The Official Ames Straw Poll Thread

[Agorism]

...200 votes.

That's it. ...wow

 

[RonPaulRules]

200 votes. Those could be 200 people that wanted to see Randy Travis or whoever the fuck bachmann had. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!

2nd is not bad at all. I'm kind of surprised so many people here thought we would win it.

The fact thatwe only lost by ~200 votes shows that those who thought we could win were right.

Having said that, yeah, this is a fantastic result even though it sucks we missed first.

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

1st: BACHMANN - 4823
2nd: RON PAUL - 4671
3rd: T-PAW - 2293

Damn it. I know it's still a win in some ways, but seriously.... What the fuck. 200 votes shy.

 

[steph3n]

I'm sure there was some fraud...

 

[Eleventh Star]

Bachmann's gonna fizzle. Like the song that was blaring in the background, don't stop believing. We can do this, make this happen.

 

[bunklocoempire]

Oh no, it's that crappy song that was the background music to the Sopranos' ending.

Now it's the background noise to this Ames BS.

 

[Original_Intent]

Screw them, with that close of an outcome it is complete B.S. that they did not give the totals for the top two.

The fix was in. less than 200 votes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Elwar]

Ron Paul: 4671

 

[iGGz]

omg it was so close 200 some more people

 

[Ranger29860]

omg fox actually asking if paul is now a frontrunner

 

[erowe1]

Stadium cheering for Ron Paul!

Oh no. Please not that chant.

 

[economics102]

It's not even 200 votes. It's 152 votes!!

 

[nocompromises]

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.

This is not bad, but it is not good either.

This is not a victory.

Bachmann will be seen as the front runner now.

If we had won, we could be the front runner.

We will need to work EVEN HARDER to win the next straw poll.

 

[libertybrewcity]

This shows we have excellent organization. Don't be down people! Be happy! this is only one state and a winnable state!

 

[ssantoro]

Epic win!!!!

 

[zerosdontcount]

This is almost better... since Bachmann wins the poll is taken seriously, which means so should Paul.

 

[AdamT]

It was Bachmann 4823, Ron Paul 4671. 152 votes from 1st.
