This is the problem, right here...

Daily Paul is all over this strategy... They CAN botch the RNC nomination process by doing the same things they have been doing to online polls.
Dude, those polls are BUNK. They are excluding Paul's name, and they are calling the same (dwindling) GOP registered voters who voted for Bush in 2004. Almost all of Paul's support is from newcomers and independents, in addition to conservatives angry at the GOP.
He’s meaningless.
He's won or placed higher than 3rd in almost all GOP straw polls, polls that can't be "spammed" by the way, people have to get off their ass and pay to vote. Look at Dr. Paul's YouTube videos, they are always in the hundreds of thousands of views. I saw a YouTube clip of Fred Thompson which didn't even have a 100 views.
He has a lot of kooks who spam and send him money but when it comes to actual national numbers he loses to a joke campaign by a liberal entertainer.
Are you seriously going to deride those who normally aren't part of the political process as a bunch of kooks? So when FR used to criticize the "sheeple" for not voting back in the days, now they're criticizing them for participating just because they're not supporting their favorite candidate. $4.3 million raised on 11/05, GOP online fundraising record, and another money-bomb on 12/16, Boston Tea Party.
