When someone's poll numbers are changing rapidly in a short amount of time, you'll have mixed results from poll to poll.

I agree completely. We need to funnel this momentum and enthusiasm into fundraising. Now is the time for action.

They're not on the air now?
I thought Ron Paul was spending more on TV ads there than any candidate.

Perry took that trophy now. Ads are off the air because we aren't reaching the fundraising target. People need to concentrate on getting the campaign to put an Iowa ticker up.

Apparently we have been surging for a while now.

Ticker would go a long way in helping. I don't want a moneybomb, but a fundraising drive WITH a ticker till the end of November.

I would argue that we aren't watching any particular surge. It's simply a gradual rise, and we're moving up in the polls as expected. When the media starts talking us up, and we get to 20% or more in the national polls, that's what a surge looks like. That what our bump looks like.
What could be happening is that they know that Newt, if they like Newt, will be torn to shreds before Iowa. Unless they pull him back now. Even so, he's up, fire away at Newt. Perry is "dead" Bachmann and Cain "dead". And we beat Newt head to head. But it's Newt who has the surge right now in November. Perhaps Paul will get a surge in December, when Newt is a bloody mess. And people say "Isn't Ron Paul also supposed to be a "smart" one". But what we're looking at is simply the natural result of our hard work, not any surge. I'm not saying I'm not pleased this work is helping. But a surge is bigger, this is just us working hard and not collapsing, and moving forward. We've been running ads in Iowa, right?

The media is calling it a surge, the grassroots are energized by a "surge". It helps with enthusiasm. Yes, we've been airing ads, but not anymore. A report came out showing Perry spending a ton, but Ron not buying any ad time. They need money.

You are saying there are literally NO Ron Paul ads, or just not nearly as many as there were?

I was joking... as that "demographic" is the stereotypical RP supporter:The unemployed tech-geeks spamming in the basement, etc.
Obviously, we keep pushing the message everywhere. I try to ignore such collectivist rhetoric, the liberty message is universal. The only collective categories I currently care about are the state-delineated demographics known as Iowa and New Hampshire. Regardless, I thought it was funny that this poll's trivia matched the Paulbot stereotype.

That should be easy; even though Ron isn't a Catholic, his positions are more in accord with Catholic teaching than any other candidate. He opposes torture in agreement with Catholic teaching that torture is an intrinsic evil. He opposed the aggressive war in Iraq which was an unjust war under Catholic Just War theory and was opposed by both the current Pope and his predecessor. He wants to leave all the 'culture war' issues to the states, in clear conformity with the principle of subsidiarity - that matters ought to be handled by the smallest, lowest or least centralized competent authority - which is a cornerstone of Catholic social teaching. He's across the board pro-life, opposing abortion, the death penalty, and aggressive war, in accordance with the teachings of Pope John Paul II in his encyclical, The Gospel of Life.
Seriously, getting Catholics like myself to back Paul should be easy if they take the Church's teachings at all seriously.

The political class seems to have a much different understanding of the term "ceiling" from the rest of us; see the "debt ceiling" for another example.

Is anyone else feeling lightheaded, dumbfounded at how this is all real?
I am amazed and truly in awe. I am just thinking of all those hours I have put in and many thousands of others and how it sometimes felt like we would never be in this position, it is just astounding.
My goodness, think about how Ron Paul must feel! A man who has tirelessly plodded forward for years in the cause of liberty. Now, his time has come.
Can you imagine?!
