]]> By: Casey - from Texas http://www.bloggernews.net/111695#comment-127336 Casey - from Texas Thu, 15 Nov 2007 16:40:31 +0000 http://www.bloggernews.net/111695#comment-127336 And no one ever wants to mention that Ron Paul supporters who paid $75 a head to get in to vote at the Straw Poll were turned away even if they were delegates. The ones who got turned away were the ones who had RP T-shirts, RP buttons, or any signs of being a supporter of Ron Paul. The 17% that did get in to vote for him is still significant in spite of this. Look at the turn out numbers themselves, and you can see that a large number of people who paid to vote, the expected number of people, was substantially lower than the number of people who showed up. I doubt all these people had emergencies that were greater than making their 75 bucks worthwhile. I have seen video footage of the event as well. As a Ron Paul supporter from Texas, I know, fullheartedly, that the people who believe Ron Paul isn't doing well here in this state are wrong. I am not saying that he will win here but he certainly isn't hated at all, infact, Austin TX and Houston TX both search Ron Paul more than any other candidates with an extreme gap between Ron Paul is the most popular and whoever else the second most popular is. You guys fear the Revolution because you feel it coming :) like a wave!!

September? Sorry, we internet PaulBots expect something a little more up to the minute. Or day or week or month. I still say I'll put my guy Ron Paul toe-to-toe on the issues with anyone else's candidate, and in front of the American people he'll win. All we want is a fair hearing and a fair fight. The Ron Paul train is rolling. “Texas Strawpoll Results are Latest Proof”

It references a straw poll of recent Republican delegates (your typical Bush supporter) and then references a primary challenger Peden and several other unknown polls. Dr. Paul may very well be in trouble, but Hill's article doesn't make a convincing argument that it indeed is. Rather it drives across Hill's own anxiety with Dr. Paul more solidly than his argument.

Were his "spammers" allowed to vote in the poll, he undoubtedly would've won it.

It is spamming when he wins and reality when he looses? As for me, I choose spamming the election. Because that would be both spam and real victory, and this time, they wont be able to cancel the results because they came out wrong. What about the other scores of straw polls where Paul won?
