Ron Paul Won the Post-Debate Faux-Poll....Did They "Disappear" That?
I heard the audio on Thom Hartman today, Sean Hannity going nuts in the after debate show re: Ron Paul winning the on-line poll 2-to-1.

But I just looked and can't find the poll mentioned - the whole debate is barely mentioned!

4. He dismissed it out of hand
Said something like "yeah, well, that's just 3% of the people who keep voting over and over again".

He's probably partly right, but it was fun to see him so furious.

7. Why have the poll then, Sean?
If his guy doesn't work it's obviously multiple voting?

I think that's bull...probably they all have some element of that, but the people who actually watch the debates are more likely to vote for Paul than the regular guy on the street polls, they're just about name recognition.

5. Anti-war is a sure fire winner these days
I would accept him as president, because he is really the only one who is adamantly against the war. I could put up with the other damage he would do to the United States in exchange for ending the utter brutality we are inflicting on Iraq....Iraq didn't vote for Bush...our country did (at least a lot did) and the decimation of Iraq is OUR fault and its our responsibility to GTFO today.

8. The blind followers were already labeling him a "kook" as soon as it was over
"Get him off there", "Ruining the discourse", etc....etc.
