The RonTardians are out in force with their auto-voting macros. Usually good to just ignore them and look at the next ones down the list.
Gingrich or Cain did the best in the debate. Like you say, just ignore Paul in any unscientific poll. His results are worthless background noise.
I think criticism of the “Paultards” is a bit rich coming from FreeRepublic. After all it was here that we created the idea of “Freeping” polls.
I remember many posts where Freepers reported great success in moving a poll, often by multiple votes.
