I am baffled why people are voting for Santorum as a protest vote in some of these states....
Early voters or hard core supporters.
Well it sure as heck doesn't help that a lot of RP's supporters stubbornly refuse to switch from Libertarian or Constitution party registration to vote for him.
These people are such babies. "I dun wanna soil my fingers by pressing R" Grow up. I was a socialist 4 years ago and voted in the Republican primary twice to cause chaos. I ended up voting for Lonegan (for NJ gov), who I would support now after all haha. Ive talked to people on the left and right like this. And then the "I wish he would run third party" THIRD PARTY NEVER WILL GET ANYWHERE AT THE PRESIDENTIAL LEVEL
< !!! ENTER RANT MODE !!! >
The only place third party will EVER work is in areas where its really lopsided. Any 70% or 80% and over vote can be split in half. But the third parties are so thick and demented that they would rather spend millions on presidential campaigns that accomplish ABSOLUTELY NOTHING whatsoever. There are so many lopsided districts that can be exploited easily. Why dont the socialists put someone serious up against Charlie Rangel? The Greens against Nancy Pelosi? Instead of spending a million on Gary Johnson, the libertarians should have fully funded the libertarians that run against Dick Lugar. I could go on and on and on. I really dont care who does it and would love to help them. I would much prefer open Socialists in Congress than the Demoncraps. At least the Vermont Progressive Party has some sense and is starting to build themselves up. I was going to start one here, but then I became a libertarian and apathetic about elections. But anyway...
< !!! EXIT RANT MODE !!! >
ALSO, the campaign and the grassroots could have done better and organized like hell. Do people not know what GOTV is? I actually had a friend who said to me today "Whats GOTV?" and hes pretty attuned to this stuff. The campaign especially could send out an email at the least "Hai guise, could ya get your asses out and vote? Take your family, neighbors, friends, and make sure they vote for Ron Paul." We could have won more delegates tonight outright. Its like Virginia. WHY WAS THERE NO CAMPAIGN THERE? We couldve won 9th. We couldve won the goddam state. Why didnt they sue to say the 50%+ rule should be changed to 67%? etc etc etc. The caucuses dont make up a majority of delegates and we cant steal everything. Theyre putting way too much faith in brokered and if Mittens hits 1144 mid June, the party is over.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE future states
GET THE VOTE OUT. Everyone thinks its over and turnout will be low. Ill be sure to be doing this in NJ, altho its walking up a mountain, but I dont want to be a hypocrite.
