Internet polls, straw polls, and text message polls don't mean jack sh!t so no. As far as real polls go the most I've ever seen him at is 2%.

You do realize what a "straw poll" is, right?

Yes. The mainstream media is just mind-bogglingly awful across the board.

Somehow, the mainstream media breaks the primary candidates into tiers. So, why isn't Ron Paul considered first-tier? Because Americans have never heard of him. Why have Americans never heard of him? Because the media ignores non first-tier candidates, and thus creates a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Hmmm, you probably haven't driven on 494 lately. Because anyone who saw those overpass bridges the last time I did knows who he is (and that apparently he has some "Revolution"). And that's not the only bridges I've seen those signs on.

Paul is also the ONLY candidate I have yet to see lawn signs for.

I live in a very very liberal neighborhood (the joke is that the democrats hold their primary is the school gymnasium while the republicans use the attached closet), and I don't drive much. So, I haven't seen any lawn signs or overpass signs.

Hmmm, well the one sign I saw (which is still one more than any other candidate) was also in a very liberal (and rundown and poor) neighborhood. Whoever was renting that house couldn't be making more than $20,000 a year (or else he's VERY cheap)
