If the media steals this election from us, I'm putting my hand on Ron Paul, to drag him into the White House :D

[dusman]

Hard to claim that we are just a small group anymore! So much for that idea that we just simply organize some people to vote online. :rolleyes:

A lot of people saw this debate. Check these stats out: http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2011/09/08/gop-debate-massively-boosts-msnbc-cable-news-ratings-for-wednesday-september-7-2011/103026/

5.4 million is a pretty large viewing audience. I'm thinking Ron Paul resonated with A LOT of people last night.

[sickmint79]

that would be an awful large amount of votes to even have total!

[Chainspell]

holy mother of god.

did you guys read the comments about Ron Paul? People are more convinced now that Ron Paul is being treated really really bad by the media. When I get my hands on that video that shows MSNBC muted the applause for ron paul... hell will freeze over!! lol...

I don't know, I tried to watch the debate objectively and I have to admit, if I wasn't already a Ron Paul fan, some of the things he said were a little weird and hard to understand compared to the other candidates which were constantly talking about their records, reputation etc...I would've liked to see RP do that too, he just didnt get the chance to...damn shame.

[rp08orbust]

I'm slightly ashamed to admit that I voted 3 times.

I voted 3 times, but only because I accidentally voted for Rick Perry the first time, so it took two more votes for Ron Paul to correct that.

oh I was pissed off watching the debate ignore ron paul. I wish one of the candidates would've pointed out that it was a fucking perry and romney debate. Oh by the way I think romney is fucking in on it, I think they rehearsed that whole thing. Remember when everyone was about to attack Perry about the forced vaccine and romney said A LOT of good things to support perry. fucking body block

I would prefer to not hear this but I guess we need to face reality as well.

Our work is not finished people, we dominate the web, but we don't dominate general consensus and mass grassroots campaigning. Organize and execute!!

Ron paul huah!~

Reason # 4 why the media treats us likes every Ron Paul supporter lives in their mothers' basements playing on the internet. It is NOT NECESSARY to ever vote more than once. IT'S WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! Do you live in Chicago?

Or maybe You voted for Perry three times, and then went to Ron Paul forum to leave this kind of embarrassing post. Who can tell...
In any case, if you are genuine Ron Paul supporter, You would think twice next time about Your actions. And this post of yours is reason to be ashamed, for sure.

Now if we could just get them all to donate $20.

This wasn't some local newpaper website poll or an email harvesting campaign. This was the marquee website of the debate host itself! And msn.com is the default home page of millions of computers (much to my annoyance as a linux fan). I think it indicates the broad appeal of Ron Paul among the voting and general population - perhaps even international support. Someone mentioned regarding an oddball, likely fixed, poll we were losing that the numbers didn't look right. There were tens of thousands of votes for a couple candidates and normally these online polls only get thousands. This time, Romney got 30,000 and we get 4 times as much - 120,000. It couldn't have been this website because otherwise this poll would not have been the exception. The number, 120,000, would be typical. It is not. Winning is, but not with this many people voting.

Best of all, this poll is being quoted, in the media:

Boo ya!

PS: VOTED! (two days ago)

[badger4RP]

maybe this shows the increase in support from school being in session... more kids finding out about RP, more kids sitting around on the webz

[sailingaway]

that would be an awful large amount of votes to even have total!

it was linked by drudgereport ALL DAY yesterday.

So the other candidates can't just say we are more organized, drudge drives traffic for EVERYONE.

[sailingaway]

didn't know you could. We should NOT do that. We always want to be able to say we didn't, and it's rarely even close. Occassionally someone else wins, but it makes the genre more credible, in any event.

[Tod]

I voted once AND pointed out the misleading graphics to my Facebook friends (thanks to whomever pointed them out here first!)

No, that was not the case 4 years ago and that was not the case last spring. Ron Paul is popular.

[gb13]

Regarding the kid who claims he voted three times... Is he a troll, is he not a troll... Whatever.

Even if you divide Ron Paul's vote by FOUR, he would still be in the lead. So, Q that FT!
