Read between the MSM lines, Dr. Paul is going to be HUGE in this one

[kaberUSA]

Ok, heres my resoning:

The MSM has figures they can't release until the polls close. They take exit polls that can be fairly accurate, but don't release them until the polls close so they don't influence the election.

After a full week of hyping how important the NH primary is, and who is going to get the huge bounce going in to Super Tuesday, all of a sudden EVERY media outlet (literally within the last couple hours) is talking about nothing except how NH doesn't reflect the true voting pattern of America. They are all of a sudden stressing how many independents they have, and how no other state will vote like NH.

Combine that with the HUGE 70% turnout, and my senses are telling Paul is going to come in BIG. With a capital B. And they know it. The blackouts didn't work, the smearing didn't work. They are trying to cover their asses now, and marginalize the good Doctor before the news comes out.

Now I believe that a lot of the new voter turnout and and independents are going to benifit Obama, but on our side of the isle Dr. Paul is going to recieve some "pissed offf independent lovin" himself.

Thoughts?

Edited to add the text of a post I made in reply, that is burried here:

I'm trying to not get my hopes up also. I'm not necessarially predicting Paul is going to come in first or second, theres a HUGE marging between second and third right now, I'm suggesting more of a third place finish, but with a lot bigger margine than anyone thought over fourth.

I'll be happy with 4th, estatic with third place, and probably have to change my pants if anything else (after I'm done jumping up and down while cackeling like a mad man.

I hate watching the MSM, all they talk about is Obama, Clinton, Rudy, Romney and McCain. And they'll do 15 minute pieces on each candidate. And they cafferty will say a little email about Ron Paul, it's a complete sham. We should all go into banking and take over the establishment from the inside

We NEED to solidify viability. We WANT a good showing. We HOPE for the best.

The optimist in me is looking at 3rd or 4th with mid to high teens and burying Giuliani and Thompson.

My hopes are always up for Dr. Paul. Can't wait to see the results... will be a late night for me hear on the East coast.

MSNBC just left him off the initial results.

If I went into banking, I'd have to kick my own ass.

If Ron Paul places in the top 3 in NH, they are going to look like a very tech-savvy, free- thinking and intelligent state that loves a maverick. that's good press for us and NH.

 

[hopeful]

Solid 3rd

Giuliani 4th or 5th........ been too busy down in Florida for the good people of NH to consider. Besides, he's from NY (ARROGANCE FACTOR)

Thompson ? dead last

Romney ?

My understanding from the coverage is the independent vote came in 60% for the Democrats, 40% for the Republicans. With a huge turnout, that should mean a bunch of those GOP independents went for Paul.
