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

[Fetou]

PBS is saying Paul is in second behind by about 50 votes. I don't know how accurate they are as a station (got someone watching in the other room), but does anybody have an actual update on the vote? Why can't we keep the negative commentary in a separate thread so we can see the results, win or lose.

Bunch of trolls in this thread.

debbie downer != troll, just sayin

Someone coming in here and saying "Hey guys, just checking in from the Repub HQ and Ron Paul is winning by 1000 votes! Just wait and see!" would be a troll.

 

[CTRattlesnake]

Most of the santorum counties have 80%+ reporting.....if anything, he's not going to win first guys

 

[FreeTraveler]

Even if he takes 3rd tonight, it will still practically be a statistical tie! And NH is looking like a solid 2nd. Look how far we've come in 4 years, guys! This movement is much bigger than a stupid election. Even if RP doesn't win, we've scared the establishment shitless. Perk up! Even if we lose this battle, we're winning the war.

This. We're prety much TIED for FIRST in IOWA. Couple of months ago, a few years ago, did you think such a thing would happen? We're solidly 2nd in NH. Santorum can't surge in NH. Only Gingrich or Hunstman will. RP is pretty solid there TBH.

OMG! Sunshine Patriots need to STFU. I've been fighting this war for 40 FRIGGIN' YEARS and this is BY FAR the best thing that's happened for Liberty in that 40 years.


40 YEARS

Cedar County 100% reporting - Ron wins with 26%!

 

[jay_dub]

Gingrich has said he's 'going nuclear' on Romney after this. That will only help RP. Santorum is going nowhere despite Iowa. RP has AT LEAST a close 3rd place tonight and it looks like 2nd in NH.

Let's not get down about this.

 

[Lovecraftian4Paul]

Sure hope these strongholds report soon. It could be our saving grace.

 

[jim49er]

Ron's gonna be pulling ahead like a BOSS

 

[angrydragon]

It's alright nasonex, still going to fight on. 3rd isn't bad.

 

[nasonex]

Hell yes it is. If you haven't been around long enough to see the last campaign, you have no clue how well things are going right now. Stop the bullshit naysaying.

I don't care how well we are doing compared to last time around. I just care if we are doing well enough to win the nomination. Winning the nomination is all that counts. Another four years of Obama or a neocon and this nation is over, toast, finished, etc.

lol Roemer is a good sport

Buddy for VP? LOL

I said earlier that Buddy is my 2nd choice now. Not because I know anything about him, but because I think it would be cool to have a President Buddy.

 

[Gumba of Liberty]

CNN just broke down the caucus and it is looking very favorable for us. The populated cities in the west have zero votes counted. The east has merely 40% reporting. Relax and enjoy the rest of the night.

 

[Nathan Hale]

Ron is NEVER going to get a 'media wave' except attacks.

He doesn't need to get cuddly love, but he needs to be in the position of being called victor.

 

[skilt]

Game over.

It was fun...

I will support Ron vehemently until the end, but let's not kid ourselves. It's over.

your friends think you're a wet blanket, don't they. This is the first inning and you already want to head to the clubhouse for some beers and tears.


C'mon man

 

[Crotale]

@RevPac: Precincts around University of Iowa have not yet reported. It's nowhere near over yet.

 

[nasonex]

Gingrich has said he's 'going nuclear' on Romney after this. That will only help RP. Santorum is going nowhere despite Iowa. RP has AT LEAST a close 3rd place tonight and it looks like 2nd in NH.

Let's not get down about this.

So when do you think we will eventually come first place in a state? We gotta start winning states, and soon.

 

[cynic]

I'm feeling really good about this. Especially after '08

 

[ThePursuitOfLiberty]

Beware: FOX/CNN are beginning to "predict" the placings of candidates...

 

[jsem]

Let's hope Huntsman pulls a surge like Santorum in NH taking away votes from Romney. Then a three way tie between Paul, Romney & Huntsman, with Paul coming out on top.

This could happen even if we don't win IA.

 

[GeorgiaAvenger]

God I love Buddy Roemer. He supports Ron too!

I like him a lot as well....quality man and a friend of Ron's
