Florida Exit Polls

[Lord Xar]

On Fox Business News, that asked during the exit polls what were you looking for in a candidate. 45% said that they could beat Obama. 45%!!!!! Seriously. There are some seriously dumb ass people running around if that's all they want in a candidate. No offense to Florida, just to those ignorant 45%.

TRUE, but RON PAUL came in last for "Economy" and "Tea Party" Support.. SO, he is NOT conveying his message clearly in the debates.

Gingrich is so odious a candidate that many potential Santorum and Paul voters probably wanted to send a resounding rejection of the idea of President Gingrich.

I'm really happy that both the Romney and Gingrich campaigns beggared themselves over those 50 delegates.

Hopefully all the dumb dumbs sank all their cash in Florida. Ron Paul didn't bother competing there, so of course he's not doing so well there.

Yet the free advertising to come via media and public perception is priceless. The return on that investment is great for Romney - momentum. We shall see what happens in the next week or two.

So many stupid people live in Florida and South Carolina. It's unreal.

Here's to the patriots that voted for freedom. Your lights shine even brighter in the darkest corners of America.

i am not sad about Ron Paul's ranking in SC or FL. i am not sad at all. from what i have read, we came a long way since 2008. the only thing i am depressed about is the state of the voters these days... voting for who will win and not voting on principle. i am depressed that this once mighty nation has become seduced by the sneaky hands of special interests, lobbyist and corporations.

slowly, but surely.. our message is getting out =s.

I'm bummed... mainly because I thought Ron would at least be at 10% and had a shot at Santorum.
7% sucks.

Only 7% of Floridians care about the Constitution. Good to know.

This is why FL won't Vote for liberty!

It doesn't seem to me like it does any good for Ron Paul supporters to insult the voters who don't support Ron. That really just turns people off. You aren't the first to do this, but I'm just using your post as an example.

Makes us feel better at least.... for a little while. =)
Besides, it *IS* the truth. A vote for anyone but Paul is a vote against the Constitution.

No happy way to say that.

That made me feel sick.

 

[Hyperion]

I knew FL was probably the most difficult state for us, but 7%????

 

[Fredom101]

I have a bad feeling about FL results. Of course we all knew he wouldn't finish top 2. But I'm expecting the worst (last and 6%) and hoping for the best (3rd and 15%).

The Tea Party since 2009 only cares about stopping Sharia Law in America, proving that Obama was born in Africa, and kissing Israel's butt.

The voters are already "turned off"

People wonder why I have such antipathy to a majority of the older folk. That video shows you just a small sampling why.

AMEN. (you forgot the zygote-lovin' queer-stompin' dealie, however)
