An AOL straw poll that is supposed to be spam proof shows both Hillary Clinton and Ron Paul winning their respective primaries. The poll records national as well as state-by-state results. At the time of this report over 57,000 Republicans and 56,000 Democrats have voted in the poll.
On the Democratic side the results somewhat mirrored media generated polls. Nationally Clinton has 46%, Barack Obama 27%, John Edwards 17%, Biden 4%, Kucinich 3%, Richardson 2%, Gravel 1%, and Dodd 1%.
Clinton leads in most states but Obama leads in Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, and Wyoming.
In Iowa the race is tight where Obama leads with 31% followed by Clinton with 30%and Edwards with 24%.
In New Hampshire, Clinton has 46%, Obama 26%, and Edwards has 15%.
On the Republican side the results mirrored media generated polls with one exception. Ron Paul is placing first in most states and second in several others.
The results of the other candidates did mirror media generated polls. Giuliani is winning in New York and New Jersey and Connecticut but is being edged out by Paul in Florida and New Mexico. Florida and New Mexico have changed hands several times between Giuliani and Paul.
Romney is winning Utah, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts.
Huckabee is edging out Paul in South Carolina and is being edged out by Paul in several southern states. Several southern states are virtual ties and have swung back and forth between Huckabee and Paul, including North Carolina, Alabama, and Arkansas.
Nationwide Ron Paul is generating 26% of the vote, Giuliani is getting 18%, Huckabee 17%, and Romney is getting 15%, McCain has 14%, Thompson 9%, and Duncan Hunter has 1%.
In Iowa Ron Paul has 38% of the vote. The rest of the GOP candidates mirror media generated polls regarding strength in the state. Huckabee and Romney are tied at 19%. Thompson has 9%, McCain 7%, and Giuliani 7%, with Hunter at 1%.
In New Hampshire Paul has 30% Romney 23% McCain 20%, Giuliani 15%, Huckabee 8%, Thompson 3%, and Hunter 1%. Once again, aside from Paul the candidates mirror media polls regarding strength nationally and regionally.
Paul supporters have maintained that media generated polls have been under representing his support. Paul leads GOP candidates in 4rth quarter fund raising. He has received donations from an astounding 123,000 donors this quarter.

Ron Paul surging in Iowa, brings in volunteer army

Published 12/26/2007 - 3:48 p.m. EST
Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul is surging in Iowa according to sources on the ground despite spending little time in the state until recently. Paul, now the top Republican fund raiser raising over 18.7 million from over 128,000 people this quarter, could disable Giuliani, McCain, and Thompson should he finish third.
Iowa is not supposed to be one of Paul’s stronger states. A strong finish in the state will indicate that his nationwide support is very broad. Paul doesn’t have the organization that Romney or Huckabee might have after spending so much time in the state but there are indications that people may be organizing on their own to support Paul’s ideals.
Paul is also bringing in a volunteer army to make a last minute push. Ron Paul will address more than 250 college students who have volunteered their Christmas vacations to the campaign.
Dr. Paul will speak at 8:00 pm on Thursday December 27 at the Des Moines Marriott in the Des Moines Room. He will be available to the press directly afterward in the Waterloo Room.
The students have come from 39 states and four countries to spend their time off phoning Iowa voters, canvassing and distributing literature as part of “Ron Paul’s Christmas Vacation.”
An indirect indication of Ron Paul’s increase in support nationwide has been the recent orchestration of a massive smear campaign by some corporate media outlets and their highly paid pundits. Apparently they don’t believe their own polls and perceive Paul as a threat.
Although Paul has ruled out a third party run saying that he is 99.9 percent sure he wouldn’t run as a third party candidate some media outlets are saying that he’s left the door open for an independent run. This may also be an indication of Paul’s surge nationwide. Media talk of a third party run seems designed to create the illusion that Paul can’t win the GOP nomination.
Also, a third party run would allow media conglomerates to censor Paul like they did Buchanan in 2000. If Paul starts winning Republican primaries corporate controlled media outlets will only be able to attack him they will not be able to censor him like they could if he ran as an independent.
Paul’s message of protecting civil liberties, ending the Iraq war, eliminating federal income taxes, border security, and reforming the monetary system seems to be attracting broad support

Paul would remove America from War
Many years ago President Ronald Reagan said Ron Paul was one of the outstanding leaders of our country, fighting for a stronger national defense.
As a former Air Force officer, he knew well the needs of our armed forces, and he had always put them first. Today, as Paul serves his 10th term in the U.S. House, his feelings have not changed one bit. However, he is totally against our involvement in Iraq because it is a no-win situation costing us thousands of lives for a war that is basically unconstitutional, because it is being fought without a declaration of war voted upon by the Congress.
Currently, as a Republican candidate running for president of the United States, Paul acknowledges the American people have spoken against the war as well. When asked how we end it, Paul says, "Why not exactly the way we began it? We just marched in, and now we can just march out."
Republican candidate for president, Paul, always has believed our founding fathers had it right when they argued for peace and commerce between nations and against entangling political and military alliances. Log on to acaseforronpaul.com and discover how Paul is our only hope for America in the 2008 presidential election. Discover his consistent voting record, his ideas on limiting governmental interference in private lives, his belief decisions with regard to our nation should be based on the U.S. Constitution, and why he was voted the taxpayers' best friend.
These and many other issues pertinent to the future of our country are on line for you to view and perhaps be a part of Paul's Hope for America Campaign.
