Ron Paul is an amazing man. Fighting against the force of 100 years of corruption, war profiteering and brain washing. Swimming against the current of bias and propaganda. Ron Paul takes nearly 1 of 4 votes in Iowa.

Great man, great cause, great movement.

Yes, and he's still cheerful about it.

Ron Paul is a saint or something, I don't know how the hell he does it.

I would have said "fuck it" and went home years ago if I were him.

Delegates:

Romney 14
Santorum 4

Ron Paul is old, you collectivist idiot.

 

[DRFilms]

Maybe the media was right back when Ron was in the lead?... Iowa doesn't count.

 

[jordie]

Its name is Jefferson county. Those people know what's up

Zoom in closer on the map, there is a large town called "Libertyville", too

 

[VCU for Ron Paul]

Growing up throughout my teens and early 20s, along with the internet, while developing strong research skills and a childlike curiosity... while following the media in general and their BLATANT agendas they shamelessly push.. has made me possibly the most cynical, untrusting person EVER to walk this planet. That is all.

PLEASE OBIE RON PANOBIE, YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE!!!!!!!!

seriously...

Okay, let's be grown ups, gear up for the battle ahead, AND face the reality that the best scenario for Paul winning the nomination (placing 1st in Iowa) has eluded us. The bad news is, this eliminates our chance to get a media bounce out of Iowa. We'll have to keep fighting the MSM to the bitter end. The good news---there's lemonade:

1) Should Santorum squeak out the win/virtual tie in IA, it denies a clean 'win' for Romney there. Romney wins NH next week, so the big issue is SC. If Newt holds the lead and wins there, there is no perception of Romney running away with the nomination.

2) We now have clarity about both the potency of youth and independent voters, and the impact of the major media. The MSM cannot block Paul out of coverage, as proven during the campaign, but they can still perform a short term hatchet job to cost us a key victory. As always, despite the best organization to get them out, there is a roof as to how many young people and indys will RELIABLY show up. We must now learn to expect a moderate turnout of Paul's "secret weapons" instead of the blue skies projections we have been making.

3) The MSM thinks they've won, and may go back to sleep in tracking Paul. This gives Paul activists a chance to make the other caucus wins happen, since the GOP and media won't be as observant about beating back our supporters across the country, as they were in the first contest.

4) If blatant GOP/MSM machinations continue to happen to take a pipe to Paul's knee between now and the end of February, Paul will have the pretext he needs to quit the Republican race and run 3rd party before super Tuesday (so that he won't be hurt by sour-grapes law states as an independent). OR, he could announce he would be continuing to run for the GOP nomination, AND for the LP/CP nomination. This will force Republicans to choose between supporting him as the nominee, or else going down to certain defeat in November.

I personally think he should have taken this both/and hard-core route from the beginning. If the establishment threatens to cripple Rand Paul's career if Paul goes 3rd party, Rand can run in 2016 and ALSO threaten to go 3rd party. One way or the other, the movement must continue to cause THEM pain, in order for any change to happen. Otherwise, it'll be US feeling the pain, again, as many of us are tonight.

Jefferson…its in the name...

There's a school or something there for the Maharishi's people. They love Ron Paul. Ron won the Hindu vote, but we already knew that. He carried it in 08.

 

[eduardo89]

No one got any delegates yet. Ron Paul could get way more at the state convention. Iowa delegates aren't awarded till
May or June.

Umm -- I think you're misreading that. That link says it's 6-6-4

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.

I am sure they lied. This isn't over, it's just one state.
