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

[dirtdigger]

It's a bit more complicated than that... this is more like a local grocery store (Ron Paul campaign) trying to beat walmart (MSM). It's a HUGE uphill battle, GIGANTIC, and I think the campaign has done very well so far. They've spent money as wisely as they could, but there are points (ie Florida) whenever it's almost impossible to defeat.

The campaign's main problem is that it is not attacking Romney. RP's share could be a good 5% higher if his campaign directly attacked Romney's positions. Try for second place and you will lose. And the campaign should stop giving up completely in certain states. Even if there is no chance of victory, make the other person work hard to win.

I don't think people understand how serious the accusation actually is. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. And this claim certainly qualifies as extraordinary.

And the implication and consequences of actual voter fraud would be extreme to say the least.

It's not a term you can toss around lightly.

UTTER and COMPLETE incompetence in Iowa (missing precincts and UNABLE to certify their own election).

Dead voters in NH.

Dead voters in SC.

The decision to hold a SPECIAL caucus that requires signature to an affidavit that you are voting there because of your RELIGION in NV.

Add onto all of that the highly suspicious shifting numbers....

The GOP is FILTHY.

Of COURSE we believe the NV GOP is capable of voter fraud.

Probably acknowledging the vote

Probably right. Just looks funny. At first I thought he was only doing it for the Ron Paul votes lol

 

[KingNothing]

What's up with the guy giving a thumbs up for every single vote?

He's a Ron Paul supporter. Like all of us, he is likely aware that cheating can happen and is probably untrusting of the establishment. My guess is that he was signaling to other Paul supporters that the recitation of the name checked on the ballot was accurate.

man...this special caucus is like an infomercial for ron paul....awesome

 

[G8orballboy]

my calculations have us needing a 900 vote edge on gingrich in clark to get 2nd.

If the special vote count is similar across clark... we have a shot. But it very well could be the except. At this point nothing would surprise me... including a last second surge by frothy to bounce us into 4th.

 

[buffed]

Fox just had a live segment of vote counting out loud. The precinct leader held up each ballot in front of witnesses and called out the candidates name. He named Ron Paul many times, a few for Romney, very few for Newt and none for Santorum.

I like the thumbs up guy.

By the law of averages at that special caucus, Ron Paul should win the state of Nevada with 80% of the popular vote.

 

[IterTemporis]

Why is Newt talking again?

Dead people vote everywhere. Ballots turn up missing everywhere. But you have to keep it in perspective. Would the results have been materially different with the missing ballots or dead voters?

Also, you know, it seemed like that special caucus could end up being a huge boon to the Paul campaign. Might want to keep that in mind.

Paul is going to beat Romney in this special caucus

 

[Maximus]

So CNN is now just replaying his presser?

 

[jax]

Why the fuk are they replaying the gingrich prwss conference

 

[astiees]

Whats with Newt

Newts quoting the deceleration of independence and the constitution. Who does he think hes fooling?

 

[cornell]

Wow, so many Ron Paul votes at the "Newt Gingrich Caucus"

Kind of crazy!

 

[Mark37snj]

How many votes were taken into the gated community? Let's say the worst case scenario really happened there. How many votes would Newt, I presume you suspect he stands to gain here, add?

Between the votes we KNOW went into the gated community and not the polling place where they should have went directly + all the votes we DON'T KNOW about...tough to say but it could be anywhere from 1-10,000 votes or more. 100 at this polling place, 200 at another, 75 here, 125 there, it can add up quickly. But why would people want to do something like that? I mean to do something like that there would have to be alot of money and power at stake right?

 

[The Tatami Galaxy]

RICK SANTORUM!

..."GAY!"

 

[jrc1589]

the guy definitely just said Ron Paul more than even Romney and at least 3x Newts during CNN's airing of the vote count... soooo wtf? transparency of unfavorable region's vote count + ground reports of paul friendly regions + paul campaign id #s over Romney '08 #s = 3rd to Newt??

 

[jllundqu]

man...this special caucus is like an infomercial for ron paul....awesome

Someone needs to cut together the first part of the special caucus where all the RP supporters spoke, then mix it with the RP votes being announced... dub inspirational music... voila! Instant viral!
