Good one. The potential symbolism in this one though is pretty funny.

This is the long tail effect. The internet allows a niche group of passionate people to drive something to success, in this case RP's fund-raising. That can cause a distortion of perception, though, because it might seem like there's a majority here. Really, what you're seeing is a relatively small, but not insignificant group of people brought together regardless of geography.
That mis-perception is made worse when those same passionate supporters gather in large groups on street corners and at rallies, hang signs everywhere, and vote in every internet poll; Other candidates' supporters aren't passionate enough to do so.
This is all GOOD for us, because it means we can organize, raise money, and spread support. But we shouldn't let it fool us into thinking that we have more support than we actually do. This is a long-term movement. This was never going to happen in a year or two.
But the most important thing is to hang in there and simply stand up for what you believe in. Even if you were the only one who believed this, you should do nothing less.

......I am afraid for our future
Voter fraud is a fact. It was a major problem in New Hampshire and most likely several other states. People don't want to talk about that. They like to pretend that they can control the situation by going out to vote and taking their friends with them.I actually think voter fraud might be very real on Super Tuesday especially.
Don't burn your knickers over skewed numbers. Burn the damned machines instead or at least pull the plugs out.
I happen to agree, if we want to fight on, we need to go third, get the backing of serious media types to do a media blitz. If we can not get a faction of the media cheering Ron Paul on, we will basically come across the same type of outcome as we have here today. It will take overwhelming power and will to overturn a well oiled machine that is hell bent on self destruction.
You know what? The MSM and the neocons are very impressed, too, although they'll never admit.
We have made history, against impossible odds.
And, we haven't begun to fight!
And, the best part? They can't figure out who we are or how to manipulate us.
We are immune to them.
*sigh*
