Here come the results

[theswedishchef]

why is thompson and hunter listed?

 

[propanes]

Rudy Giuliani is 3rd with around 15%. Did he say he must win Florida?

 

[JimInNY]

the first duty of a revolutionist is to get away with it.

LOL! I love it!

 

[slacker921]

"What is the MSM going to do? Give us less airtime?" You can rest assured he'll get some air time tonight in a negative way.

I suspect we'll be hearing about a "big announcement" from the Rudy campaign tomorrow

It doesn't matter. Each candidate will show the same percentage from .01% counted to 99% counted, give or take 2 or 3%. TV is fantasy land and its meant to entertain the mind.

Correct.

Someone get screen shots all along the way.

We need some analysis of percentage deviation.

This has been fishy everytime so far.

winner takes all- florida is a dirty game anyway you slice it.........

dont even consider this state..........

focus on maine georgia alaska alabama hawaii.....

Yeah... Seriously, why do you guys even sweat this one... Here is make or break for Rudy... Just relax and let the pundits go nuts...

"Each candidate will show the same percentage from .01% counted to 99% counted, give or take 2 or 3%. TV is fantasy land and its meant to entertain the mind." ... you know.. somebody needs to graph how the results track. The ones in NH and SC would probably be straight lines from start to finish like you suggest... which should NOT be the case since results come in from different regions (rural, city) at different times.

 

[Mopsus]

F*&K Fred! How's Jimmy Hoffa doing? repeat after me....winner take all.

Romney is ahead of McCain by a good margin right now (6% at the time of this post) so that is working out for us. Paul himself in the email he sent out the other day said he wasn't trying at all in Florida. It is just one state, and a winner take all one at that. So while all the other candidates spent a lot of effort in Florida, he was busy gathering the troops in the other states. The result tonight might not look pretty, but in terms of his campaign it won't affect much. What is the MSM going to do? Give us less airtime?

+1

I just heard on local talk radio that the Ghoul is now saying he's staying in the race no matter how he places in FloriDUH. I don't think we'll see any more drop out until after Super Tuesday.

Here's hoping Rudy was just posturing about staying in the race. I hope he drops out tomorrow morning before the debate. Doubt it'll happen though.

That's actually good. Rudolph wouldn't be taking any votes away from Paul anyway. He might take some from McCain and Romney, depending on who the public thinks is more of a warmonger.

But, remember, Hunter made an announcement that he was in it to stay, too.

 

[slacker921]

ok.. I see a trend.. here's my prediction.. . "no counties over 4% in the state". And if that happens we can call total BS on that election.

 

[Molly1]

Florida republicans are only getting half of Florida's delegates.

Florida democrats are getting none of Florida's delegates.

 

[pcosmar]

Those folks that are voting for Fred are the same ones that say a vote for Ron Paul is throwing your vote away.

Idiots.

Seems to me I remember something about a recount a few years ago in Florida...

How come McCain is ahead of Romney now?

You'd be surprised, really:

1) there are voters who support Julie-Annie because they think he's a "libertarian,"

2) there are voters who support Tax-Hike Mike, because they believe he's a sincere tax cutter.

3) There are voters who support McCain because they assume that pro-military = pro gun rights.

4) There are people who support Rmoney because they believe that a business man is better for the economy.

In short, there are a LOT of people out there who just need to be educated about Ron Paul.
