Paul At 4% And Huckabee AT 22% In Iowa?!?

[benhaskins]

it would be nice if they gave the sample size in every poll they mention instead of saying, "60% of americans like looking at yellow poop."

Huck and Romney are splitting up alot of the neocon votes:

Favorable opinions of Huckabee have dropped from 81% to 67% over the past week and the Huckabee tide has receded a bit. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Iowa’s Likely Caucus Participants shows that Huckabee and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney are now essentially tied for the lead in the state that will vote first in 2008.

No worries, we all know these polls underestimate Ron Paul's support. Just keep on campaigning!

What are we missing? A good official campaign

So if Paul only gets 4% in the actually primary election how many of you will accept it and how many will say, "the election is a lie" or "it was rigged" ?

Depends on when and where.

If he is consistently getting that low of a number from IA to NH to WY to Super Tuesday....then we can probably assume that our support just isn't strong enough.

On the other hand, this is why exit polls are very very important. If the exit polls are showing Ron Paul at 30% and the "official" vote count is 4%......then we have a much better case to investigate any election rigging.

Guys I gotta be honest, I am somewhat envious of what Huckabee has done and with almost no money! (I will not vote for him but dang.)

As I think of this I have to wonder what it is that we are not doing. We have money, massive rabid support, the right message and the best messenger by far.

What am I missing?

We need this mailing list that right now, only Huckabee has (or something similar to it).

Huckabee didn't do anything. The powers that be realized that Mitt and Guiliani can't fool the American people, so they went to option C. Huckabee. Once they started mentioning his name every 5 seconds, his poll numbers started to increase. I've seem the media take something that 10% of the American public favors and reverse the poll numbers to like 80% in a matter of weeks. This is what we are dealing with.

The polling is getting ridiculous... we do our thing and disregard all this nonsense... polls done with couple hundred of people, with 5% margin of error?? that is a joke... check out this article:

VERY GOOD analysis of a poll-obsessed media...

Interesting quote from the article:

"[ABC Reporter] Snow recalled that 'four years ago, John Kerry — who eventually was the Democratic nominee — he was polling in Iowa at 4 percent.' "

Polls are lies.

Not to mention Huckabee didn't do it - the national media - out of nowhere - decided make a big deal out of him and talk about him endlessly and put his face on the air every two minutes, plus driving it into everyone's head what a great Christian he is - which all the evangelicals suck up like candy. "Huckabee...He's the one to watch. It looks like Huckabee is going to break out!!!!" and so on. They are playing there part in "Find any excuse to promote anyone besides Ron Paul!" game.

This continious parade of bogus polls that dishearten supporters is a tactic short-lived.

Three weeks from now, you will be licking your whiskers , satisfied in your accomplishments.
