Your post is the problem. It's never about who will make the best President, it's about believing who will get the most votes.

Keep voting for the same status quo candidates and you'll get the same failures.

Since when is the best policy in the Middle East to do more of the same war mongering? That force hasn't worked yet, has it? You treat the cause not the symptom. The cause of the threat to us is our illegal occupation of foreign countries while protecting our oil interests. Look out Canada you're next.

The only answer is to lead by example. Isn't that what we tell our youth? Bring our troops home to protect our borders instead of protecting other nations borders. Show the same respect for property rights we have in America to nations in the Middle East. Only then will attacks on Americans become virtually non-existent.

Why do you think you can't get him to lead in any state? You're very well organized as a group of supporters, have no trouble raising cash...what aren't you doing? Or let me ask a different question, if a different 3 states were the first three on the primary schedule, would he have a better chance? If so, which states could you see him carry?

"I think it's your "between elections organization" that's not working. Would working to get a more fairer primary schedule order be a better tactic?

Anyone who is good at computers can get around that, hell you could use different browsers and get around this. A link to one of the Ron Paul sites were on here last night and it showed how you can hide your IP

Even if you have a static IP, you can't reserve more than 2 or 3. Unless you're on dial-up, it's impossible to use multiple IP addresses.

The Ron Paul sites linked multiple times in this thread show how it can be done. Not to mention 2007 the same exact thing happened, Paul dominated the online and straw polls, but he got nowhere near the nomination.

It's still only one vote per IP address per poll.

Unlikely 100,000 online poll voters would know how to or take the trouble to block their IP address.

100,000 no, but a handful can do it tons of times, to make it look like 100,000 when in fact its not.

Not to mention (the point you keep ignoring) is Paul dominated these very same online and straw polls four years ago, but came nowhere near the nomination.
