NV CAUCUS-GOERS: Please post your observations / live results in this thread!

I wish he'd come through with some more Nye County results.

I wish you'd come through with some more Nye County results being such an insider and all in Nevada politics. lol I'm just messing with you buddy.

Because Intrade almost always gets it right. Much better than the polls. For the same reason the free market works. It aggregates information from everyone involved to predict the outcome.

Intrade is a post-hoc assessment of realtime information. Its not predictive of anything. Why does it change so much? They base it off of the same information we are basing our 'predictions' on, that Ron could be 2nd or 3rd, very close. So quoting Intrade changes is completely bullshit. It just means someone is gambling more on one side.

Currently 2nd could go either to Ron or Newt and it would be close. Now its all about betting, taking a chance, and that is what Intrade is showing. I really don't see the point of people mentioning it.

Calling people "son" makes you sound like a complete idiot. If you were some big time insider in Nevada politics, you wouldn't be arguing with people over the internet right now. Create your own thread for your ridiculous argument.

I know enough about the inside in Nevada to know that talk about rigging votes for second in a GOP caucus that was over before it began is ridiculous.

And when/if I ever feel the need to campaign again, I'll go back there.

But until then, as someone who knows the inside of Nevada, let me tell you... Ron Paul's worst enemy, as far as the GOP voters are concerned, are irresponsible followers who question the legitimacy of the process.

When this is all said and done, however it turns out, I'll still have the ear of those who do Nevada politics. Trust me, after this exchange, I'll be less likely to proclaim any associations with the rEVOLution..

Because I would fear, in the eyes on the inside, that would make me look... how did you put it? Oh yes, like a "complete idiot".

3rd Place in NV is not bad. It show's Ron is not out of this yet.

if it is close third it will be better than any poll projected, so will be over performing. We do need a breakout, somewhere, though.

Total count for Valley High School -

Gingrich - 50
Paul - 115
Romney - 136
Santorum - 29

I volunteered for the caucus, we were under staffed and things were crazy. I didn't get to vote in my precinct meeting because we were so swamped. Volunteers at the site held a caucus after everyone was gone - Paul 3, Newt 2, Mitt 1. I am a delegate as well

these are great #s if it hasnt been reported here yet!!! GREAT JOB and thank you for being a delegate!!

More than a handful at my site. Mostly Mitt supporters. A few Ron Paul guys, felt really bad for the. People thought you could vote any time between 9am and 1pm.

I think all this just proves that the meme: "One thing is for sure, Ron Paul Supporters will show up", is completely self-centered BULLSHIT. We have enthusiasm to go and attend rallies and 'party' loud. But when it comes to going to the boring place called caucus, forgettaboutit.

Hate to have to agree with you, but i think that is a major problem as well. I tend to crap on the old people a lot, but honestly, i really don't think the youngsters/college demographic are turning out as they should. Going to all these rallies like its some spring break event is nice to see, but it seems to me most of them drop the ball when it comes to actually going to vote and that just hurts Ron really bad in the end.

AWESOME! that offsets the big newt numbers from the other school

Should just trust my common sense. Americans are too stupid to elect a worthwhile president.

Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public. --H. L. Mencken

Of course they are, otherwise they would have elected much better people already. You think these politicians just appear from nowhere? These are the people that the public winnowed down.

George Carlin explains it best:

 

[Perry]

Son, when you've done Nevada politics for a third as long as I have, come talk to me.

Until then, you really don't know what you are talking about.

Way to put him in his place Gramps. That gave me a pretty good laugh.

There's some truth to what you're saying -- we aren't, by and large, the loyal servants of Liberty we pride ourselves on being. But we probably are more likely to show up than others, on the margins. Human beings are too similar, in general, for one large group to behave much differently than another large group within a sample.

NOW IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY SHARES ON ITRADE ON RON PAUL TAKING 2ND!!!!

Yea, see what i mean? This is just blatant ignorance on peoples parts (of all camps supporters, not just Ron's) when it comes to being wary and responsible on voting day. I mean, christ, not enough people have it together and simply cannot be depended on.

Always reminds me of that great proverb: When all is said and done, more is said than done

 

[affa]

Are you denying that there isn't some bias against Ron Paul? Now you're getting into conspiracy theory territory.

No, he's playing his part perfectly, throwing terms around like 'tinfoil' and 'paranoia' to make us doubt ourselves. Whether intentionally, or unintentionally, that's the effect of each of his posts. Putting JohnGalt in your user name doesn't make the sh*t he's peddling smell any better.

 

[ssjevot]

A lot of people are just unwilling to accept that liberty is not popular with the current electorate and rather than work towards creating a future base for the movement they want to find something to blame other than the current political climate. Unfortunately they don't realize that blaming things like vote fraud only hurts the movement.

 

[TheGrinch]

Hey John Gault, how about you call your caucus buddies and find out where that truck of votes went...

Why do I always let the trolls get to me. Welcome to my ignore list. I suggest others do the same, if he just wants to be an establishment troll.

If you don't want to be a part of this movement and jsut want to bicker and attack folks, then we're better off without you. Have a nice day!!
