WA is a blue state that was turning purple just a few years ago, we got so close to electing a Republican governor last time you could fit the margin in a schoolbus. The right candidate could have carried WA prior to the Bush administration. The turnout today is indicative of a major shift...

In my precinct McCain got 2, Huck 2, Paul 1 and four alternates are Paul supporters. The PCO is also a McCain supporter. It was kind of screwed up because the PCO wasted a lot of time and then suddenly got in a hurry and the whole process was extremely rushed.

I feel left out, no call from Ron. I did get a call from a real live person from the campaign, and three calls from various meetup people, and a robo push poll call from McCain.

There seem to be a lot of people freaking out over the behavior of the conservative punditry lately. I think it's a lot simpler than most of you think it is. Rush is plenty rich already. They know we can't win. These are the most politically aware people in the country, they're plugged into joe...

Fire away, expert sounds a bit pretentious now it's bouncing back at me, but I have studied those subjects for decades...

I'm something of an expert on alternative housing, energy and agriculture, a member of the Log Home Builders Association of North America, and a former (small time) contractor and developer. I'd love to get involved in a project like that. Liberty, Alaska. pop. Paulites.

Seccession might be a little ambitious as an initial goal, but I think you're on to something here. The free state project initially considered Alaska as a potential choice of state, and I was one of many who voted for it. I believe very strongly they made a fatal mistake by choosing NH instead.

Come on people, try to think strategically. Ron has no intention of running third party, that's what he keeps saying and that's what he means. He also refuses to rule a third party run out. He's got the GOP by the short hairs and everybody knows it, the establishment is terrified of an...

It was an excellent question. McCain had just claimed to know about the economy, Ron asks him a basic economic question while at the same time bringing our interventionist policy regarding market volatility to the attention of millions of people. McCain looked like a fool, Rons credentials on...

We also need to win five states if a brokered convention is going to lead to a RP nomination, so it's a bit of a balancing act. I think recent events, Hunter and especially Thompson dropping out, Huck falling apart and running out of money, a strong showing in NV and now the strong possibility...

Approximately 28% of Republicans don't know Colbert is making fun of them and think he's great. Approximately 28% of Republicans also still approve of W. I don't think that's a coincidence.

It's be tough to beat the '87 crash for a one-day event, it takes longer now because there are more controls on the market. Worst in 20 years is possible.

If we can't get 12-15K people to show up and caucus in Nevada I don't see us going anywhere else. We should be going all out to win this state, it's one of our best chances and the only one left that's early enough to matter. If we've got a win somewhere we can deliver WA state and I'm sure...

A lot of folks are waking up to the fact that the status quo is coming to an end, unfortunately very few truly understand what that means. When TPTB decide to let it all unwind, it will be at the most advantageous moment for THEM, economically, politically, psychologically. Some animals are...

I used to think that way too, but it's grown on me. The Love/revolution means many things to many people but to me it means "one last shot at the ballot box".
