- Speaking of credibility, Paul is back in the storied Pajamas Media poll, having hit 1 percent again in Gallup's survey. But it doesn't really matter anymore, as the fussing and rule-writing and hand-wringing by PJM drove away all interest in the poll. The first week (before Ron Paul was even added), 19,539 people voted in the poll. The last week (Feb 19-26) that Paul was included, when he won the GOP poll, 9360 people voted. When Paul was purged, the votes fell to 7393. Last week, as the oddball Gallupcentric rules included Al Sharpton (who got second place!) and George Pataki but excluded Paul, a rock-bottom 3135 people voted in the poll.

It was all a very weird, very unneccessary lesson in how trying to control an online community eventually brings on extinction, or at least dwindling popularity.

they also point out that Ron Paul's website has been re-launched. Looks pretty good.
