No, will be reported earlier. Clark Co. (Las Vegas) will be reported last, around 9PM CST

Thanks, though that is less promising.

Just said they will cover Ron live speaking in MN soon.

Yes, I posted a thread about it. Early results will be more promising than our finish, most likely.

Does everyone not caucus at the same time? Don't some people caucus in a few hours - doesn't this influence results?

 

[matt0611]

is there a website where we can see these results?

 

[Bruno]

Yes, I posted a thread about it. Early results will be more promising than our finish, most likely.

In my optimism, I got it totally backwards.

Just showed Ron Paul gets 45% of the vote of those looking for a true conservative. Impressive and encouraging!

We've been watching them for most of the afternoon here:

This isn't the same as mentioned in the op, but the same results so far.

 

[Johncjackson]

Someone in the media reported earlier that none of the rural areas had been counted and they come in later, favorable to Paul. So if it's really the opposite of that, the confusion is all around.

why are we pumped about second place? we need to win somewhere at some point...I mean seriously they aren't taking RP serious obviously....we have to win for anything good to come about...2nd and 3rd place means nothing

Once we prove how irrelevant Santorum and Gingrich are, we make it Paul vs. Romney then it's game over... but we are winning where it matters most - delegates.

Did you think we were going to come in 1st despite all the recent polls?

Excited because 2nd is better than 3rd and 4th, which would be higher than Newt and Santorum.

 

[Student Of Paulism]

I agree 3rd place sucks and makes it about only beating Sandorkum. But 2nd is a big difference for public perception and hurts Newt a lot. For now, 2nd is a big.

 

[Vet_from_cali]

cmon Paul, get 2nd!!!!

 

[pacelli]

Gingrich just beat out Paul. Paul in 3rd.

 

[pauliticalfan]

That was lame. CNN selected 2 precincts to get the closest result possible.
