Romney is just annihilating... Geez. I really hope our soft supporters didn't hop ship over to his.

Yeah, I was wrong.

I just want to know how these numbers could be accurate since I thought numbers could not be released until voting was over? ARe the rules different in NV?

Ha ha. Beats the heck outta me.

Sorry. Studies show that simply is not true. I had hoped it would be different with our guys, but maybe not.

Regardless, something to encourage people to show up to vote, can't be a bad thing.

Off the top of your head, what percentage of voters in Iowa would you say are between 18 and 44? What percentage do you think would vote for a Republican? What percent do you think showed up in the caucus.


By the sounds of it, you'd be surprised. Your "studies" have misled you.

Newt back down to 65% on Intrade, down from 80%.

still the special 'Newt' caucus to come though, and they will know from earlier results how many they need.

This is my fear and was when I first heard of this special caucus later than the regular caucus. What a perfect setup to manipulate the final results.

It has been my experience (as an old person) that it's difficult to get a "young person" out of bed on Saturday morning (for any reason). It's just human nature.

That's almost absolutely the case. It's rare when I get up b4 11 on a Sat morning, tho I would for something like this. Naturally, I would expect the same sort of commitment from other Paul youngsters. What are the campus organizers up to? Depending on how this thing turns out later on, I might be wondering what the NV campaign staff has been doing. The IA and NH staff sure did their part.

can you check and see what newts odds are of dropping out of race? are they up or down?

Caucuses are MUCH different than primaries!!

Caucuses you show up in one room, people make speeches, then they divide the room based on who people support. It's not a quick and easy process, and tallies from one district are unlikely to sway another since they're all still in the room.

Agreed. I heard A LOT in our caucus discussion, people saying "we need to support whoever can win against Obama" and I chimed in and said "Why does it matter if it is an R or a D, if their policies are thee same as Obamas? Three of these guys represent status-quo."

I would have just told them that Paul polls almost as well as Romney against Obama, and Paul does even better with independents so it's reasonable to expect that if Republicans fell in line and supported Paul he'd beat Obama handily.

Republican, Democrat... that shit doesn't matter. It's part of the bread and circuses of the political machine, nothing more. The fact that people are still ignorant to this is rather laughable. Loyalty to a party? Give me a break. If RP were running Democrat, I wouldn't give a shit. I'd not think twice about registering just to vote for him. Republican, Democrat... nah, Republicrat--that's all there really is.

And frankly, the American people have no one to blame but themselves for all the perceived problems of government/Washington. They keep voting in empty suits who are basically carbon copies of one another while then criticizing every decision they make, as if they didn't see that shit coming from a mile away.

I'm sick of the ignorance in this country. 'Democracy' fail.
