4th is not a success if we still finish below 10%

[AggieforPaul]

Yes, our place may be higher, but our support is still waning. We had 10% in Iowa, then 8 in NH, and now we're down to 6. This is NOT progress.

 

[pengieh]

Different voters and different issues in each state.

Why do you think Huckabee won Iowa, McCain New Hampshire, and Romney Wyoming?

 

[PimpBlimp]

Don't jump the gun, only 1.44% reporting in

 

[Xonox]

Stop. We'll worry about what to do next once this is over.

 

[noztnac]

We have a long way to go.

 

[Brian Bailey]

This is the Perot Effect. People agree with him, they just don't think he can win.

This isn't over by a long shot, but it's still a little frustrating.

 

[steve254]

Dont fight the tape (or the trend). At this point, I'd be suprised if RP breaks 8%

 

[steph3n]

I am not surprised really, no campaigning done at all, 7% will be great

 

[anewvoice]

this is the same thing as the GOP vs DEM lesser of 2 evils. Nobody votes 3rd party because the opponent is so evil that I must vote for my less evil option. We're just seeing it within the GOP primary.

Yuck!

I just cant for the LIFE of me figure out how people vote so much for Huckabee...I mean I wont even say what I think about him because Im not here to be nagative, but wow...just wow.

 

[ProfNo]

We have a long way to go.

Agreed, but the percentages have not changed at all for Paul yet. I would really like to see him bump up to 10%

 

[smtwngrl]

With such low turnout, it should be higher than that.

 

[FluffyUnbound]

The pattern that establishes early will hold true throughout the evening. Has anything ever moved more than a tiny fraction after the early results in any other state?

6% sucks. Period.

I thought I had ratcheted my expectations down far enough, but now I see I was mistaken. The voting public's capacity to suck always finds a way to overachieve.

 

[smtwngrl]

6% sucks. Period.

Totally. I hope that changes.

Perot was leading in the polls before he dropped out.

 

[Grantismo]

I'm from Oakland County, and our meetup group alone has around 120 people, so don't be completely disappointed. The areas which are currently reporting are the most hard core towthepartyline-Republicans. Although the Wayne number is far too low right now to be accurate for the long run. We have around 10,000 hardcore supporters and we've branched out to the middle eastern community (every single gas station I pass has a huge Ron Paul sign), the gun community, the evangelical community, the auto workers. Please be patient and await the results.

What is strange is that the percentages for other candidates have changed, but not for us

I agree. IMO Huckabee voters have to be the stupidest people on the planet. Surely they haven't looked up anything on where he stands.

TWO PERCENT PEOPLE

2%

lets complain at 82%

 

[Dave Pedersen]

Billboards and political cartoons can get people interested quickly.. we have 20 days to change Super Tuesday. Interest promotes discussion. Discussion promotes credibility.
