Seeing a comment that Fox has taken it's poll from last nights debate down, I attempted to find out what the results were.

After combing theough Fox.com and not finding it (little wonder), I did my search for it, found the empty link, and took a phrase from the dead result, and researched for it with quotation marks. Upon finding the actual url (also dead) I clicked on the 'cached' version and VOILA!

What astonished me is that after finding these results, I tried voting - AND IT COUNTED MY VOTE! I looked and lo and behold Ron's vote total increased by six votes! Here is the result with the cache link:

This is the result I found this at:

http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=%22Fox+News+and+Google%27s+Republican+deb ate+Thursday+night+in+Orlando+featured%22&ei=utf-8&fr=b2ie7

and this is the Phrase I searched with to get the cached link, in case those long links don't work:

"Fox News and Google's Republican debate Thursday night in Orlando featured"

as you can see, I searched Yahoo! for this info. I hope it works for you!

p.s. I see 'Fox and Friends' has a poll from last nights' debate, but it is a far cry from the above poll - there are less than 2K votes tallied, and RON STILL TOPS IT with 51.66%:

MSM takes down online polls that RP wins. This is old news, we all know it happens. Focus your energy on winning primaries, not online polls.

33 thousand votes is not the work of a small but dedicated fanbase.

Voting in online polls isn't going to win the election, it's going to win nothing but an online poll. In the time you spend tracking down every MSM poll that is taken down because RP won, you could have been talking to real voters. This is how you win, time and energy is better focused in the real world. Instead of spending an hour trying to track down one that are gone, spend that hour talking to your friends and neighbors, find out what their issues are and address them. It's not that hard to convert people, this is how you beat the MSM block.

I would argue that as long as time and energy is spent, allow each individual decide where to spend it.

While these online polls are pretty meaningless, they do serve purposes:
Many times online polls get mentioned in other forums.
Paul is the king of the internet - where information is abundant.
Keeps other candidates from claiming small victories.

Yes, we need to do voter outreach. But we don't have to rob from one to help the other. The goal is to make sure each one of us is doing something - let each of them decide what they want to do and encourage each one to do more.

Agree 1000%! Everyone does what they do of their own volition, and often get offended when someone (unknowns especially) trys to steer them in some other direction.
