This is wrong. You can get a decent sample with around 700 people. Really good samples start at around 1,000.

Regardless of if your a Ron Paul supporter or not, don't let polls TELL you who to vote for.

Agree completely.

EDIT: I do think the sampling methodologies underestimate Ron Paul's support, though not by nearly as much as his supporters think.

I disagree with the consensus on ron paul. Like was mentioned about the polling flaws. I'm not getting a call for any poll, But I did register to vote for the first time ever. This year will be the first year that I feel so inclined to vote and its because of ron paul!
I sit here and wonder??? After all the hub bub in the last few elections about the young people's vote(Rockthevote,mtv,others), Am I the only one who started researching my politics then?? I may not have voted during those promotions but they did convince me to start researching what "I" wanted in a president. Now after much consideration, I know what I want and I will vote to try and get it.
How many others have been pushed in just the recent years?? There is civil unrest going on right now. Expect the unexpected from Americans when we feel miffed. I can't fathom why there have been no riots, We have been repeatedly lied to and mis-informed.
VOTE RON PAUL!!!!

Good question: Why haven't we been in the streets, not necessarily rioting, but demonstrating peacefully against the tyranny and fascism. America and her citizenry is being sold down-the-river and too many folks seem apathetic. Well, that's what this R3VOLution is about! Some of us are trying to be heard, but at the same time, the treasonous establishment that is ruining our country, it is attempting to stifle the freedom message. But the treasonous msm (lame-stream media) and politicos cannot subdue us anymore. We are AWAKE!

Also take note:
Withholding taxes was supposed to be our first option in protesting silently. Its in our constitution. The founding fathers were sure that unless we could with-hold the taxes, our complaints would fall on deaf ears. But the IRS has already stripped us of that option, Taking taxes before you get your check, penalizing you if you don't pay.
Our constitution is being pissed on by every arm of gov.

yes it is, and it's so sad for me to know how our government was intended to work compared to how it actually is operating..The federal government trumping all over state laws is close to one of the most sickening to me though..

Need to organize!

except any attempt to organize would be seen as a "cell" and subject to the wrath of the "patriot act", Arrests without warrants, jailtime with no trial, And who knows what untold torture in some secret prison.
Unfortunately once into law, any objection is terrorism. A criminal act and subject to punishment.

sorry, i just saw this and i know it's from a long time ago but i thought i would just say that you don't have to register anything in indiana. it's an open primary... you can vote for whomever you want.
