Ron Paul: It was almost like a tie

[knarf]

It was like a tie!

 

[rp08orbust]

It was almost a win if he had spent the week campaigning.

 

[noneedtoaggress]

Wow, dude, give the guy a break. He's doing all this for you, you think he wouldn't rather be spending these days with his family? He's going out of his way and stressing himself out and putting himself in danger.

 

[PaulConventionWV]

It was almost a win if he had spent the week campaigning.

It would have been a win if the vote was fair. Don't be hard on Ron Paul. He did win. They just won't admit it.

 

[Acala]

yup

It was almost a win if he had spent the week campaigning.

Yes, he has only spent the last forty years devoting his life to the fight for liberty and done more to revive the liberty movement in this country than any other person. But he sucks. And you, presumably, are much more effective in what you do to fight for liberty . . .which is what exactly?

He was there all week.

People demanded he keep events hush-hush so that they weren't full of supporters, then people complain that he didn't announce any events to his supporters.

The campaign can't win.

 

[rp08orbust]

He was there all week.

Really? When and where was that revealed? The background in the TV interviews he did sure looked a lot like one of his offices in Texas.

He was definitely there Thursday. Pretty sure he was there before that as well.

This is a partial quote:

Ron Paul is in Maine, it's just being kept very hush hush. If it gets on the Daily Paul or RPF, then we get flooded with non-caucus goers, which defeats the purpose of having him at a caucus full of undecided voters and delegates.

This is a partial quote: <snip>

In that case I'll lay off Ron, though like many, I'm still in one clusterf**k of a mood

 

[angelatc]

So now they have a plan, and can't tell us either what it is or where he is?

The campaign seriously thinks you're stupid if you believe that Paul was in Maine. There's no point in being in Maine if he isn't actually telling people that he was there. And he was in Texas - the videos speak for themselves. Now that Politicos schedule has scrolled off I can't capture that.

You should be. This campaign is a clusterf*ck.

Ron Paul: It was almost like a tie


Horseshoes and hand grenades.

 

[Gary4Liberty]

Only 5524 votes were cast in the whole state! What percentage of the population is that? And what percentage of the registered voters is that?

 

[Bosco Warden]

IT WAS A WIN!!

Politico: Romney's campaign might be involved in cancelling the caucus that Paul is doing well with only 80% reported!

Got F**ked by Romney and the rest of the GOP shitbags.

Just keep moving forward, we are getting the delegates needed to take this.

Also, its time to give up another happy meal for Dr. Paul DONATE SOME CASH!! This is just beginning!!

BIG WIN FOR RON PAUL IN MAINE
With 95% reporting, Ron Paul has over 36% of the vote in Maine right behind first place finisher Mitt Romney, who has barely 39%.

But when all the votes are counted will Romney still be in first place? Only 194 votes stand between Paul and a first place victory. Washington County is a stronghold for Paul and has yet to report. It might be a week before we know the final outcome there and Washington County is expected to yield 200 votes or more.

Still, Maine is a state in Romney’s backyard that he should’ve been able to walk away with easily. That Mitt almost lost to Ron tonight–and that Mitt still may lose to Ron in the days to come–does not bode well for the establishment candidate. Romney shouldn’t have had to campaign in Maine and yet circumstances forced him to make a last ditch effort.

Santorum, riding high on Tuesday, was 20 points behind Paul tonight. Newt Gingrich, who won South Carolina with 41% last month, got only 6% tonight.

This was not a good night for Mitt Romney. It was a fantastic night for Ron Paul.

Yes, we know, you're pissed that they let you down and didn't get a win yet.

 

[angelatc]

It isn't about me. It's about this notion that the campaign can do no wrong.

Been here, done that before. Paul won't fire the people who can't get him across the finish line. This isn't a 5th grade soccer game where everybody gets a prize to make everybody feel good. (Although even at that age, the kids all know who won even if the grown ups pretend that the score doesn't matter.)

The voters know what a winner looks like, and Paul isn't looking like a winner.

The fact that there are people here thinking these results are acceptable is ridiculous, and the concept that we can win the Presidency without winning a single primary or caucus is beyond preposterous.

He screwed up by not going to Maine, and if Collins is telling you he really was in Maine, only not actually campaigning, that's just a lie.

 

[ConCap]

Less than 6,000 vote in Maine.

When it comes to the internet Paul has the edge. However most of them are young. Unless you can get them to get their dead a$$e$ of the couch or off of their computer chairs, leave the house and vote, you will never get the vots needed to win. 195 short. You should of had Maine.

 

[bluesc]

Indeed. Been here, done that before. Paul won't fire the people who can't get him across the finish line. This isn't a 5th grade soccer game where everybody gets a prize to make everybody feel good. (Although even at that age, the kids all know who won even if the grown ups pretend not to keep score.)

The voters know what a winner looks like, and Paul isn't looking like a winner.

The fact that there are people here thinking these results are acceptable is ridiculous, as is the concept that we can win the Presidency without winning a single primary or caucus is preposterous.

He screwed up by not going to Maine, and if Collins is telling you he really was in Maine, only not actually campaigning, that's just a lie.

#1 I wasn't told by Collins
#2 I agree the idea that he can win the nomination without winning a state is unrealistic
#3 I agree that he isn't coming across as someone who wants to win

I would have liked to have won, but the results are acceptable. We still get the majority of the delegates in this case. He probably won, but the GOP cancelled the caucus where Paul was strong and created new caucuses that were strong for Romney the night before the results were announced. That isn't tin foil hat stuff, and it isn't delusional. It happened.

Yes, but it isn't the campaign's fault. It's the GOP's fault. It's the fault of the young voters. It's the weather. It's apathy. It's never the campaign's fault. After all, they have a plan, you know. It doesn't involve winning, apparently, but just send them more money anyway.
