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

[Mike4Freedom]

Guys, we got this, the media is reporting the precincts in this order to make it look close for ratings, Ron Paul has got this!

 

[devil21]

So this Iowa election appears to be the youngens vs the blue hairs. Grandson vs. Grandma

 

[RonRules]

Ron is doing well in the big cities and it takes time to count all those votes. I think it's looking good.

 

[ctiger2]

I'm fearing we lost momentum.

This is the same BEARISH SENTIMENT that happens to Silver/Gold right before they launch. Thank You!

 

[ellioso]

It's weird that CNN supposedly has counted more vote's than the Iowa GOP/Google tracker has which is official.

 

[Jtorsella]

Oh geez it's really close.

 

[InTradePro]

Looks like we're down 2,000 votes.

You mean 200

 

[GeorgiaAvenger]

I'm fearing we lost momentum.

There is no momentum. The voters occurred at the same time without any media in between.

 

[flightlesskiwi]

oh, i get it.

and i get that it's Ron Paul vs. the Status Quo. and we aren't gonna vote for the Status Quo.

But listen to what she's saying between the lines:

"Hey look, I disagree with the guy! (she's gotta say this to keep the neocons in her corner) but if you care about the PARTY - you're stupid to marginalize Ron Paul's followers." (ie: look idiots - they have a solid 15% nationally - good luck winning without them!)

 

[stomper4x4]

That's Palin's quote, not mine. Alas, my husband agrees with her.

I was right there with ya hence the eyeroll

 

[Jack Bauer]

CNN says Frothy up 27 to Ron and Romney's 21.

 

[Anti Federalist]

Palin: The worst thing GOP could do is marginalise RP and his followers. (Fox Business)

That ship has already sailed.

 

[Matthew5]

Jon Huntsman - You know your campaign is hopeless when you're losing to "Other"

 

[sailingaway]

Romney's gaining. Up by a percentage point now.

What channel? Msnbc still has the top three all at 23%

 

[BSU kid]

Just won JOHNSON county

 

[moonshine5757]

seriously how do you guys know ron paul is doing well? i like optimism but not the blind variety

 

[Andrew Ryan]

I can't take this anymore.

 

[Crotale]

This is what worries me most....

Turnout:

17-29 - 15%
30-44 - 16%
45-64 - 42%
65+ - 26%

 

[opinionatedfool]

Looks like we're down 2,000 votes.

It's a couple hundred, not thousand

Let's not go there. The 18-29 group is only like 15% of Iowa's population.

This just means that we need to focus harder on reaching out to seniors.
