There was a spike on Alexa for RP's campaign site in the last couple days. I think maybe the Google video had something to do with it. Thoughts?

Holy crap is there a major spike since the 1st of May.

I hope I'm wrong here, but is there any way to check to see how many "unique" members there are? I'm in three, I think (Arlington, VA and then the two DC ones). My suspicion is that many of us are joining that (stupid) inauguration Meetup and skewing the results.

If you register a meetup group at RonPaul.meetup.com the architecture keeps track of individuals who register with any meetup subgroup of Ron Paul that have a unique email address. So you can join multiple groups and only be counted once, as long as you use the same email address. The only way to skew the results is if you register under more than one email address.

If anything the results are skewed by only counting individual members and not counting households, which would inflate the total. But I think it would be better to underestimate our strength and simply realize that we have a lot of couples and families involved who have joined under one email address.

That is very interesting info, but how do you know this info?

according to the wording on meetup as I understand it.. It counts unique among all the groups within a particulatr category..

I could be wrong. But that is how I am reading it

Yeah, I was wondering about that inauguration one too. We should subtract that number from the total, at least.
