Dan, STFU. Generally snarky comments and little to no contribution.

Poll linked from that blog has Paul with 69% for "Who would you support today" out of 3,400 votes haha

Wow, terrible turnout. 23,000 votes were cast 8 years ago so it dropped off a lot. I think I was the closest with my predictions. Looks like we'll see Tommy Thompson drop out tomorrow and possibly Duncan Hunter as well. Huckabee, Brownback, Tancredo, and Paul will stay a while longer it looks like.

gg Thompson, was looking forward to you eliminating cancer.
gg Hunter at least you beat John Cox.

I think 9% is close enough [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I won't speak for the other Paul supporters here, but I think that 9% is quite respectable. I believe he only spent a week in Iowa. Anyhow, it's obvious (to me) that his internet support is real and some of thenm are actually willing to spend $35 to vote for him. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

"some of them" = 12% of them (based on the above and assuming no bias in Ames voters vs general net users) and thats good?

I would interpret as him not having a chance to parlay that niche group into any sort of respectable showing. If Giuliani had participated I think the turnout would have been much better and doubt Paul would have broken 5%

Maybe Romney will outlaw cancer too.
