Pauls support is minimal in every poll ever published, and the high results in web polls are due to PRs poll-bots. Really makes me wonder where all the money coming in through the “web donations” is coming from. Might be interesting if the originating source for the funding was made public.

It is.

He also does well in straw polls. If it was just the online polls vs the telephone polls I would say the telephone polls are the way to go hands down, but when it’s straw polls and fundraising as well I think perhaps it is the telephone polls which are wrong.

It is. You can go on to his website and see how many individuals people have donated this quarter, how many new doners there are this week, and there is a continuing scroll of the names of various doners. Unlike the other campaigns, his is very transparent with this information. I’m sorry if his large amount of support doesn’t fit in with reality as defined by the dinosaur media’s polls (the same ones freepers generally disparage otherwise).

After he wins in New Hampshire, you will eat those words.

First, you ask for money,
Then, I call in and say that I'll send in a bunch of money (pledge),
Then, no actual money comes in (oops)...

That's the Paul story...that and the totally loony thing.

Take the MSM polls with a grain of salt. If I'm not mistaken, the phone polls are calling the remaining Republican base, who support the status quo - Paul has a lot of support from disillusioned Republicans who haven't voted in the last couple elections, third party conservatives, independents, libertarians, and young people who have never voted before. They are not being reached by the phone polls.

Also, I've heard that some of these phone polls don't even mention Paul's name. Take a look at this. They mention the candidates the MSM promotes, and then the category of "other".

and the high results in web polls are due to PRs poll-bots.

LOL. Riight. Wake up, the man has support, and passionate support at that. If you still think it's a half dozen poll spammers, even after today, you're living in the past. That was said a few months ago... but it no longer flies, in fact, it is laughable to claim that now.

Uh, that's because the polls exclude his name and they poll the same registered Republicans who voted in 2004.

A live person still has to use the mouse to click on the radio button there skippy.

Really makes me wonder where all the money coming in through the “web donations” is coming from.

They're coming from ordinary people, fed up with the status-quo and the two-party duopoly.

Might be interesting if the originating source for the funding was made public.

If you'd take the liberty to look on his website instead of repeating rehashed propaganda that'll make DU blush, you'd discover that all the names are listed in real-time. In fact, Paul's campaign is the first campaign to list all the names of the people who donated to him.
