Wow... AP posts erroneous figures and Politico broadcasts them via their site...
Maybe i am missing something here and need to go back and read the previous posts...
btw: Who is the "we" that got "them" to fix the site? I am no forum nazi, but the "All Seeing Eye" who just joined this month with 3 posts is the one who got "them" to fix the AP feed??
hmmmmm
Hey! We are Natasha and Shaun Hawkes and we run
www.starttherevolution.org. All Seeing Eye is my name on our forum! Sorry, guess it is a little wierd if you don't know me already!
Here is what we sent:

....and put it right now that they have been told a little something like this,

Please, please, PLEASE can you take down your "testing" numbers on the tracker.
One of two things is definitely true:
1. You did not consider the massive importance of having a candidate such as Ron Paul @ 5% in dead last may have on future primary "undecideds" who might just drop in, see the "result" and decide that Dr. Paul was not worth voting for after all.

If 1 is true then I assume that this e-mail will "awaken" you to this terrible faux pas and you will reset to zero as soon is humanly possible.
If 2 is true then you will not do the above and WE WILL KNOW!
I have taken screenshots and passed the link around Facebook, Ron Paul Forums, mailing lists for my web site and who knows where else.
My point being, if this is intentional, you will have just really annoyed an ENORMOUS number of very fervent POLITICALLY ACTIVE young people who will, at very least, destroy the reputation of your website in about one month flat (maybe they will even fly a blimp with "F**k You Frank" on one side and, well, you get the idea...!!!
Seriously, please fix this. In the interests of fair play alone you should feel compelled to do so.
Awaiting in eager anticipation,
Natasha Hawkes, supporter of Ron Paul, next President of the USA."
And they said a little something like this,
"Hello,
Can you please provide a link to the page you mention? Best,

...And by the time we replied and checked the link, it was at zero again...by magic!
POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
PS We have tried the same tactic with AOL but have so far had no success.
