NOBP People - Who Did You Vote For in 2008?

[tbone717]

Most of the folks here have stated that they will not support the GOP nominee if it is not Ron Paul. Out of curiosity, if you feel this way, who did you vote for in 2008?

I voted for Baldwin. Please bump or comment after voting.

Thanks.

McCain, although I wish I would've voted for Baldwin. He was a great candidate.

I voted for Ron at the State GOP Convention, and kept fighting for him all the way through. That much smaller gruop of people did the best they could, and now there are enough people for a stand to be worthwhile. If Ron is not the GOP nominee, though, I would settle for "anyone but the GOP nominee" being a respectable choice, since it would set up a run in 2016 by one of our current liberty candidates.

Romney and Obama are two of the same. All a Romney win would do is tarnish the elephant and lose the support of sheep who would be angry enough to vote anti-Democrat based on the four ruinous years we are surely sailing into.

Then again, Ron is still in this, and doing fairly well. This poll is as premature as all the "who will be Ron's VP?" threads.

I wrote in Ron Paul

Add this to the poll!!

Wrote in Ron Paul, as I will this year if it comes to that.

Curious why that wasn't an obvious poll option.

It demonstrates whether or not a NOBP contingency can have a real impact or not. If someone voted for McCain in 08, but will not vote for the nominee in 12 it is a lost vote for the GOP, but if someone like myself voted for Baldwin in 08 that is not a net loss for the GOP.

I put the candidates that had ballot access in a majority of states. Paul was only on the ballot in MT and LA and eligible for write in in CA. Other states were he was written in technically did not count, so any of his would go into other just as candidates such as Charles Jay or Alan Keyes would (since they also had very limited ballot access).

And you're going to find this out by posting a poll on Ron Paul Forums...

How scientific?

Why even worry about this? Moreover, the GOP will make its decision based upon the actual, demonstrated support out there this time around for Ron Paul, not based on converts. There are quite a lot of people who've been converted into non-votes by the tone and length of this process so far.

Then have a mod kill it - I really don't care

 

[donnay]

Other. I wrote-in Dr. Paul. I do not care how the establishment has it set up. I will vote for no one but Paul again. Any other vote would be a wasted vote!!

 

[Jingles]

I was too young at the time so I couldn't vote. At the time I would have voted for McCain I must shamefully admit (I even had a McCain/Palin sticker on my car. My god, I was young and dumb). I didn't discover Ron Paul, liberty, etc... until directly after the 2008 general election occurred.

 

[Icymudpuppy]

RP endorsed Chuck Baldwin. I voted for Chuck, as that is what RP wanted us to do.

Don't worry about it. I like your poll.

 

[Voluntary Man]

Baldwin.

Voted for Paul in the primary.

Would've voted for Paul, if he'd been on the general ballot.

 

[ronpaulfollower999]

Too young but would've voted for Baldwin (did in my High School's mock election).

 

[bizz]

Other - I wrote in Paul. I followed Paul through out the 07-08 primary but was still going to vote McSame in the General. Then TARP happened, that was my wake up call. Said a big FU to the Republican party and wrote in Ron.
If Ron doesn't get the nod this time I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. I do know I won't vote for Mitt or Frothy, I'll probably write in RP agian or vote for Gary Johnson if he gets the Libertarian nomination.

I put "other" in the Poll because I wrote in Ron Paul in 2008
