I certainly hope for more than that. Bachmann's looking really strong right now.

4000 votes is just under 30% of the total est votes.

Bachmann's staffer said she passed out that much by 2pm

A Bachmann campaign official, after being told that Ron Paul's camp expects to hit 4,000 votes, says they gave out 4,000 tickets BEFORE 2PM.

This cracked me up

They're lowballing. Rumor was that this morning we'd already sold 4,500. I expect around 5,000 votes, if not more. It may be tight between us and Bachmann, but the one sure thing is that Pawlenty isn't going anywhere.

2:00 PM in Iowa wasn't even ten minutes ago.

I guess they're getting this number since that is the number of tickets Paul's camp has been rumored to have sold.

I really hope we can do better than 4,000 votes (although, what position would like likely end up putting him in?)

They would be smart to be low balling

2nd for sure.

Man im fiending for results already this is killing me. I shouldn't be this excited over politics

 

[RonPaulFanInGA]

2nd for sure.

About 14,000 voters, you get over 4,000 votes...that's 29%. That should be enough for first.

Don't highball it.

We were expecting a top 3 finish last time and got 5th.

You're also assuming every ticket went to a Ron Paul supporter

With those expectations, you're gonna to find yourself and others disappointed

Cautious optimism and be pleasantly surprised

So Pauls campaign is claiming 4000? Grassroots for liberty is claiming 1400 for them. That 5400 possible and that is not including people who buy their own tickets. We should have at least 4000 votes(not just tickets) and 5000 is possible.

Ron just isn't a low baller. He isn't an exaggerator, every time we try to say he doesn't mean what he plainly seems to mean, we are wrong. (Remember how we kept hoping there were unstated stashes for the end of quarter fundraising?)

However, people can still go and vote. I understand the lines to vote are hugely long, which may favor us.

 

[mit26chell]

14K was the number of voters last election. We don't know how many more or less will be there voting today, no?

You don't think they'd have been combined? I hope you're right. Not much we can do now. If he loses by one vote like at SRLC a year ago.......

Tickets are not the same as votes

Tweets have been saying maybe not an all time record but def more than last time.

As I understand it, there has been no cooperation, why would they start now?
