Yes he won, and this is just as 'scientific' as any MSM poll.

Ron Paul: Father of the Modern Republican Party !

Some polls show him be at 1%, some at over 40%. I am sure the reality is somewhere in the middle. I find him to be a breath of fresh air to politics and to the republican party.

Not only have the republicans lost their way in regards to the Iraq war, they have adopted a big government approach to everything. When Bush and the GOP contorlled congress, they passed the largest entitlement program in generations. They support campaign finance reform, no child left behind (federal funds for local schools) and the pork they put in their bills like the highway bill would make any liberal proud.

If you had told a conservative republican 50 years ago that today the party is debating how much the federal government should spend on health care, that person would say you are nuts. To me the biggest asset Dr Paul brings to the table is that we need to determine what the role of the federal government should be?

If the Federal government can virtually get involved in every aspect of our lives, what is the need of the 10th amendment, guaranteeing states rights?

Interesting how Brownback went from such a low percentage to 35% (as of 4:05 CT). Interesting indeed. How does one go from 700 to 18,962 (6% to 35%) while everyone one else has virtually stayed the same. Interesting...

any chance we can bring Goldwater back to life? Why was the first question about abortion? Is that really the most important issue? What has happened to Republicans? Get out of my personal life! Do for me what I can't do! Like maintain bridges! And defend the homeland! Heck of a job Republicans, heck of a job!

It's also interesting that Ron Paul's numbers always jumped into the thousands within seconds of a poll being up. It's interesting that Duncan Hunter went from 111 votes, to 48, while John McCain went from 47, to 110 during the middle of the debate on ABC's poll.....and that at least one or two people have so far reported getting error messages when voting for Hunter.

Okay, everybody...You all be sure to listen to the Drudge Report
tonight, and let's see if Mr. Drudge even mentions his little online
poll which RON PAUL is still winning....

It's usually on at around 10pm on an AM radio station.

Should be interesting....

well I love it when someone says they are for Paul and then says that really he probably only got 'somewhere in the middle' of 1% and 45%. might as well say 'He's just who I want to be president but he'll never win so I'm voting for Guliani'
Wake up. He is the best candidate and right now he is the only one who can beat New World Order shills Clinton and Obama.

Great to see Paul storming ahead, I agree with the poster who said he is the only Presidential candidate with any chance of winning who doesn't think we're all WORTHLESS CATTLE!

Ron Paul is the best choice, regardless of party affiliation. Doesn't matter what 'party' he is... it's the MAN that counts. If Ron Paul were on the democratic ticket, I'd register democrat for the first time in my life just to be sure this MAN wins the primaries. It's not the party, it's the man and he has what it takes.

Don't pay attention to what individuals think, that can only VOTE ONCE because their IP's are logged.

Just pay attention to the network talking heads who are in the back pockets of the big establishment machine. They say the top tier guys were great, and the second tier didn't even register.

It's so obvious now, or at least should be that the mainstream media is full of Sh!t most of the time. The polls are saying this and that... these polls are done almost all the time on land lines. I haven't had a land line in a long time. Who has land lines? Statistically older people do, who are also found to be unfamiliar with the internet and alternate media sources. So those who are 'polled' are unfamiliar with the truth and are filled with the mainstream pro big government liberal propaganda from; FOX, CNN, NBC, etc..

These internet polls are by far more scientific than the 'polls' they constantly claim data from period.

I thought that George S. slant against Ron Paul was abominable. His opinion was not asked for on some issues and he was cut off timewise while Guliani,Romney, and occasionally others were allowed more time than proscribed before being red lighted. It seems obvious to me that the Liberal Media don't think he is a serious contestant and therefore give him short shrift. I hope that this comes back and bites them all in the backside.
