Barely enough to buy a bus ticket.

I don't care enough to look because I don't see your point.

That internet and fanboy hype doesn't translate into real world results.

Ron Paul raked in 19.5 million this quarter, more than any of the other candidates I believe.
|
He also had the largest single day for donations in history. Want to know why? Because all his supporters didn't donate the rest of the year and saved it all up for the last push so he could grab a headline before the primaries. Look at his overall performance compared with the other candidates. Even with the big fourth quarter and the one big day, he hardly registers.

Unlike "Snakes on a Plane", his followers seem to be following through, at least with donations.

For one freakin day.

One can only expect they'll come through with votes too. Will this mean he's going to win anything? I highly doubt it.

No, you can't expect them to come through with votes. Howard Dean tried the same strategy and got destroyed. If anything, Paul is going to suffer from those disillusioned by Dean's embarrassment.

He has been excluded from the January 6th forum on FOX, and chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party issued a press release calling on them not to limit debate participants.
He's polling higher than Thompson who was invited to the FOX debate/forum. I don't really understand what is the ultimate poll to source for this since there are so many, so I guess this point is debatable.

There is no debate. They were in the process of inviting the candidates and were going to invite RP but there were too many scheduling conflicts. Paul himself was already committed to an event that day. The debate was called off before all the invites had been sent out.
Did you perhaps look that up on any site but a Ron Paul fansite? It would help to actually have some facts. This story was debunked almost immediately.

Anyway, I don't really give a shit personally. I think his fans are a bit nuts, but it's nice to see a grassroots movement like this. I wish it were backing Kucinich myself.

The UFO guy? Honestly, outside of lots of pictures of his way too hot for him wife, I see no reason to vote for him.
