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

Game over.

It was fun...

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

Seriously.. Fuck off. Right now.

Bachmann is done. Newt is done after NH. Frothy, Huntsman and Perry after SC.

Whatever it ends up being I don't think we'll be in too bad shape. Santorum will be easy to beat. He has no ground game anywhere else, he has no money and no one has hammered him yet.

Romney not pulling a strong lead will hurt him in NH.

Let's not get all down peoples. The fight goes on!

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

but are the students there on winter break?

Does anyone know what is in Dallas County that makes it go so strong for Mitt?

I'm sorry, but the "2011ers" are annoying me tonight. We are changing the fucking world. Wake up.

 

[jabrownie]

We are strong in Polk county, all the college students; also in Story county. Virtually all of those have not yet come in. Back in 2008 we won Jefferson county, nothing in from there either. This ain't over yet...

If your goal was to win the republican nomination then it was over before it began.....let's not kid ourselves.

Ron never had a chance at winning. He said it himself.....in order for him to win and become president, let alone the republican nomination, people had to change the way they view government.

This obviously hasn't happened and you shouldn't have expected it to. To many idiots in our country and the media hates Ron.

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

Hear hear! All the noobs need to realize that there has been a libertarian movement in this country for a long time and for those of us who have been a part of it, this whole experience is a mind blowing improvement over what we used to fight for back in the 20th (and even if the first eight years of the 21st)

No question, Santorum is just a spoiler, but a spoiler of something we really want.

What is this negativity about Ron Paul coming in within 2% of first? You're joking right? This is pissing off the media, they will have to continue to cover him and change their tune about him being able to get out the vote.

 

[dawnbt]

Paul has 46% in Marshall with 5% reporting!

 

[69360]

The meat of the RP supporter areas aren't in. This is going to change really quick.

I'm utterly blown away this many people would vote for frothy. Freakin unbelievable.

 

[RipperNT]

Roemer is killing me!

 

[TVMH]

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 X 1776.

I don't post here very often but stop in to read every day. The negativity is not doing any good and is premature. We're halfway through, lots of votes to go. Of course it would be nice if we were up a couple points at this stage but to say this is over is not "being realistic" yet. In an hour, maybe.

For months now we've trusted the campaign even when they weren't taking the steps some of us might have. And that trust has paid off so far -- who thought we would be this close? Yes, I think we need to win tonight or at worst a close second behind Santorum. But I'm willing to keep the faith for a while longer until it's clear that's not going to happen.

 

[ONUV]

59% reporting

S 25
R 24
P 22

 

[bluesc]

Allamakee County 100% reporting - Ron wins with 30%! Won by 2 votes over Romney!

 

[Duckman]

CNN saying Frothy has no money and no staff.

But he has the MEDIA!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Gravik]

I wish I could slap Santorum....but if I did that, my hand would get Frothy all over it.
