Ugh, tied with Tancredo? I know its Iowa and not new hampshire, but wasnt he at 4% even before Nov 5th?

Yes they helped in almost all polls

mostly jay leno, but yeah it helped with teh polls quite a bit. It'll be a couple weeks before they really set in though. People still have to research him. The ads are becoming a big boost to. He just needs to make it on more network television shows and QUICK.

We got a huge bump in all polls.

plus it will help as the cash buys ad time.

I heard most of these polls were taken on or before the 5th

The amount of supporters may have increased slightly due to news coverage but the only reason the poll numbers went up is cause the media decided the number to pull out their arse should be a little higher since he just got a lot of money. If they showed the real percentages, only RP would be top tier for R's.

Nah, we have a huge amount of guests on the forums now. We really are getting much more eyetime.

A few observations:

One, we raised money that will be spent in the future on ads that will THEN have an effect.

Two, we did get some media which contributed to more people learning of Dr. Paul--and learning that he's a credible candidate!

Three, it takes six times before someone remembers a candidate so we crossed off at least one time for many people.

Four, we know that many NEW people have contributed because of the gimmic--welcome!
