Drudge is followed by a lot of political types, especially people in washington. Those people are the regulars and so the initial poll results will reflect their choice. So it appears that Romney is popular among them.
Given time, the poll will be posted in forums and through social networking, causing people to go there to vote for Paul. So his share of the vote will go up. But I think the key takeaway here is what the consensus is among the insiders.
RP is 4% in the lead atm...increasing his lead overy romney. if what you say is true, vacuum, those political types must be pretty damn unhappy right now!

I'm not so sure everyone is anti-Paul, even those within the establishment (excluding the highest levels of course). The thing about any estabishment is that it resists change. So even if people like him, they are compelled to keep the status quo. However, as he gains popular support, they are no longer forced to do this as much.Originally Posted by uranian
135,000 votes in the first hour and RP is 4% in the lead. seems like the internutters know who they want.

It appeared to accept my vote at least six times, so it would appear it can be artificially pumped.
