"conservatism is alive and well in missouri" — froth, who voted to raise the debt ceiling 5 times. EFF THIS

Ari looks terrible.

Aris is terrible. He's a perfect example of what's wrong with DC.

 

[Feelgood]

They said he was a big loser tonight. One guy said he came in 3rd and 4th everywhere and he has faded. Anderson Cooper corrected him "he got second in Minnesota". He responds "second in Minnesota? No, his campaign is finished this was a bad night for him". Basically.

It is a bad night, as far as these numbers go. Completely slaughters momentum and fund raising. At this rate, we will be damned lucky to get $1 million for the next moneybomb. I doubt Ron will bow out, but no one can honestly say this isnt a shitty night. I really expected more of Minnesota at least. I just can't believe Americans are this stupid!!!!

If it was a bad night for Ron, what was it for Mitt and Newt, the "frontrunners"?

 

[thesnake742]

I don't understand how people can be so upset with Minnesota. He was polling in LAST place. LAST. He will now finish in 2nd, and from my experience at the caucus earlier tonight, we will do VERY well with delegates.

Gingrich is toast but at least Mitt has Florida/Nevada/NH/Super Tuesday. We don't have anything. We need Paul to drop out if he doesn't win Maine or Washington and run third party.

No we stay in till the bitter end and then run 3rd party if need be. Why drop out so soon? At least let the delegates run through their motions over the next few months.

You don't seem to understand how this works. Turn off your TV.

This is a good night. I know you guys wanted to win, but this was a very good night.

1. Ron's best result ever - 27%

2. A virtual guarantee that this campaign goes on and on. The longer it goes, the better for us.

3. Total demise of the establishment candidates. Non-theocratic voters will need a Santorum alternative.

I think that if Ron Paul does run 3rd party and Santorum wins the GOP nomination, that'll be better than Romney winning the GOP nomination because there is no way in hell Independents and Democrats will vote for Santorum.

THIS.

Take a deep breath and read this again and again until you feel better.

This was a VERY good night.

The delegates are non-bounding in Minnesota so people shouldn't get upset.
