4 years ago, who would have thought that Ron Paul would be tied for first ANYWHERE! Let alone one of the most socially conservative states! The R3VOLUTION is alive and well!
Democrat-affiliated PPP polls are clearly gamed towards unelectable candidates. Compared to the CNN poll, Cain and Gingrich are way higher in both %, and favorability. Paul's favorability is 29% lower in PPP than it is in CNN. Romney's is 19% lower.I don't see why. He's talking about PPP, which recently polled Paul at 5% nationally and gave us 9% favorability among the 18-29 years old age group. Do you think that's legitimate?
no time to rest!
I try not to get emotional about political statistics, because hey, outliers are real.
But i would be lying if I did not say that after four years working to get Ron and his ideas elected, and more promoting the liberty movement generally, that I don't have a few tears in my eyes to see this and to know, for a moment, how far we have come.
I spent one of the most depressing evenings in Concord in January '08 when RP finished at 8% and to see a poll at 19... Hallelujah.

Never trust PPP. They're a joke. I normally defend polls, but PPP has one strange poll after another, and they've always shown the same bias towards weak candidates.
This was the leading story on Fox News. Tune in right now!
OK, I clearly should not have come in this morning from the front page. I took one look at that graph and furiously thought, "there is NO POSSIBLE WAY HERMAN CAIN is ahead of RON PAUL in IOWA!!...." and I come in here, and I'm the only one pissed about it. Maybe I should just drink my coffee and wake up the rest of the way.
that polling company is the first one to find the Obama surge. In the Oct Des Moines Register polll, 2007, Hillary had a humongous 'popular' lead. By January or December when they polled again, it was clear Obama would win, due to first time caucusers intending to go.
OMG they are completely ignoring Paul. There still talking about Romney, Cain, and Newt. They're even talking about Santorum. Paul's name is mentioned once. Sad.

Hey guys/gals, that's how I celebrate:
Thank you for your generous donation to the Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign Committee. Your contribution to Ron will help fuel the fight to return this country to the principles that made it great.
Here are your transaction details:
Donation amount: $25.00

Transaction ID: 320153001
Thank you,
Ron Paul 2012 PCC
I donated $25 because we can get these polling numbers up to 25% if we all do a serious effort. Many here can't afford to donate, but please match my donation with time on the phone for Ron instead. If you normally get paid $12.50/hr. consider working two hours for Ron on the phone.
For those that can donate, remember that TV ads worked in Iowa. They are very expensive and likely to earn us support from the TV stations. It's only normal that they won't badmouth their biggest customers.
