The establishment media’s relentless campaign to denigrate Congressman Ron Paul’s presidential campaign has manifested itself once again, after a poll showing Paul had won last night’s Orlando debate was pulled by Fox News who later published an article claiming Mitt Romney had instead claimed the victory.

Another one of these? Really?
Once again, it would be news if Ron Paul didn't win an online poll. It's what he does. It's also why it doesn't get reported on. Everyone knows it's a sham. Thousands of Ron Paul fans sitting back forwarding emails letting other of the latest polls they need to spam. Great organization, but it doesn't translate into results when it comes to State Primaries.

There is another poll on the Fox News main page that still shows Ron Paul way ahead. I am sick of how every single one of these news agencies just lies about the results when it clearly shows who was voted the winner. To others that complain about Ron Paul supporters coming out and voting for him, what is stopping the other contenders from having their supporters do the same? Maybe they just really don't have any, or nearly as many?

Just because Ron Paul supporters act like donkeys and rush to spam a poll does not mean the supporters of other candidates have to act like donkeys, too. That's what we have going on here. Everyone seems to know this EXCEPT Ron Paul supporters, who seem to believe if they spam a poll, then that means Ron Paul is REALLY ahead. He isn't, of course. Any poll that takes a realistic sample shows Paul from 8-12%. If you want a realistic view of where Ron Paul stands, click here. If you want to remain delusional, just keep believing Ron Paul is the front runner, then complain bitterly when he loses--again.

Come on guys.
The same thing happened JUST 4 years ago.
We all know how that turned out.
What has changed? Ron Paul has a very limited but loyal following of anti-war kooks, and pot heads. This does not translate into results when it comes to a Republican Primary.
We are not talking ancient history here....simply look back 4 years and you can make predictions from that.

If one uses the results from the 5 Straw Polls (not internet), Ron Paul is the frontrunner:
If we take all 5 Straw Polls and combine the totals, we can view a glimpse of the national picture. Awarding a first place finish 5 points through a fifth place finish of 1 point, we get the cumulative totals below from all five official Straw Polls thus far:
Ron Paul – 22 ranking points = 4.4 average finish
Rick Perry – 15 ranking points = 3.0 avg finish
Mitt Romney – 11 ranking points = 2.2 avg finish
Herman Cain – 7 ranking points = 1.4 avg finish
Michele Bachmann – 7 ranking points = 1.4 avg finish
Again, the above ranking includes the results of all 5 state Straw Polls officially held and recognized by each respective state party (IA, NH, GA, WI, CA).

Glad you brought up another Ron Paul strong suit!
Problem is the straw polls are being ambushed by Paul supporters just like the online polls. If straw polls were so important why was the Texas straw poll cancelled? Seems like Paul puts heavy emphasis on online and straw polls but doesn't have a plan when it comes to votes the actually count, the actual state primaries.
