“Freepers (and those out there who think like Freepers) are not a decisive majority in the Republican electorate. Not even close.
Polls seem to have disappeared from FR but they were still around in 2008. Most polls showed support for Tancredo, Duncan and Thompson. The primarys were dominated by McCain, Huckabee and Romney.”
So, the only conclusion possible is that an electorate to which the universal franchise has been extended, is infinitely pliable, by application of the ruses of the demogogue.
A lot of people don’t seem to recall, but I remember specifically. There was a FR poll on the front page, and Duncan Hunter had a bit over 90% up until the day he dropped out. I remember at that time Hunter was polling nationally at around 1% which is way below Ron Paul. Just gives you a bit of perspective.
