So, the national telephone polls don't accurately represent Ron Paul's support because he has a lot of supporters who won't be called...

We've gone over this several times. It's not true, and any polling organization worth it's salt has accounted for them.

NO you've asserted this a few times and your still wrong.

Because it may prove selection bias.

LOL, strawpollaments.

This would be the same event that Alan Keyes won in 1999. When you think about it, Alan Keyes is a good comparison for Ron Paul.

These straw polls are fundraisers. The Iowa straw poll is a huge newsmaker because most candidates treat it seriously. Other straw polls are not important because the candidates don't.

Keyes (only one of two) attended the event while Paul didn't but garnered 50 or so more percent but no matter what happens some of the Dr. Paul haters will dismiss it.
Paul's support is smaller but much more fervent than the current 'front runners'.
