Campaign is adding roughly 50 new bloggers for Huckabee tomorrow...
By Zephyr Teachout, 10/22/2007 - 11:15pm
If you are not a Huckabee watcher you may not have noticed that he has raised $325,000 in the past six days. This may not sound like much unless you know that the original challenge was for $200,000, and that last quarter he raised a total of $1,000,000.
The server is getting upgraded to handle the traffic.
You may also not know that Huckabee has a blogroll of 260+ bloggers---mostly very small blogs--that support him.
Campaign is adding roughly
Ron Paul fundraising
Ron Paul made about $403,000 in the past three days online. See his web site or Ron Paul Graphs dot com for details.
Well 300 bloggers aint bad
I think Paul only has 1100
Ron Paul's Numbers
Fortunately all the "noise" that the Ron Paul supporters make doesn't add up to anything in the polls. Mike's numbers do.
All of Ron Paul's numbers are true, even the bad ones.
The polls that show Ron in the 3-5% are true.
The polls that show him winning by huge landslide margins 40%+ are also true.
How can they both be true?
The 3-5% Polls:
These polls are always measured in the same way. A third party calls homes on their land-lines(home telephones). I don't personally know anyone that even has a land-line anymore, even my grandpa has a cell phone. So they're already only calling the people out there who think it's still 1983. On top of that, to hurt 2nd tier(now 1st tier) candidates like Ron Paul, they dont mention his name at all. You must select an option for "other" to get to him. And then there is name recognition, which for these people who are probably old and may have only seen a computer once or twice, Ron Paul does not stand out to them(not to mention the fact that he is not even recognized in the list of candidates.) So you can see why he would land a 3-5%.
40%+ online or texting Polls
The online and text voting(where Ron Paul always wins) are easily accessible and all of his supporters are heavily involved. They swarm in hoards like nothing seen before in the presidential elections(which I believe will reflect in actual votes in the primary elections). Ron Paul wins by such large margins that Main Stream Media sites like MSNBC and FOX take the polls off-line and say they've been hacked or some other ridiculous excuse, which is just another form of censoring Ron Paul to negate any further support for him in the primaries. If it were possible for a small group of people to fudge the polls, wouldn't other candidates' supporters also be doing the same thing making the whole contest relative?
Ron Paul has more donors than any other candidate (That's more donors, not more money).
Ron Paul has received more donations from the military than any other candidate.
He is going to win in the New Hampshire Primaries in a land slide and other states will follow suit.
Only one Democrat can win. Ron Paul is going to get the support of all the people who were supporting the Dem that lost whether it be Hillary, Obama or Edwards because of his anti-war policy and his impeccable voting record in Congress. Also, and this one's for the Republicans, we all know that this election is going to go to the Democrats if Giuliani/Romney/Thompson or any other War-Mongering Republican gets the nomination. Seriously Republicans, you have to realize that near 75% of Americans want out of Iraq. They're either going to vote Dem or vote Paul. So what's it gonna be?
Restore the Republic!
End the War!
Protect Our Borders!
VOTE RON PAUL 2008!
