[aravoth]

We lost by about 200 votes.

lol, holy shit

 

[cajuncocoa]

How do we know Ron got 2nd? Do we have a link?

 

[steph3n]

No, we lost to Randy Travis. 2nd!!! is awesome!

Agreed, Randy Travis was the x factor for at least 200 people.

 

[devil21]

Recount? I still dont trust the GOP.

 

[Canderson]

well, we can all thank Romney and Perry now for downgrading the importance of this event.

 

[anewvoice]

Paul gets 2nd with 4600

Bachmann 4823

Wow, we weer within 223 votes of first place, no wonder they shut that down so quick, way to go Ron Paul! Congratulations

 

[Mr Tansill]

4823 to 4600!!!! That's damned close!

DAMNED CLOSE!!

Damned close...

 

[wstrucke]

200 Votes and Bachmann paid for 4000 tickets!!!!! I would definitely call that a win!!!! DON'T STOP BELIEVING!!

 

[Inkblots]

4,800 – Bachmann
4,600 – Paul
2,200 – Pawlenty

So close....

 

[libertybrewcity]

PEOPLE! Even though we didn't win, this means we have a huge chance to win the caucus. We are competitive and will come out in droves. Just wait.

 

[V3n]

4823 - Bachmann

4600 - Paul

Keep Bachmann in the spotlight and her drug issue will come to light - Huckabee got 2nd last cycle and went further than Romney (who won). This is NOT BAD people.

 

[nocompromises]

Bachman will get all the attention now, and Ron Paul will miss out on 90% of the media attention he could have got.

Winning the strawpoll would have been very significant.

We need to do an instant money bomb to raise ALL the money Ron Paul needs for the next straw poll.

Ron Paul told us if we did not raise 1.4 million dollars there would be a disaster, and it happened.

 

[steph3n]

Not to mention some people leaning Paul probably DID vote for someone else after Iran comments as they aren't keyed into the truth and reality yet. It takes time, and there is time with a 2nd place finish!

 

[DeadheadForPaul]

Randy Travis barely beat Ron Paul

 

[Bruno]

Bachmann 4823. Ron 4671. Paw 2293
