good. sour grapes they split out the online vote since there were only actual voting places in the suburbs.

All voters had to be Illinois registered voters.

Streaming KFI (Los Angeles talk radio station) and in their news break a few minutes ago they mentioned Ron Paul winning the straw poll. No disclaimer, just positive coverage. I was surprised.

This would be a place where comments would be especially valuable.
Just don't do it like this guy:
I will not vote for any GOP stooge except for Ron Paul. :eek:
Choose your words carefully.

edit, I posted, but it is way way down there, the trolls got in first, unfortunately. I commented describing Ron's budget plan, but no one will see it.

really surprising.....

[KCIndy]

Yeah, I'm surprised. I really figured it would get dropped into the "Ron Paul pool of silence" pit, per the media's usual handling of Dr. Paul.

Better than the "official" video for that song of awesomeness.

One of the best lines ever penned in a rock song:

"Bowel shaking earthquakes,
Of doubt and remorse,
Assail him, impale him,
With Monster Truck force."

That is all.

LOL +rep!

I scanned a few articles and it seems they're making a point of stating that Paul received a much lower fraction of the in-person votes. To me this reads, "Paul only did so well because of his internet following".
