Cain also led the actual polling, granted that in part shows how insane the current base has become, but he did lead and was competitive in actual polling Paul hasn't been.

Mainstream is suppressing Ron Paul but they won't be able to sustain it.

Nobody would go through that trouble for an online poll. Proxies still have an IP.

Its not hard if you are good at computers. If online polls meant anything then why did the candidate who dominated these very same online polls go nowhere in the 08 nomination??

That was then, this is now.

After the lies Obama made, 2010 mid terms were a sign of things to come.

The progressives pulled off the masks and threw down their ACE, too soon.

So the very same online polls that showed Paul ahead in 2007 were meaningless, but all of a sudden they mean something now??

Votes do not determine election winners.

Those counting the votes do.

Actually people do go through that much trouble for an online poll for the same reason people go through so much trouble to make sure Paul wins straw polls which have no meaning.

Yes but I can submit 500,000 votes for something through 500,000 different proxy IP's. Dont think that would change the outcome of an online poll?
