FACT: Ron Paul took first in The Stanford Daily exit polling amongst Stanford Republicans. The Stanford Daily columnists have consistently bashed Ron Paul and have resorted to comments like he is "insane”. I find it interesting that after your own exit polling results about Ron Paul, that The Stanford Daily has little to say about it.

A week ago, from Super Tuesday, Bush promised that he would not bail out rogue bankers and investment institutions, so what is the leading news headline? Hurricanes are in several midland American states: there go the billions! If there is anyone who would like to learn how rogue bankers and loan sharks were able to play the latest stock market investment instrument without making so much as a red
cent while they raised everyone's intrest rates, and then foreclosed on their homes the please provide me a LSASE to:

Hillary or McCain are both war puppets for the past - Dr. Paul is the one.

If you want someone to takes this country in a new direction,Ron Paul is the only candidate to advocate returning to a constitutional republic. By reading Bobby's coment,my worst fears are confirmed. Our dumbing down of America brings us to Bobby syndrome. Too ignorant to investigate,can only parrot.

re- “It’s easy to cling to Obama’s messages and the slogans he uses, but I think when you look beyond all that, when you look to [Hillary’s] policies and his policies, particularly on the economy and healthcare, you realize that it takes more than hope to make change.”
I agree and disagree.
First- I do agree that Sen. Obama's messages of hope, unity, and an end of bitterly divisive politics is, INDEED, easy to cling to. Why wouldn't it be?
Second- I disagree that Sen. Clinton's policy positions are somehow superior to Sen. Obama's.
Lastly, I think what the results of Stanford's campus and the MAJORITY of Super Tuesday's states shows is that Obama's message is one that can unite Americans behind a common purpose and vision. When voters are informed (about both candidates) and not just going on name recognition, when voters understand that the policy goals of Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton are truly miniscule, when they look at Sen. Obama's consistent and sound judgment on the most pressing international issue of our time: Iraq, they come to agree that Sen. Obama is running a campaign about the future of our nation.
There's nothing false about hope.
Cheers!

I think it's really funny how Clinton gets damn near a ten point lead in California and yet everyone talks about how close it is, and then she goes on to win in the major states and this is not victory.
But Obama wins the "majority" of the states. Yet doesn't have the majority of delegates
The media needs to stop spinning things on both sides. Its getting ridiculous.
Also I think its really sad how the entire election has turned into a division based on identity. I really like Obama, but I don't think he should be president right now, and I am getting crucified by his supporters. We all need to stop dividing up the democratic party and promising to not vote if whichever candidate wins.
McCain's policies are pretty far from the right, and if he wins the nomination (and he will) both Clinton and Obama are going to have a difficult time appealing to various groups over McCain. The average American voter is moderate not super progressive. This is going to be a tough battle for who ever wins, so I really wish we'd all stop mudsligging.
Also, I want to point out that Hilary won the majority of working class voters. Stanford is an elitist campus out of touch with the issues that affect "lunch pail democrats"
The vote for Ron Paul on this campus proves that. And unless Obama supporters want to be compared with Ron Paul supporters (who took what 6% nationally?) I suggest they realize that this campus is not representative of the rest of this country.
Before the Ron Paul supporters jump on me, I just want to say that i like the guy, he's honest. I am just pointing out that the rest of the country is not impressed by him.

Booby, I mean Booby - this response is merely ersatz and, alas, sophomoric. Ron Paul won the poll, so stop driveling.

Ron Paul folks, you do realize that him winning a poll among Stanford Republicans means he's supported by like, 11 people, maybe? Can anyone say sample size?

Report as: spam offensive Tom on 2/07/08 at 12am

They polled 44 Stanford Republicans, 20 of which (46%) supported Ron Paul.

Thank you "nobody in particular". This article is a joke. It should never have been on the front page and Mr. Parker (the author) should be forced to take, pass, and understand a basic stats class. Even *if* the "exit poll" was done in any scientifically valid way, the sample size is so small as to make any "conclusions" based on the "poll" laughable. Come on.
