Is Ron Paul the only candidate people take the time to post exclusive clips of in the debate? Or do people upload perry clips from debate or Romney clips?
If not, it should become obvious that the people support Ron Paul, and no other candidate has even close to the support. Which leads me to the only logical conclusion...the gallup polls and voting machines are being rigged.
1) I don't doubt there are polls that are rigged, but for the most part, you can tell it's the reporting that's rigged. As you can see below, and plenty of other places:
The polls seem to reflect accurate numbers...they just don't want anyone to see them. That's why you see polls disappearing, as you showed, and like you can see in the first link here.
2) Yes, Ron Paul has an undeniable Internet presence. Unquestionably more than any other candidate. Unquestionably more enthusiastic supporters than all others combined. But this does not mean the polls are rigged. Mainstream opinion is still largely mainstream. It's easy to forget how clueless the public actually is when you're surrounded by the likes of LRC and the Mises Forum, etc. But just go to a random forum and talk to random adults. Go to a fishing forum and find a "general" category where they talk about politics and find out how many people even know much about Ron Paul and will tell you anything more than "he's a crazy kooky isolationist." Go to a liberal forum and hear the same thing. Or even worse, hear that Obama is still the messiah. (It's easy to forget 40% of the country still thinks so. That's a huge number.)
People really don't have time to learn anything and be educated. They're too busy working and raising kids, and they have no interest in studying things they think they'll never understand anyway, let alone affect.
This is not to say Ron Paul doesn't have an enormous following. He's polling in double digits in most polls by now. It's growing. But you have to realize the Internet presence is definitely scewed. Dominating Youtube is not the same as dominating the country...
