The wiki link someone provided give lots of info. Here's an attempt at a simplified version. Let's say 10,000 people are in a debate arena, and all 10,000 will vote on the winner. Statistical sampling allows you to "poll" a subset of that population to predict the sentiment of the entire group...

Here's a quick story about who I would consider a "typical" voter here at work. Very smart guy (PhD actually) who is very knowledgable and has strong beliefs/opinions. He has said things like "the republicans aren't any better than the democrats", so I take it he's a disenchanted republican...

I think you misread it. DAY TEN: The interstate highways reopen as private businesses. Road entrepreneurs price travel according to consumer demand. Using modern technology, drivers get bills once a month. Credit risks – and drunks and dangerous drivers – aren't allowed on the road...

We don't know the exact makeup of our supporters. If you go to http://rally.ronpaulplanet.org/stats.php you can see the stats of those who have posted pictures. Now, you have to understand that this is a self-selected sample so it's incredibly prone to bias (if you don't believe that, check...

Yea this is the key. The point here isn't just about stopping terrorists hellbent on taking over a plane. It's also about the property rights of the airlines. Just as Virginia Tech had the choice of whether or not allow guns on campus, airlines should have the same choice. Airlines would be...

Interesting idea. If the "Nuts for Jericho" campaign could deliver 20 TONS of peannuts to the front door of CBS headquarters, I'm sure the grassroots of this campaign could do quite a number with tea... http://www.nutsonline.com/jericho over $54,000 spent on 20 tons via almost 5,000 orders...

Watch this video - John Stossel - Stupid in America http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfRUMmTs0ZA I think this does a good job of pointing out the advantages of free market approaches to education problems. It discusses Belgium's publically funded free market approach which I found pretty...

Shouldn't Mitt Romney get two checks for "Homeland Security: Guantanamo"?? :)

Here's a description from the Dr himself... Though much attention is focused on the notorious abuses of earmarking, and there are plenty of examples, in fact even if all earmarks were eliminated we would not necessary save a single penny in the federal budget. Because earmarks are funded from...

Though much attention is focused on the notorious abuses of earmarking, and there are plenty of examples, in fact even if all earmarks were eliminated we would not necessary save a single penny in the federal budget. Because earmarks are funded from spending levels that have been determined...

Gambling 911 was there is claiming that 2,000 might be a "conservative number" for the attendance... That would be incredible but I'll need more confirmation before I believe it... http://www.gambling911.com/Ron-Paul-080407.html Gambling911.com's Kira Wissman was expecting a room with maybe...

I stand corrected! I clearly need more practice reading legislation - i'd probably fit right in on capitol hill :) Thanks for point that out.

This is direct text from the bill http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/F?c110:2:./temp/~c110xiE2cQ:e493: (C) urges the Administration to seriously consider multilateral intervention to stop genocide in Darfur should the United Nations Security Council fail to act; and I can't speak for Paul...

I thought that at first, but look a little closer. In 2006 they endorsed a grand total of "nearly 100" republicans at all levels of government. That's not very many. In the US House for example, I counted a total of 33 endorsements (out of 435 seats), and that included some folks who lost in...

This is a TERRIFIC article - If you need a sales pitch for long time Republicans, this is it.
