Clearly, Spamming Online Polls Doesn’t Translate To Real Victories
I’ve had my fair share of experience with Ron Paul’s determined supporters. It was clear many many months ago that Pauliacs (perhaps even Ron Paul’s campaign itself) had the strategy of giving the appearance of huge internet/grassroots support for his campaign by flooding online polls with votes and spamming. In regards to their coordinate spamming efforts, I asked back in May, “[W]hat good are phony results? Isn’t it more valuable to see what the true temperature of the American people or the conservative blogosphere is? Wouldn’t Paul supporters rather know a more accurate reflection of Paul’s support and use the data from the [GOP Bloggers] straw poll to assess how best to increase that support?”
Perhaps they should have listened to my advice… Between Iowa, New Hampshire and Michigan, Ron Paul hasn’t won a single caucus or primary. I thought myself he’d do better in New Hampshire than he actually did, but clearly the strategy of giving a false impression of Paul’s online support hasn’t made him a contender when it comes to his performance in an actual election.
Pauliacs need to learn that real voters will determine this election… not phony online spammers.
