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

[green73]

Gingrich is hilarious! What a mad men. But who isn't amongst these guys?

RP gave a great, rousing speech. This was a good night. We've come a long way in four years and momentum is on our side. Don't listen to the bullshit storylines. These jokers are all extremely vulnerable as candidates. This race is between grassroots America and the Establishment'a media. We can win if we don't lose heart!

There's Newt's friend Rachel Borger pumping him up. Ugh, I don't like her for what she did to the good doctor.

Entrance polls are never reliable

I'm hoping for a Romney win personally.

Me too. My parents are in PA, are Fox News addicts and have always *loved* RS. Ugh. I had them /this/ close to going our way, and this little bit of one-upmanship will tip the scales back the other way.

Great job, folks. One state down and Dr Paul did really well. NH is next on the list: We've got to hit the phones and get the word out. This is only the beginning and we've got to be ready for this election to go into extra-innings. Keep pushing.

Can someone explain why the military guy screwed up when given prime time to make the case for Ron Paulson foreign policy. Even Ron Paul seemed pissed with what the guy did up there. Now no one can complain CNN is to blame for that.

BuddyRoemer Gov. Buddy Roemer
Newt Gingrich just said he's fighting a corrupt system? I expect him to have two black eyes by sunrise. #historian

Buddy Roemer tweet! He just made me the most bleak moment to laughing hysterically! Then it faded let's dig in!

What the heck can they do when the media clearly has the power to make a single-digit, sixth place candidate "surge" like this in a couple of days? A fake poll, media pimps the crap out of it, old fogies watching decide to follow along and it becomes a reality.

Did you listen to the interviews of the Santorum supporters tonight? "Well, what I heard from the media is that he's a good family values guy" was what one lady said on CNN.

They could only do it because he was unvetted this close/ They will try the same with Huntsman in NH so start looking for his background. But they can't do that once Santorum is KNOWN to have taken more lobbyist money than anyone else his last year in Congress, etc. You can't unknow stuff.

Hi, my first post here (lurker since past year). What matters most is that Ron Paul stays in the race and keeps spreading the message. When our economy finally falls off a cliff (hopefully during Obama's second term--so he'll take the blame), people will remember Ron Paul and his message. Only then will Ron Paul start a real liberty revolution.

I also have to add, though, that I will never believe anything written on the DailyPaul or RonPaulForums ever again. Land lines? Liberals? Independents? Young people? I should've realized depending on young commies to vote for Ron Paul was foolhardy, at best. Everything that was said here was WRONG and WRONG HUGE--just like in the last election. People have to think realisticlly. While the MSM is definitely biased, they rarely outright lie.

Alright, I said my piece. I'm just glad I don't have to live in America when its economic end finally comes.

Like I said before, we needed to set up the buddy system for young voters. Make them accountable for themselves and for someone else. Make it fun. We should try to get this going for New Hampshire and fast at the colleges and high schools.

Are you dropping out Bachmann? *crosses fingers*

 

[Lafayette]

Bachmann is speaking now, wonder how many of her campaign staff in the other states will defect to us?

 

[ONUV]

we can pick up some points from bachmann supporters.

 

[J_White]

Bachmann on !

 

[LiveFreeOrDieNow]

Good work everyone. We are in GREAT shape, especially when you compare today to 4 years ago. I'm always amazed at the amount of support Ron Paul gets now. He can no longer be ignored. Onward my friends! Liberty must not die!

 

[parocks]

They underestimated the stupidity of the electorate. So did I.

Santorum will beat us in New Hampshire, then, right?

We aren't particularly extraordinarily helped by this.
Santorum is helped.

This is fine. This is OK.

Gingrich is hurt
Perry is hurt
Bachmann is hurt.

Where is Santorum in South Carolina?
Where is Newt in South Carolina?

Where will they be in the next South Carolina poll?

Because Santorum was at 3% or so
and Gingrich was at 30%.

Who will be losing votes, and where will those votes go?

 

[Razmear]

SHes gonna drop out???

 

[kill the banks]

Story isnt in yet, a college campus, hopefully we'll get a 2% bump

I keep hoping ... how many total votes there ?

 

[GunnyFreedom]

Apart from Jefferson did Ron with any other counties?

Yes, he won 20 counties it appears.
