McCain Wins Vermont

[Ron Paul Vermont]

But Vermont Hates bush, oh oh why did the voters of Vermont vote for McCain


McCain will be the same has bush, only a bit more eviler.


So much for there hate of bush.

They do hate Bush. The media blackout really hurt. They all figured that Bush was a republican and democrats are different and they are sick of the clintons and Bush's so they voted Obama. If Ron Paul did some serious TV campaigning in this state then I am sure he would have won it.

In spite of the blackout, the campaign could have run ads at least. We had absolutely zero ads......radio and television.....nada...zip...nothing. Oh how I would have liked to see how the campaign would have gone with fair media coverage and less put downs and no blackout.

I need to research how to sue the FCC. I know they broke the law but I do not have the funds for attorneys.

Thanks to all for their efforts. Keep on keepin' on.

Well I saw some RP adds run during the New Hampshire primary in Vermont. It was a New England TV station though. I also heard a radio add in a vermont radio station. He could have done more though. Maybe even stopped in and done a couple speaches. Vermont is a small state that does not like Bush and if most friends and reletives here realized that he would have gotten a lot more votes.

I organized all the media ads in VT through the meetup groups. The radio and newspaper ads were funded by donations from Ron Paul supporters locally. I begged, pleaded with HQ to do some advertising here, especially since it was really cheap and seemed to be somewhat effective in at least getting his name and message out to targeted conservatives (the radio show) and the general populace (newspapers) in a few different parts of the state.

Governor Douglas' endorsement of John McCain and the Newt Gingrich-loving VTGOP chairman didn't do us any favors. Also, most of the conservatives were leaning towards Romney to begin with and the Christian vote went to Huckabee. When Romney dropped out a ridiculous amount of so-called conservatives did what Rush Limbaugh told them to do and crossed party lines to vote for Hillary. Also, many of the neo-cons did the same thing. I worked the polls and saw this disgusting display with my own 2 eyes.

Make sure you remind them every chance you get that they "wasted" a vote and allowed a liberal and warmonger to be the GOP nominee. By voting for Clinton they also helped build up the Obama machine.

Oh, I do. To the people I know, anyway, and I've voiced that opinion on the radio many, many times and lamented it to the Gingrich-protege I mentioned above.

But I just got involved with my local GOP over the last 2 months or so. Though I'm making a quiet entry and trying to gauge the group, I have begun to get a feel for who's interested in the Constitution, who's a toe-the-line lockstepper and who's there to make money. I live in a very Republican district and as I begin to feel more comfortable and accepted by my new peers these people will have no doubts as to my conservativeness. Unfortunately here in Vermont the Democrats are so liberal that it's very easy to be a liberal Republican and still be viewed as a Conservative.

Something weird going on with the quote mechanism in this thread.
