DC best primary so far!

[Bradley in DC]

Kudos to my friends here in DC. We should have done a lot better, but we still top the list of primary states for Dr. Paul!

In DC according to the unofficial returns so far (three precincts, provisional ballots and possibly overseas absentee outstanding), Dr. Paul won 8.12% of the primary vote.

The previous record was set by NH, where we won only 7.8% of the vote.

Throwing down the gauntlet here to you coming primary states! This is a record I DON'T want to hold for long!

And yes, for these purposes, we count as a "state" under RNC by-law Rule 27.

How the hell are people being allowed to vote for Giuliani and Romney when they are not in the race!!

I'm not sure about Giuliani, but Romney only suspended his campaign. Meaning he just stops going places and advertising, but I would assume his name will remain on the ballots.

The filed a slate of delegate candidates and the required ballot petitions to get on the ballot the same as the rest of us. At the voting booths however, they had sheets up with the name of Giuliani "withdrawn" and Romney "suspended campaign" to inform voters. I'm not sure when the ballots were printed, but we had the publication of the "sample ballot" legally quite some time ago (end December off the top of my head).

my question is; did you guys vote for huckleberry?

cuz i guess those guys over in Texas are voting smart for the huckster.

I was just curious, how you could get 8.12% for Paul and still vote for the Huckster?

Do we attribute better showing in the caucuses to the lack of involvement of the other candidates supporters. That being because a caucus could take several hours?

Or is it some other reason?

God job Bradley!

Caucuses take a lot more work and dedication and organizational ability (from what I understand, never had the pleasure first-hand). I think it shows that the Paul supporters are statistically more dedicated than the supporters of the other candidates (for a simplistic gross generalization).

(and I think you meant, "good" job )

Hey, Bradley - bet you a beer that Texas takes DC down.
