction market (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prediction_market). I push these links to counter the argument that Romney - or anyone - is more electable. Evidence points both ways.
