North Carolina results thread

[Barrex]

Problem is that the other candidates probably have more business connections, and got more cash to run radio ads and whatnot.

Well problem is that NO ONE (well from what I know 3 people were involved and few somewhat involved) responded to Bradleys call to campaign for him. He got less than 10,000 dollars in donations and some people think that grassroots couls get 100,000 dollars to help Alaska GOP!!! There is that thing called reality.

That is it from me tonight...people dont like when I get honest and tell too much truth
Good night.

When Ron is running it takes most of the oxygen and that is the truth. It was retrospectively not a good time to change offices. Two years from now Ron won't be running, but Gunny might not be available. Dammit.

Yet the oxygen tanks come out for Massie.

Personally, I'm pissed.

You didn't create a banner for a money bomb for him or anything, no one did. We put them up last election and would have this time if we'd had one.

edit, looking at wider results I see there was a ban of gay marriage amendment on the ballot. So the Santa voters turned out.

Exactly my point. RP is currently in 2nd with 10% or so, right ahead of Santorum...but where did the majority of Santorum voters go? The liberal Mitt Romney? Are you serious?
The campaign raises $30+ million and is "in it to win it" and can't produce a single Romney only attack ad, or run a single ad in Virginia, or now in North Carolina that was having a MASSIVE turn out today because of the marriage Amendment?

Are we still taking the HQ seriously?

Santa was about bombing people and banning gay marriage, for his hard core support. Romney signed the Constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage thing, I'm almost certain. And he's happy to bomb people.

Hey, their BRAINS have been calling Romney the nominee for weeks now, their brains being the talking head pundits like Hannity and LIMBAUGH, who two months ago told them romneywas equivalent to Satan.

Bad day guys.

In addition to Glen Bradley, liberty candidates Jordan Greene(state house), Jeremy Adams(state house) Fern Shubert(state auditor) all lost.

 

[GeorgiaAvenger]

Of course if most people stopped donating to Paul, they would not donate to anybody, and that is because promotion of liberty candidates is almost nonexistent, and I am not just pointing fingers at this site.

I know their brains have, but sometimes you have to cause a THOUGHT to cross their brains...via radio and/or tv ads, and even INTERNET ads. What's the point in raising so much money, having the most passionate and dedicated grassroot supporters, BUT having an official HQ that apparently from all the evidence we have seen, is in the bag with Romney?
Campaign advisers saying they have been calling for Romney attack ads, no response to them. Grassroots donating time/money to make videos as examples for the official HQ, no response.

Gave the official HQ another 1+ million in the last moneybomb, thinking perhaps we would see SOMETHING for it...and the campaign announces they are running an outdated ad in Texas.
Seriously, we as RP supporters are supposed to hate government waste, and yet the official campaign keeps on wasting money on an outdated ad? Where does that make sense?

Yup. It amazes me how people can't see how Romney is every bit as bad as Santorum.

PI didn't even know Glen was running for state SENATE. His ad here says rep.

If you know the general population, you understand they only do as the tv/radio tell them. They can't be bothered with anything else. They are "busy" watching American Idol, football, baseball, hockey, and every single other new television show and seasonal sport to be bothered with researching anything...but that definitely won't stop them from keeping with the two party system.

This, and considering Paul didn't campaign much if at all in any of these primaries tonight it doesn't help. Hopefully Texas and California come through big time!

 

[DerailingDaTrain]

Over 100,000 dumbasses voted for two people who aren't even running anymore. Is this their protest vote?

 

[MarcusI]

I don't even see a single county for Ron Paul. All go to Romney? Really? The state is that uniform? WV too? Not a single county for RP?

As of now, there is not a single county in WV, IN or NC in which Romney has under 57%

Only exception: Madison in NC. Here Romney has 49%, Paul 26%, Santo 12%, Grinch 8% Which is also the best Paul result today. But only 53% of this county is reporting yet.

embarrassed for this state. (at least I can say I wasnt born here)

Not those of us who aren't wearing the rose colored glasses. It will be interesting to see what increasingly idiotic excuses for this surface over the coming days.

i dont want to blame the voters... but i wish they at least dig a little deeper to figure out who the hell is still in the race. wish we could secede from the union.

100,000 is a lot of protest/ill-informed voters.

correlation. If we lose there could be a thousand reasons, you are fixating on that one and saying if we lose it is proof.
