Iowa Caucuses Return Watching - OFFICIAL THREAD!!! (1/3/12)

[sailingaway]

Iowa is the type of place that still thinks Saddam was part of 911. Don't worry guys... You had to know this was going to be an impossible task. As much ground as we have gained in the last few years, there is still so much to go and its not over yet. As long as we are consistent, they can't ignore us, and if push comes to shove, maybe the GOP needs to have its ass handed to them again...

Iowa is great. They just don't assume the media is spinning their politics, being nice people themselves.

I'm hoping for a Romney win personally. Unfortunately it looks like Santorum will pull it off.

 

[notsure]

Newts calling for debate w/ Paul. Attacking up, on Newts part, but maybe an opportunity. Lincoln/Douglas challenge?

I don't even know if Newt is worthy of the lifeline, or even relevant, but it could be a good opportunity for Ron to talk more about foreign policy.

 

[misterx]

Gingrich is scared shitless of Paul, you can tell from his speech.

Yet we've got people here willing to give up and think it's all over.

Dumb, dumb, dumb.

I don't think anyone's actually giving up. They just had high expectations today, and are letting off some steam.

 

[matt0611]

The campaign was too dismissive of frothy and got too overconfident.

How were they supposed to do anything? CNN and the MSM pumped him up from 5-6th place into 1st in a matter of DAYS.

How the fuck do you combat that?

 

[szczebrzeszyn]

Apart from Jefferson did Ron with any other counties?

yes, look at http://www.google.com/elections/ed/us/results

Newts calling for debate w/ Paul. Attacking up, on Newts part, but maybe an opportunity. Lincoln/Douglas challenge?

He doesn't need to waste time with this fool Is the only think Newt knows how to say is Lincoln Douglas? What a huge freaking fool.

I wonder how many people who were identified as Paul supporters either didn't make it to the caucus or changed votes due to the negative press of the past two weeks?

LEAVE. NOW.

 

[chuckp123]

at least bachman will drop out. i'll take my pleasure in that

I hope she doesn't. We need them to stay in as long as possible to dilute the nut-job vote.

 

[eduardo89]

Ron just came in 3rd, within striking distance of first; after coming up against more powerful enemies than anybody in modern history.
He just needs to keep that growth pattern.

Yeah I know. I don't think it's over. If we place a strong 2nd in NH and win the caucus states before super Tuesday we're fine. Just saying we can't compare this to McCain.

lol same. I want to see her spin her lost. Before she started attacking Ron I thought she would be endorsing Ron but now I think she's going to endorse Romney

 

[sailingaway]

please tell me a mod will read all of these posts tomorrow and weed out the .......

I'm probably going to have to condemn the entire thread to hot topics. No way am I going through the whole thing....

 

[skilt]

I think that as a mod I'm not allowed to +rep this post.....

Yeah, probably not moderator type behavior, but I know you know what I'm talking about. Thx

About 4 years ago in Louisville, KY I shook hands with a Presidential candidate who was largely written off by almost everyone and had a conversation with an eye surgeon from Bowling Green. Today, one is a Senator and the other just placed 3rd in the Iowa. I'll take that. Way to go Ron.


NEW HAMSHIRE HERE WE COME!

 

[pacu44]

We can still win the nomination. But realistically...I don't think this country as a whole can be saved. Oh there will be a country called USA, but will it be anything any of our forefathers (or even us) recognize? Crazy how things have changed. How idiotic the populace is, and ready to be spoon fed by the MSM.

Rome freaking 2.0.

try Idocracy

 

[Duckman]

Get the men in uniform out and convince Americans we're in trouble if we don't get out of the Middle East.

YOU WIN this thread.

 

[kill the banks]

Iowa is great. They just don't assume the media is spinning their politics, being nice people themselves.

there's a lot of truth to that

 

[CTRattlesnake]

LOL

The chair of the Iowa GOP just said "theres no such thing as a recall in the iowa caucus"

 

[jersdream]

Hope Romney wins. At least then, he'll surge and win New Hampshire and it'll be over quickly.

Outside of Paul winning, the best outcome for me is just getting it over as soon as possible.

You are such a hypocrite. I have seen you chastise sooo many people on here for any sense of reality or warning of something negative could happen. You call them trolls, etc. Yet you are ROOTING for Romney. unbelievable.
