Ron Paul is up 2% in ONE DAY in the Gallup national tracking poll's rolling average, after his 2nd place finish in Washington!

Let's try to get the SURGING meme going! We know the media won't do this on their own for Paul like they have for other candidates, unless we force it!

DRUDGE this!

Actually, I think the meme that needs to happen is that he beats Obama in a head to head matchup - it's the ONLY way we can get right wingers on board.

A good super tuesday for Ron and a bad one for Gingrich and Ron will be 3rd nationally.

How about both memes.. He's surging AND he beats Obama ;) no one says you have to choose one.

at least they put Ron back on the preview for the poll. they had him hidden unless you clicked the actual poll, before.

That's been my experience as well. The downside (for the MSM) is that their human rootkit tactic of "gotta' beat Obama" can be partially uninstalled when those that can still think on their own, to a degree, evaluate the head-to-head match-ups and see the head-to-head polls. Of course, these polls will start getting finagled soon enough, if not already.

Maybe it was Rand's appearance on the Frank Luntz segment. Rand really did a great job of defending Ron there.

I hate the word meme. Where did it come from? I've used it before but wow it's like fingers on a chalkboard.

Did anyone ever get a tube of that? I still haven't seen it.

When the GOP does dirty shit and it gets out a little we pick up support. Every time.

Two points in one day is nothing in the gallup. Paul in the last few weeks has gone from 14 to 8 to 8 for a week. Then to 9, 10, 11, 13 to 10 back to 13 then down to 11, 10. Now at 12. Nothing to be excited about until there is something sustaining.

Also Ron finished 1st in WA where it counts :D.

Right-winders don't believe that, though.

Shhh... ;)

But no, seriously, we don't know yet that this trend won't continue now. And if we can get the word out there the SURGE will be sustained! :D

our poll uptick could see three solid second or third place finishes giving added GOP legitimacy in less than 24 hours...

Richard Dawkins came up with the word "meme".

Now, the word "même" has been around a lot longer in France... lol.

Thats right. Lets hope that 2% uptick is a positive thing! And for fundraising as well.

Perhaps you missed the Santorum fabricated surge. He was barely registering in the polls when the MSM fabricated the "Santorum surge" in and effort to make it a reality by simply repeating the falsehood over and over again until it became a reality.

The establishment media is running the show and they are cheating using a variety of tactics. But we cannot use their same tactic against them?

Actually 2 points is a huge jump, as the average is over 4 days.

If it's a 5 day running average, we all know the last poll they took had to be greater than +2%. Or the first one was so horrible that when it fell off the average jumped up. I am eager to see what tomorrow looks like. Either way its a + !
