Here's his post debate interview:

Ron Paul supporters are yet another group who feel it's necessary to storm every poll and survey to make it look like he has huge amounts of support. Groups like that engaging in asymmetrical promotion of poll candidates are what renders these polls invalid. I'm not sure exactly what they think they'll accomplish by inflating their candidate's numbers in irrelevant polls, but they do it.
On another note, libertarian and Libertarian Party candidates have a tendency to attract the widest possible range of single-issue voters. Put the anti-drug-war, anti-war, anti-tax, pro-gun, anti-immigration, and all the other pro- or anti-whatever voters in a room together and see if they get along. Then ask them who they actually voted for and most will have voted for someone "who has a chance and is beter than the other guy."
