ahem.... Ron Paul Forums called it long ago, just remember....
I hope you are right, but AFTER they are elected is when the pressure to conform becomes tough to resist. It isn't just the negative pressure but the goodies of appointments where you are tempted to get a bigger platform from which to 'do good'.
All the same, I'm thrilled they have done so well.
I think some threads got merged, and I just finished dinner so I've been AFK for a bit, but how is Bob doing? I was a fan of his back when I lived in MO-8 and hope he beats Emerson, but I have a nagging feeling he won't.![]()
down by 66 to 33 or so. Not a contest. And yes it was a bad thread merge as the official results thread contained both MO and MI results now it is a primarily MI results thread with nowhere for the MO results to go.
from DailyPaul:
Ron Paul supporter Robyn Hamlin leading in MO Congressional Dist 1 with 60% of vote - Update: 60% Reporting
ok so was this the candidate for Senate in MN Ron Paul people helped nominate?
NO this is the one for Congress in MI that we have been pushing. He was a delegate for Ron, and Ron endorsed him. So have Rand and Amash.
I just tweeted this. Does anyone have Kerry's twitter acct? For some reason I seem to have automatically unfollowed him. Twitter unfollows Ron all the time from my acct so I guess it just happens sometimes:

No, this was the Ron Paul guy that just happened to be on the ballot as a long shot when Rep. McCotter was caught using fake signatures for his ballot access and was disqualified. when we will this seat, it will be by just being there at the right time and loads of luck.
