Did anyone else notice that the latest poll on CBS's politics page only adds up to 77%? Rediculous.

See the full poll results: http://www.cbsnews.com/htdocs/pdf/jan08c-republicans.pdf

For example, his stats are detailed on page 8.

Paul has 5% of the votes in the CBS poll.

Not to rain on your parade

but if you follow the links you can see Dr. Paul got 5%. The rest are undecided. This is consistent with other recent national polls.

This is just a reminder for us that the media respect poll numbers, not number of meetup groups.

Thanks

LOL. unfreakinbelievable. Makes you wonder who got the other 23%. Probably that "other" person we've been hearing so much about.

Actually, that "undecided" person

Read it -- RP got 5%, "undecided" got 13%.

Blame the voters, not the poll.

Blame the voters?

I blame "us". "Our" campaign is not presenting a solid, consistent message to voters, a message they can roll around in their minds and latch onto. Our message is complex, unlike any other campaign's message, and we are not moving with the trends of this campaign. Let me explain... our message is always consistently about the Constitution, BUT we can parse our message to fit the 'concerns' of the moment with voters. In case you haven't noticed, voters are now most concerned about the economy, they have less invested in the war. Our message needs to address this change in direction, irrational as it may seem. Again, the Constitution provides us all of the answers, we just need to customize it to fit perceptions on a near daily basis. I can only guarantee that voters so-called "concerns" will continue to change throughout this campaign.
