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

[pacu44]

The sunshine patriots here are much worse for the campaign than finishing third.

THIS IS NOT THE GENERAL ELECTION AGAINST OBAMA!!

An UNVETTED social conservative with no future infrastructure is going to beat the "Unbeatable" Romney, and we get one of the three tickets out of Iowa.

BIG WIN TONIGHT FOR US!!!

CNBC is saying that Paul no higher than 3rd and that Santorum has infrastructure in NH and SC... "he can mount an anti-romney" campaign, at least for awhile.

Paul is top 3 in an election, he's "electable" plus there will be a lot of media attention to the top 3

Sorry, but I don't think so, media attention will be the top 2, have you not been paying attention they barely mention Paul when he is in first or 2nd and you think they will talk about him coming in 3rd? Care to place a wager on that?

 

[nasonex]

Relax. IF we don't get 1st place tonight, we won't do worse than 3rd. IF Frothy gets 1st that just makes him the new Huckabee. He will go no further. And you know who got the nomination in 2008? The guy who placed 4th in Iowa - McCain.

Nothing is over. Not by a LONG shot!

The difference is that unlike McCain, Ron Paul is universally hated and despised by all the major media networks. Both Fox and CNN despise Ron Paul, and want to prevent him from winning at all cost.

If we want to win the nomination, coming in less than first place in primaries is not an option. We don't have the luxury of not being constantly attacked like McCain!

 

[Jtorsella]

Goodbye guys. Too tired to be pessimistic. We can soldier on, and liberty ever shines.

 

[blazeKing]

Lol Iowa just voted Santorum knowing NOTHING about him besides that the media says he is electable and surging. Collective ignorance is collective.

 

[rideurlightning]

This is fucking unreal. We should occupy the fuck out of ALL MSM NETWORKS THIS WEEK.

 

[UtahApocalypse]

I almost wonder if anyone switched votes after getting 453865934659348 calls from PFH today??

 

[TravisforPaul]

I can concede 2nd place, but 3rd just does not make any sense....

 

[parocks]

now 88% reported. Almost impossible to win now. Not a neg comment, third is still incredible.

I never bought into the "must win Iowa" argument.

Most of Story County is still out. That's Iowa State / Ames. Also Jefferson County, which we won last time. I think the race will get closer.

It's better that Santorum is in top 3 than Gingrich.

We easily can vanquish Santorum. There is a lot of "definitely not Tea Party" on Santorum's resume. And next is New Hampshire. Santorum's got a way to go to pass us in New Hampshire.

 

[Falseflagop]

IOWA did its job it was the Media and the crook behind the scenes that STOLE it by using the SURGE SURGE BS HYPE of Santorum !! imo he was in single digits people what a surge dont you think?? COmmon wake the F UP !! RON had this stolen imo.

You want evidence? Please wake up PEOPLE COMMON SENSE !! Take the blinders OFF Santorum PLEASE !! imo

 

[Gravik]

F*cking Santorum has won like 75% of the counties

How many people live in Story county???

 

[libertyfanatic]

Read my sig

 

[opinionatedfool]

Stick a fork in it guys. We lost, no matter how some of you try to spin in. We will now be back to the "third party" questions. Seems even Ron's internal polling was off. I feel a little sick now. Third place, just aint cutting it.

His polling was just fine. It was the CNN pushed Santorum push and attacks that caused the problem. We have a lot of work ahead of us.

 

[nasonex]

They are still supporting Santorum! They are making him into a candidate that can steal our voes away.

I'm all for a third party run as well, but we have to at least stick around until Nevada. We might be able to win the GOP nomination. We're on the rise, and we don't have any strong competition besides Romney. Remember how crazy the race has been thus far.

Also fuck you: CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and CNBC

now now
you know how RP feels about third party

 

[AlexG]

Story still isnt in yet and we're winning that one aren't we?

 

[jsem]

We should've hit Santorum much earlier.

 

[Liberty Shark]

Hey, this is still an incredible strong showing.
