Ron Paul’s meetup group numbers are… well insane. This means that Ron Paul has at least 40,000 people who are actively campaigning for him. These meetup members are not paid, and the groups are self financed. It is incredible the support this man has on the ground. Barack Obama can’t touch that. Barack has only a little more than 5,800 meetup members. Ron Paul has 838 meetup groups, while Barack Obama only has an obismal 67. That number is only a little ahead of the number of groups that “Draft Al Gore” has. (63)

Ron Paul 40,000 Vs. Everybody else 16,127 (all candidates running for president in 2008 on the candidate 2008 page at meetup.com)
