Exactly! We can show that the media is foolish when they try to protray us as "fringe". A searchable database where you can read honest comments from people like you about issues you care about?

How is this not the BEST IDEA EVER??!?!?!

It stops at 3:37 pm, I don't think people stopped writing, so I guess they stopped posting.

Hahaha. I've been reading that book for the last month! I'm almost finished, just another 4,000 pages or so left now!

Trying to load that comments page slowed my comptuer down for like a minute hahaha I thought it had crashed! It is truely inspiring. I think the person who put that request up is going to get a similar feeling looking at that amount of comments as when somebody looks at a giant protest in the streets or something. When the NUMBERS become REAL!

When I posted mine a few minutes ago, I got a response saying that the message has been submitted to the NPR screener and will be posted after review. It looks like he's in for a long night! :D

It came out to be 682 pages long.

Nice! I submitted mine:

I am a 29 year old software developer from Los Angeles. I had never heard of Dr. Paul before the first Republican debate. What he was saying was outrageous, amazing, and totally against the grain. I was swayed by the 'moderators' and became angry at Dr. Paul. So angry that I decided to look into his speeches and voting record. It was then that I realized that not only was he totally correct, but that he is the most consistent and principled man in Congress.

I have delved deep and given up both my Christmas and wedding anniversary trips in order to donate to his campaign. I consider this money spent very well, money spent trying to help myself, my family, and all of my fellow Americans.

CLOSED: Who Are Ron Paul's Supporters?
Interview with Bennett Roth

Greetings, Ron Paul fans. You've been an incredibly civil, thoughtful, well-spoken and engaged crowd. Thing is, you're also an incredible crowd -- so much so that we can't keep up with turning on all your comments. As of 8:10 or so a.m. Eastern, we're going to turn off commenting on this thread. If time permits, we'll circle back and post comments that were filed earlier.

And we do hope you'll keep hanging around the Bryant Park Project. You've become part of the show, and we'd really miss you.

Laura

I'm not sure how to do an actual count but there seems to be thousands and thousands of replies!!! (can someone smarter than me get a total count and post it here?) This should be used to counter any "he can't win" diatribe.

That's right! Over 3200 comments before they shut it down. I'm sure it would have been many many more. That's why we came up with the idea for www.WeAreRonPaul.com, a place where people can leave comments just like this for the world to see. Totally searchable, with videos optional too! Check it out:

Idea: maybe you could contact the NPR people and ask them to give a plug to the website if / when they "circle back" on the story as they said they might.

I count 3898 comments, exactly.

I just copied and pasted all the comments into TextWrangler then searched for the term "Sent by" and it returned 3898 results.

They claim that more than 4,000 comments were posted before they shut it off. Hear "Laura" from NPR talk about the huge response here: http://www.npr.org/templates/player/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&t=1&islist=false&id=17494416&m=17494376

NPR now has posted a blip entitled, "The End of our Ron Paul-valanche". RP supporters are posting comments to that asking them to do a follow up story relating to the vast diversity of RP supporters that posted comments to the original "request".

http://www.npr.org/blogs/bryantpark/2007/12/the_end_of_our_ron_paulvalanch.html

Such a follow up story could be a very powerful tool to dispel the myth that RP supporters are just "radical college students, conspiracy theorists, and abrasive 'loons'".

Let's give them another 4,000 reasons to do the follow up story. I encourage all to be civil and positive. NPR commented on how civil and respectful the first 4,000 RP supporters were.

Please, everyone... keep a civil, productive and supportive tone to your requests for a follow up story. It may be helpful to bring up the point that a story dispelling the myth about RP supporters would be a BIG story for them.

There is an enormous amount of data here. Pay close attention of the numbers and percentages of;
1) First time Voters,
2) Democrats,
3) Independants
Check it out for yourself. If these statistics are a good cross section of Ron Paul's support base, and if we are 100% as a group going to vote in the primaries then one can extrapolate a very acurate poll.
Anyone that wants to take the time can forecast this into a much more scientific forecast.
This is so amazing that my hands are shaking as I type this.
NPR statistical Poll = 45%
MSA Poll = 6%
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!!!!!!

Remember, not all of the first time voters declared themselves as such. I cannot help but to think that the first time voters will outnumber those who would fit into the category of "have voted in the past two or three elections" by a significant margin.
