I think we all understand that national metrics for Ron Paul are not of much use at this stage. If he does well in New Hampshire, who knows?

If another candidate had the extensive devotion Ron Paul enjoys, I wouldn't hesitate to use the same words. I attempt in my posts to describe our political metrics and findings in a clear yet interesting fashion, while remaining non-partisan (though i certainly have a favorite). Further, I include all of the data so that readers can draw their own conclusions. Thanks for reading. @ Westmiller:

Fanatical: “marked by excessive enthusiasm and often intense uncritical devotion”

Zealous: “filled with or characterized by zeal; marked by fervent partisanship for a person, a cause, or an ideal”

Over 56,000 people contributed an average of $108 to the Paul campaign on December 16th. On what criteria is that "fanatical"? If it happened to Romney or Hillary, would it still be called "fanatical"? Not likely. The word "zealous" may seem less snide, but it implies doctrinary or religious jeolousy, which is certainly a malicious characterization. It it really that difficult to stick with the facts?
