Fox News Is Incompetent; Ron Paul's Online Success Is Not the Result of SpammersPublished May 28, 2007 We all saw the second Republican debate on Fox News Channel May 15, 2007 and are fully aware of the interchange that Giuliani and Paul had regarding the 9/11 attacks. Afterwards, Fox News had a text message poll in which Ron Paul was leading at the beginning.Instead of discussing how Ron Paul's views were resonating well with those that watched the debate, they claimed that this was not important because the Paul supporters somehow mysteriously banded together and all voted. We are an impartial web site so we cannot officially tell you how idiotic that statement was but let's look at the facts. Ron Paul is supposedly getting only 1% of the national vote. For him to get 26% of the people state that he won the debate means that the people voting for him were voting in 25 times larger proportion than their true support. What Fox should have explained was that Ron Paul's message resonated well with Democrats who would have exclusively voted for Paul. They should have also explained how Paul's supporters are younger who are more likely to vote. Instead, they insinuated that the Paul supporters were spamming. We ran a straw poll yesterday and Ron Paul won with 91% of the vote. We estimated that only about 12% of all the visitors to our website even voted in the straw poll to begin with but we found the distribution of the voters to be very diverse which proves that it is not the result of spammers. Something else the news channels are reporting is that the supporters of Ron Paul online are set in stone and that the campaign will not grow in support. And this means that as more of the electorate goes online interested in the campaigns, Ron Paul's online support would dwindle in comparison.
