Interesting but it doesn't mean anything......... THose little states get to decide who we vote for............ TO bad we didn't have them all run (or most) & then run-off the winners....... Then you will have the will of "all" the ppl, not just the nobodies in those nowhere states......

If you click on the individual states, you see that Ron Paul is actually tied in percentage points for first in every state he is not winning except for New York and New Jersey where he is still in second trailing the hometown Giuliani by about 6-7%. He is kicking ass.

What is most strking to me is that this straw poll very much mirrors scientific polls by NBC, Gallup, Fox News on the Democratic side. But on the republican side, Paul barely shows up in the scientific polls. Hmm... something's going on here. I'm not a "truther" or conspiracy freak, but I think something's going on here with these main stream polls. As I've stated before, I believe Paul will do much better than these main stream polls indicate when real votes are counted.
The most important question is: Who will Mud vote for if it did come down to Hillary vs. Paul?

With primaries looming, uncertainty reigns over GOP slate

What's interesting in this story, is what is NOT being said. Ron Paul is not mentioned once; yet the entire article is on how voters appear to be continually changing the candidate of choice - on both sides - Democrat and Republican - and how they haven't made up their minds yet. The story also covers how people are crossing party lines. This could be a potential smoke screen for the fix in the numbers count for the primaries; a way to muddy the water. To me, it would seem that all these shifting voters are going to Ron Paul. There are some vague references in the story about how voters are changing from Ghouliani to Huckster "and other candidates" again on both sides. Hmmmmm......

Yes, I've heard another "vague reference" to voters jumping on a bandwagon. What bandwagon would that be? Hmmm..... What's going on here?

Seems to me Paul supporters don't change their minds. They are very adamant in their support.

I don't think it's a conspiracy theory to say that the media is biased. How do they not mention Ron Paul once in the entire story? Some people have commented on the AOL poll that they didn't even know who Ron Paul was before they saw the AOL straw poll. That's unbelievable!
