Kentucky and Arkansas results

[RonRules]

I'm afraid you're right - Paul has now 12.4% with 66.2% reporting, so its highly unlikely he will do the threshold in Kentucky

Wait till I do the chart to analyze it. Check the small sized precincts and you'll see what he SHOULD have gotten.

They don't have to have a run-off between the top 2 if nobody get's over 50% do they?

 

[digitaldean]

We need to have more young people, Independents, and Democrats to come vote for Paul in TX. If we don't we will see Mitt get over 60% of the vote also. We will not be able to change minds of Republicans but with TX being open we can win with the other 3 groups if they come out in mass.

Can anyone tell me who won KY-6?

Patrick Kelly is a pretty good RP / liberty guy. Wondering how he did?

 

[sailingaway]

Massie won, is the good news of the night from KY.

I really feel like the campaign through Ron's campaign under the bus with its email, and not fighting the way the media said it meant he was no longer in the race. That was all over KY papers.

Patrick got crushed pretty badly, unfortunately. I believe Andy Barr got over 80%.

Overall though, I don't think Barr is too bad. He might actually be okay.

Ah, that's too bad. Any other decent candidates make it?

Thank you Jesse and John for that wonderful e-mail from the Campaign last Monday suspending all active Campaigning in the remaining primaries. True genius.

Many replies to this and other threads have first hand knowledge of voters they talked too in both Kentucky and Arkansas who thought Ron Paul had quit the Campaign and as a result, voted for another candidate.

The damage is now official and probably cost us some delegates as both were proportional with a 15% threshold and one, Arkansas was even a fully "OPEN" Primary.

What a terrible mistake by the Campaign. No wonder so many RP Supporters are furious, their predictions came true tonight!!

I am at least happy that several Liberty Candidates won tonight, obviously with far better Campaign Strategists than Ron Paul has in his Camp.

 

[jbauer]

Yeah, but if Massie won by a landslide why haven't we gotten more for Paul. Unless of course the others were gooners

I'm coming around to that point of view as well. The campaign could have quietly wound down the advertising without saying anything and let the "media blackout" continue. When they finally got press, it was all about him "dropping out".

 

[RonRules]

I posted the chart for Kentucky.

Next I'll do Massie and Hightower

AR Secretary of State website says only 33% reporting with Paul in 2nd by about 200 votes. CNN,MSNBC, and Politico have total at 64% reporting with Paul in 3rd by about 200 votes.

 

[RonRules]

What do you guys know about Alecia Webb-Edgington? Is she an "establishment" type person?

I've got some interesting charts with her taking votes from Massie in Kenton county.

[Gage]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the fact that Ron Paul actually won a county in Kentucky, Trigg County.

 

[NatePinAR]

Congrats to Trigg County, that's awesome! In sharp contrast, we have Lee County with 0 votes for RP. Zero. Epic Fail.
