Polk just updated and it wasn't good, Paul/Frothy tied up.

 

[VictorB]

People, if you are going to act like chicken little then get out of the thread and start your own "doomed" thread.

Seriously....

 

[Liberty74]

Come on we need Polk.

Update to 35% didn't help

 

[Falseflagop]

RICK SANTORUM ???? ARE you kidding me, I told you guys earlier today they were afraid, they paniced and STOLE this with RICK SANTORUM !! This outcome does not wash with the Drudge polling. RIGGED !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Anti Federalist]

The media machine did its job well.

 

[bluesc]

Polk county is down to the wire.

 

[steph3n]

THEY HAVE NO REPORTED POLK COUNTY, BEEN STUCK AT 27% FOR AN HOUR NOW. TRUST ME, RON IS DOING GOOD!

[NC Liberty]

Jim Bob Duggard...please go back to having more children as it is pretty obvious you have not a clue what a conservative is.

 

[TheCaliforniaLife]

Calm down people. Less than 1/3 of the votes are counted. The votes that are counted don't represent a good sample of the population of the voters.

 

[avrpatsfan]

Story County (0% reporting) and Polk County (35% reporting with Paul leading 25-23-23 with all the Des Moines votes here) will WIN us this.

I pray that you're right.

 

[ronpaulfollower999]

Whatever. On to New Hampshire.

 

[Nathan Hale]

It's tough to see Paul slipping, just keep in mind that these are individual precincts coming in - some will favor Paul, others will favor another guy.

 

[Crotale]

The problem is our lead is narrowing in Polk County. Santorum and Romney are catching up in the cities.

 

[Johncjackson]

Do yours show the percentage of votes in? I'm not going to get too excited about a couple hundred votes in any direction until right at the end

I'm seeing the % of each county on Google. A lot of the ones most fully counted are Santorum and Romney strongholds, but I'm not going to get too excited based on the way the #s are coming in.

The media had nothing to do with this. The poor turnout of the young crowd is screwing us.
