In this otherwise-dreary campaign season, it’s always good fun to flame-bait Ron Paul supporters. And it’s easier than a yarn-factory worker teasing a kitten.
Paul’s support in online polls is, no matter what Shane says, an illusion. Before the good folks at PJ Media figured out how to beat the poll-spammers, Paul “won” week after week. Paul’s support vanished when the tech guys shut down the bots. Go figure.
Other polls, such as Drudge Report’s from last week, showed that 77% of (self-selected!) those (self-)polled thought that Dennis Kucinich won. Really? 77% of the real public don’t know who Kucinich is or that he’s running. 77% of Democrats who watched the debate couldn’t identify him any closer than, “Wasn’t he mayor of Indiana or someplace?”
Real polls show that Paul’s actual support and name recognition are no better than Kucinich. So, please, spare me the results of IP-spoofed internet “polls” filled with self-selected “voters” and their robot pals.
I mean, the stuff from real outfits like Gallup and Zogby, etc is bad enough.
