Kinda great they placed him on the left side of thompson, makes him feel like a greater competitor than if they had placed him on the right side. Maybe I'm just nitpicking.. :p

Am I missing something? It still shows 9%. Should be 11%

I beleive that you are correct.

In fact 9% is not shown as any of Ron Paul's results on that poll.

The chart below has findings for all 4 days...

Dec 27-28...8%
Dec 28-29...10%
Dec 29-30...11%...

None of those are 9% and even if you average them it come out to be 9.7%....essentially 10%

They are STILL flat out lying!!!!!

Thanks, its a tough crowd.

I think this poll was a 9% 9% tie with RP getting 9.4% or something and so having an edge into 4th.

Did this actually happen, and the OP decided to swap the photos out, or is this just a joke?

If we're tied for 4th in the flawed polls, we've got 3rd easy. I say shoot for first. Everything is in our favor, including the caucus system - one more chance to sway voters. We can only improve, since no one is going to ditch paul at the last minute.

Find it intresting the old media say Ron Paul will place 4th, but several mainstream news articles and even abc news video saying Ron will likely place third. A Iowa news paper is predicting a third place finish. They are condricting at every turn.

how does the caucus work? Does each precint just get one winner and the 1st, 2nd etc determined by the person winning the most precints, then 2nd most?

in a nutshell - do you have to WIN precincts (1st) to place in the total?

If you had 15% but didnt get first in any precincts would you get last in the end result?

Im unfamiliar with caucuses - thanks
