Do some people just support Ron and then don't even show up to vote? That seems to be what is hurting us the most is low turnout. It seems to me that if Ron can pull in crowds of 1,000+ at events then those people need to show up and vote.

On a side note I can't believe that many people support Romney in Nevada...I mean...really? The flip flopping on every issue, the robot responses (and songs), and everything else that stops us from voting for him doesn't stop others from doing it and I want to know why. Hell even Gingrich gets a pass for being one of the most horrible people to ever be involved in politics because he "sticks it to the liberal media".

You keep making the mistake of thinking that people are voting based on issues or informed opinion. The vast majority of voters decide based on looks, personality, fashion, hairstyle, etc. The fact you are on this forum means you are more informed than 95% of the voters.

I know it isn't pleasant to acknowledge, but the vast majority of voters are absolute retards. If this weren't so, we wouldn't be in the situation we are in now. After all, there have always been plenty of candidates that were in third parties that would have been much better than what we have now. The fact of the mater is that they simply vote for whomever the TV say to vote for.

#Newt cancelled his press conference tonight. Interesting. Is he going to step out after another loss? #GOPPrimary #NVCaucus #Gingrich2012

Some were speculating the press conference meant he was dropping out.

Perhaps this means he "knows" he's coming in 2nd and is now staying in??

BREAKING RT @SpencerLubitz: Ron Paul takes Precinct 7731... Mitt in a close 2nd, Santorum 3rd, Newt 4th. #NVcaucus

no raw numbers

 

[JohnGalt23g]

Are you saying that there is no chance of voter fraud?

In this race? Damn little. Newt doesn't have people in place to commit it, and Romney has already won.

If the people who are in a position to do such a thing were so inclined, it would be to push Gingrich down. Not up. Down.

And nobody is going to take a chance at tossing their career, and going to a Nevada penitentiary, over a second place finish nobody with any power in the state cares about.

If you find yourself thinking they would... loosen the tin foil.

Hey bobburn, it sounds like your law professors have brainwashed you well.

Tort reform to control medical expenses? Lmao. Please see "Hot Coffee." As a soon-to-be attorney, I find that the vast majority of people have no idea what tort reform actually accomplishes--it limits real, actual damages suffered by people and destroys the civil justice system. In states that have passed "tort reform" medical expenses have increased while the cost of doing business for hospitals has decreased. Tort reform, in its most prevalent character, is nothing more than a charade designed to demonize the civil justice system and claim that "frivolous" law suits are bankrupting America--something that is simply untrue. If you've committed a wrong, you should pay for that wrong. I understand capping punitive damages, but capping ACTUAL damages is wrong--plain and simple. If someone was paralyzed or brain damaged, they should not be forced to settle for less than the harm that was done to them. Those people will have to hire someone to aid them for the rest of their lives, their ability to generate income will be diminished forever, and the medical bills are usually substantial. If you've got $2M in damages (cost of lifetime earnings plus cost associated with medical bills and continued care) but are capped at 1M, you're now forced to turn to the state to care for you. In the end, tort reform shifts the burden from the wrongdoer to the taxpayer. No thank you.

@AnjeanetteDamon: Precinct 7731: Paul: 8; Romney: 7; Santorum: 4; Gingrich: 3. #nvcaucus/And another for Paul.

Just got back to Reno after getting a speeding ticket on the way from Carson City. Went to a 9am caucus in Reno then noon caucus in Carson City. Passed out lots of flyers and brochures with an inset. Many people said they had received super brochures already. Probably more than half took materials (undecided or Ron Paul supporters?) than rejected.

Of course, this could be anything from a 2 vote lead in a 20 vote precinct to something like 20-100 votes in the lead in a huge precinct.

Still, I think we'll come second. The areas we did best in (eg. Nye) aren't even in yet.

Ron wins with 10votes, mitt 8, santo 3, newt 0 ---> doens't help us much.

Why can't it be like Ron: 223 votes , Mitt: 200votes, Santo: 40votes, Newt: 13votes.

 

[pauliticalfan]

These big numbers are in Washoe county, where we got 14% and third in 2008. Granted McCain only got 16%, and it's looking like Newt is closer to 20% there.

Fact is, if we come in third, there's gonna have to be some major re-evaluation going forward.

 

[JJ2]

He is thinking that with the votes "behind the gate" and the unorthodox jews coming out tonight, he'll get 2nd... so he will stay in.

"Gategate"?

No worse than 3rd, no better than 2nd. Tight race between Newt and Paul now, looks for be a 50-50 chance for either guy to take second.

 

[flynn]

what really matters is, in the end, we know there are a group of people who believe liberty the same way, just like us. (in my opinion) ... and we can win this.

So naive. Do research on Bev Harris and voter fraud before you formulate opinions.

If you find yourself thinking they would... loosen the tin foil.

Appeal to ridicule.
