http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jan/19/rand-paul-iowa-poll-caucus-youth-vote This is the link for the story where the 2,000 number comes from.

Iowa State University is located in Story County.. Looking at 2012 results Ron Paul got 1,088 votes falling short of winning the county by a mere 10 votes. http://elections.nytimes.com/2012/primaries/states/iowa

Just think how huge it would be if Rand turned out 1,000+ of just college students!!!!! And guess what.. They have a caucus site on the campus.. Guys this is going to be very interesting..

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to kbs021 again.

I hate to get my hopes up that America's young adults will turnout...but, I'm getting my hopes up. Even if it doesn't swing the caucus it will be a serious in-road for the future. We'll see.

Alright Youths... it's up to you, don't let us old guys down.

 

[bunklocoempire]

Rand Paul or GTFO

"senior vote rage posts" lol

 

[mello]

If 2,000 pledges are from one college, then what are the pledge totals from other Iowa colleges?

 

[CPUd]

over 9,000

I'm here! LOL

Rage? Dear god, stop being so delusional. It's old people that vote. And unless Rand is competitive with that old vote which accounts for like 65% of the vote for god sake, the 2K above isn't going to help Rand place in the top 3. It's very basic math. 95% of you failed that simple equation in 2012. We shall see what happens in 2 weeks.

If held today with 10K student votes, Rand would be around 8-12%. For some reason Trump is killing it with the old and evangelicals which I don't get. That's how a person wins Iowa. Rand knows this and so does Chip. Ron found that out as well.

2k would win him the entire county.. From one school.. And yes we get that. Rand's phone calls have been all older people last few months. We are fighting for every vote. Youth, libertarian, liberty republican, etc.

Lets hope you are wrong... Have you ever been wrong before??

 

[kbs021]

To think that Rand's ceiling is 8-12, in my opinion, is wrong. Too many 2012 Ron Supporters out there. They aren't being polled (evidenced by the DMR Poll).. After hearing that CAV pac identified 38k potential voters, I think Rand's ceiling is closer to 30 percent. I would be shocked if we don't get 20-25k voters. We will find out in 13 days.

I think your wrong

well huge difference, school was out in 2012, you can't take a caucus if all the college voters are spread all over Iowa, but if they are concentrated in one area, you take that county, plus it's a whole lot easier if you have 1000 people around the state directing the student caucus goers and old people, the neocons old media types are croaking. Last time when we took our county for Rand in Missouri half were dead from when we last seen them in 2008.

I think big turnout will help 2 candidates: rand and trump. Don't have to agree with me but what if rand and trump get the 1-2? Cruz is going down and i'd keep an eye on rufio!

It would be great if it happens. Kids pledge to do lots of things. Getting them to venture out in winter and stand in a basement full of old people is another. I think they won't show. I also think Rand will get around 5th in IA. Let's hope I'm wrong.

Although that's possible.. It has become evident that the large campuses are having caucuses on the campuses.. That is a huge development. They can probably walk there.. I think we can do this.

I wouldn't count out the youth. They are easily excited (and just as easily defeated) by new ideas and new things. "Getting involved" is a new thing to the youth (throughout history) and they are eager to plunge into something but if that something turns out to be a huge disappointment (aka politics) then are quick to exit. Lets hope the excitement continues through the election cycle!

There is an inverse relationship between the percentage support for candidates with a passionate base and total voter turnout. Operating under the assumption that Rand has disproportionately high passionate support, a large voter turnout would not be good for him.
