Worth pointing out that Rand Paul has 2.06 million likes and he's polling at 2.7%.
Yeah, I noticed that after posting (he wasn't on the original list). My guess is that he's attracted a following of libertarian college students who pollsters probably (rightly) don't give much weight. Maybe he's an example of how flawed the metric is, but maybe he'll be surprisingly resilient as the field winnows.

No really, why is it right to not give people like me much credence? Ron Paul made a lot of ground there.
