Hmm.. Why did that lady only write RP for Ron Paul, when she wrote the other candidates' last names (Gingrich, Romney, Santorum) for them?

Here's a list of the 11 most populous counties in MN, for reference: http://www.co.washington.mn.us/_asset/rqzrwc/ADM-Top11MNCobyPop.pdf

Explain why Santorum is your second choice Jeffster...I'd really like to know how this is possible...

 

[jax]

frothy now up by 1200, not looking good

 

[mosquitobite]

Good grief. Another Santorum surge?

At least maybe Newt will have to drop out at this point.

 

[RonPaulGangsta]

Shouldn't Santorum's color on the map be a frothy brown color, not purple?

So we're currently winning the TWO MOST POPULATED COUNTIES IN MN.

 

[GunnyFreedom]

Result from my precint: Santy 6, RP 4, MR 2, NG 0, Me and my brother are both delegates, 4 out of 7 RPers got elected delegates!!!

Question, if there were 7 Paulers, then how come Paul only got 4 votes?

 

[moonshine5757]

I think Minn is going to get alot closer. Areas reporting would go for Santorum, not many pro paul areas have reported yet

omg please not that rhetoric. we heard that with iowa and nevada too.

It was true in Nevada, we closed the gap quite a bit

Seriously...he has an extremely liberal voting record, and was ranked the #1 most corrupt Senator during his tenure. The only thing he even comes close to us on is rhetoric, and that was only since the 2012 election began. I don't get it.

seven delegates awared total, all 4 ron paul supporters were elected delegates, along with 3 others

Paul : "I get to my God through Christ." "Treat others how you would like to be treated."

Americans : "Boooooooooooooo"

Santorum : "I love Jesus, we are one nation under God." "We must bomb Iran and kill our enemies."

Americans : "Yaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!"

Jesus : " Love your enemies, treat others how you would like to be treated."

Americans : "Boooooooooooo!!!! , I'm voting for Santorum because he reflects my Christian values best. And he's the most conservative!"

James Sanna: "Caucus to our advantage bc the most passionate show up. Most ppl don't even want the caucus system anymore," says Southwest Minneapolis resident Judy Shea, a Ron Paul supporter. She and her son-in-law Chad Weigelt turned out along with many other Sw Mpls Ward 13 Paul supporters. Well-organized, they seem to have swept the selection of delegates. Kris Broberg, former city council candidate and Paul supporter, told me that while the straw poll-which Paul also seems to have won here-is important in picking "who wins," it's the delegates that really count in getting support for Paul at the congressional district and national conventions.

btw let me add that a ton of you freaked out on me because i suggested RP pander a bit to the religious crowd. all of you wanted to play holier than now and say RP is above it, and so far he has been. How is that working out? Some times when you're in politics you have to play the game. It's chess not checkers. Santorum is eating them up with his religious bologna, yet he wants to kill people like crazy.

I agree 100%. Always behaving like the good guy gets you a kick to the face and only works in the movies. I know what Paul is about and he should have played the game the way its unfortunatly played.

 

[Havax]

We are on pace to almost double the amount of votes from 2008.

 

[KingNothing]

He would be my second choice behind Paul. I'm glad you are not the judge of "right minds."

You're obviously not from Pennsylvania.

OK gotcha. That is good news. Thanks for the hard work!

He hasn't really been vetted yet. He plays the social statism so hard that everyone assumes he is a fiscal conservative.
