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

[LiveFreeOrDieNow]

Lol newt and the rest of the crowd got spanked! Hahaha

I thought that was a very smart move by the campaign to make the speech at that time and the way they did it. Very well done, especially bringing on the soldier as they knew CNN could not cut away.

I wanted Ron to win this, because I love Ron. Having said that, I don't think that this is a horrible as it could be. Perry and Bachmann are out this month - through SC at the latest. Santorum is this season's Huckabee - not going anywhere. We have a great chance of capturing the evangelical votes as well as the "anybody but Romney" votes as they start to drop, too.

Romney and Santorum are going to start going after each other, Santorum is going to get vetted, and we're going all the way.

We have to fund the campaign, and we desperately need to get the RevPAC "Compassion" on TV, too. I honestly believe that can make the difference.

We're gonna win the nomination!!

 

[bluesc]

So I wonder when the "Fire Jesse Benton" threads are going to start....

Fire the fucking MSM. All of them.

 

[sailingaway]

Well...it coulda been better...it coulda been worse. I'm in for the long haul.

this^^

 

[opinionatedfool]

Shut up Grinch! I can't stand listening to this fool.

 

[Cortes]

The downers are acting like Sanitation Man was just dropped off a plane by FOX. The dude went straight to the theocrat vote in the back of a truck which always wins in old, aging Iowa. Well, sorry gramps, you can't vote for neocons forever. We are getting great dividends from a young population whose vote is growing as they age and have more resources to invest in voting.

Imagine if Bachmann or Newt got more votes than RP? People are that stupid, and such a scenario could have easily happened without our efforts. We just managed to make less of them. Tonight was a success.

 

[economics102]

I'm so ticked off. I really thought people were better than this. Are all old people this easy to manipulate?

Anyone who trusts the media is easy to manipulate.

 

[Duckman]

It's over folks. Romney will win, he will beat Obama and by spring 2013 we will be bombing Iran.

We'll probably be bombing Iran sooner than that.

 

[Kotin]

Didn't McCain get fourth in Iowa? 13% I think.. Ron did great and his speech was awesome.

 

[Carehn]

And those of you ready to give up, go get some sleep. Think this is bad? Imagine 2008 when everyone outside of this movement was utterly convinced, thanks to the MSM and paid republican lobbyists, um, I mean "strategists", repeating the words 'kook', 'gadfly' and 'fringe' every time his name came up and we sat here all night 4 yrs ago believing that we actually had a chance at winning.

We have NOT lost. We are winning. Santorum is a joke and will fall harder than the others. Why do you think he was one of the last ones the media tried to prop up? Because he's going to sink like the turd in the punch bowl that he is.

It sucks that the media tells people how to vote. Don't let them tell you what is or is not worth your effort.

This will be between Paul and Romney.

See my new signature? It's for all of us.

[jjockers]

Nice job Jefferson County! 83% votes in, Ron leading with 390 votes (51%).

 

[Isaac Bickerstaff]

As of this afternoon, 41% of likely Iowa caucus -goers were still undecided. They still are. In a caucus state, the only thing that matters is getting delegates voted up so that we get our slate to the national convention. The caucus straw poll is only important for the media game--which is not very good to us anyway. Most of the delegates that were selected tonight will probably change their minds before the next level of conventions anyway.

Romney seems to be the only other candidate that understands this. It is very good that he is not actually doing as well as he needed to.

 

[RickyJ]

In 1776 we fought for our independence with guns. In 2012, we'll fight for our independence and liberty with our votes.

It's not over for Ron Paul, although Iowan's have let me down, this is far from over guys.

Shitorum will fade by next week, It's a Romney and Paul fight.

I am with you Sublyminal. Nice location BTW.

We can win this if there is no voter fraud and we can get our message directly to the voters. We just can't give up, that is just not an option.

 

[steph3n]

Ron Paul is trending number one on Yahoo search - shouldn't the "winner" of the Iowa caucuses be trending?? Ron Paul all the way! It ain't over yet - not by a long shot!!

\

the internetz...trends are meaningless overall, we 'd already have this locked up if they mattered.

It is a very viable tool for correcting the media, exploiting their weaknesses, and getting the truth out, but trends are not a measure to go by.

 

[Gravik]

ROMNEY IS LEADING STORY COUNTY????

 

[AmberH]

Good night everyone. I'm drunk, pissed, disappointed and tired. I'm going to bed. I hope everyone is still ready to battle this out until the end.

 

[ropo]

The battle has just begun folks! This just shows we need to work harder!

 

[RonPaulFanInGA]

Is Iowa discredited yet? Santorum ain't winning diddly-squat. He joins that state's list of losers like Huckabee and Pat Robertson.
