Ron Paul Supporters Dominate Online Polls

TJ Baurain posted yesterday about the online poll being conducted by POLITICO to find "who should have won CPAC's Straw Poll?" There was two other online polls being conducted by NYDailyNews.com and LaurainGraham.com.

All 3 polls were dominated by online Ron Paul supporters. It is great to see the internet following still going strong. But we can now say we are no longer just an internet following; we have won supporters who will come out to get Ron Paul elected, even if it is just a straw poll at CPAC.

POLITICO: Who Should Have Won The CPAC Straw Poll?

Politico.com has jumped right on the marginalization bandwagon when it comes to Ron Paul winning the CPAC 2010 Straw Poll. Their poll today is asking who should have won the CPAC Straw Poll- a puzzling move, considering how active Dr. Paul's supporters are online.

It seems to me that Dr. Paul's win has not sat well with old media, and neoconservatives- they've dusted off and put back in use their old media guide to attacking Ron Paul.

I propose we let our voice be heard in the Politico poll. Who's with me?

Ron Paul Gains Mainstream Traction

The Politico did a great piece today on Ron Paul and how his ideas are becoming more mainstream as time goes along.

Is libertarian rock star and Texas Republican Ron Paul going mainstream?

He’s got everyone from South Carolina Republican Sen. Jim DeMint to Minnesota moderate Democrat Collin Peterson to California liberal Barbara Boxer on his side in his audit-the-Fed crusade. He’s drawing liberal support in his push to rein in the cost of the war in Afghanistan. Senate candidates like Democratic Rep. Paul Hodes of New Hampshire are finding Dr. No’s populist economic anger to be useful in the campaign, echoing Paul’s criticism of the Federal Reserve.
