James Moore, you ought to say, "If online support were used as a measure..." Paul doesn't have grassroots support or else he'd be performing at least as well as Huckabee.

You want to see flatlines? Check out Meetup.com. Paul and Huckabee are the only Republicans who have NOT flatlined. Paul's and Huckabee's groups have the most members by far. And Paul's groups have over 105,000 members, compared to Huckabee's 16,000+. If grassroots support is used as a measure, Paul towers over the field by such a wide margin it's surreal.

The beauty of the Ron Paul campaign is how we all act in UNITY as a COLLECTIVE. I was never in politics until I went to a RP campaign and then I discovered the power that a collective can gain when we put all of our differences aside. The Ron Paul movement is growing. Soon we will ALL support Dr. Paul. Our movement is TOTALLY awesome. Absolutely! It concerns me a little that, while I suspect this might be a parody, I honestly can't tell for sure. This, however, is far too unsubtle to be effective parody: Maybe this isn't the place to ask, but my friend or ex-friend used to be a Ron Paul supporter because he liked his stance on limited government, personal liberty, and the war. But the more he found out about his stance against IRS, the UN, Panama Canal and the rest, he changed his mind. Our Ron Paul meet-up group sends him hundreds of hate emails a day, hoping to convince him of our certainty and absolute confidence in Ron Paul Teachings, to win back our prodigal son. Any advice on maintaining the purity and sanctity of the Ron Paul meet-up groups? Anyone else dealing with defections now?

Brewdidds asked, "Do you have a neato chart that compares his media attention with all this." I do. :) According to Google Trends Ron Paul is getting less coverage than Giuliani, even after the latter dropped out of the race. (Look at the "news reference volume" section---it's the bottom chart of the two.)

The first time I attended a Ron Paul rally, I was so impressed by His Revelations of how global bankers and global educators our trying to take away our country. I reached in my pocket, and gave him all my money except for the bus fare I needed to go home. The Ron Paul campaign has shown its genius at raising money. Otherwise we would never have gotten headlines. I will continue to give him money until He has taken back our sovereignty and ended the power of greedy bankers, the NAFTA superhighway and all the other money-grabbing globalists. Obey the U.S. Constitution! Long live America!

I agree with Hans. I never would vote for Democrats, but what is a good patriot to do when your country sells itself to the world government? Dr. Paul is the absolute answer to fight against the UN. Bush's war is an extension of his father's UN-backed war. Bush showed his love of the UN when he rejoined UNESCO and continued fighting for the UN. Soon we will not be able to conduct home schooling or defend ourselves with guns or practice our freedom if we have to obey world government. We will all be learning foreign languages and foreign cultures rather than English and American culture. We need to get the foreign flags off US soil, and restore the US flag in Panama in order to retake the North American continent under American sovereignty and stop the North American Union. Vote Ron Paul!

Some bloggers here are worried that Dr. Paul is not a good Republican. But Dr. Paul appeals to people like me who were good patriots and supported Bush but got disillusioned and felt betrayed. A year ago we were thinking we would have to vote for a Democrat for the first time in our lives. Then we found out about Paul's Message, of TRUE and total American Sovereignty against the United Nations and all world government. Dr. Paul opposed the UN-backed wars in Iraq that have zapped our economy and sovereign pride. He supported having Congress declare war, not the UN. So, die-hard Republicans can relax, Ron Paul is taking votes from Democrats, not Republicans. Only Dr. Paul is a true, anti-UN patriot.

Only RON PAUL stands for individual freedom. Only Dr. Paul can prevent the United Nations and other forms of world government from taking away our freedom as individuals.
Dr. Paul spent much of his career tirelessly campaigning against Marxism and world government and other forms of global society, cross-cultural education and totalitarianism. He believes in the "golden rule" foreign policy, which is that world bankers and communists should not take over OUR country. The NAFTA superhighway is the direct result of the loss of US sovereignty over the Panama Canal. Restore the US flag over North-South and East-West trade! Restore US sovereignty! Vote Ron Paul!

If the Paulbots have taught us anything, it's that they're not really part of the GOP primary pool in the sense other poll respondents are. They're on board for Ron Paul, not selecting a nominee to represent the Republican Party in November. Naturally their goals and reactions to (and perceptions of) the race are different. I've never seen any polling specific to the issue, but I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that over 40% of them have never voted in a GOP primary (and I wouldn't be surprised if the percentage was higher than 60).

Jim_NYC: "Perception is everything. Elections are decided by the uninformed. You know it, I know it, a lot of people know it." Gee, where have we heard this tactic before? Oh, I know... Paultards still don't get it. Paultards attempt to use a little "pshycology" Ron Paul has the highest disapproval rating of any other republican. The exit polls show that only something like 6% of the people in bloody NEW HAMPSHIRE honestly believed that Ron Paul was the best man for the job. But you Paultards are still convinced that everyone really DOES want Ron Paul as president, they're just too "scared" to admit it! The problem with you Paultards is that you seem to think that the 97% of America who don't support Ron Paul are stupid and sheeplike, so you attempt to act in a stupid way in order to "appeal" to them, rather than just sitting down like a regular human being and LISTENING to them. Which only turns more people off.
