Santorum Dean Scream.

lol...great minds...

 

[IterTemporis]

Santorum is speaking? Alt F4.

 

[Havax]

Santorum stealing Paul's line but substituting "conservatism" for "liberty".

 

[bbwarfield]

All that said... Extremely encouraged by the numbers... So let's get focused and get real and realign our strategies

 

[Student Of Paulism]

Just wait guys! Santorum won't last past Iowa, he doesn't have any organization or any money. We have the greatest organization in the world in the caucus states where its all about turnout, we'll win all those hands down because our organization is the best ever.

Yea, people really need to snap out of that meme, it is quickly becoming more untrue by the day. There really is just no excuse to not winning one of these states out here, considering all the support we 'supposedly' had and what the campaign 'supposedly' did there, a lot of from the past 2 years.

Dropping the ball after NH though, with some terrible decisions made right after that, is what really should be looked at as the reason for this. Any loss in momentum is extremely difficult to get back, if at all.

I love this.

I love how we are all griping and tearing into each other tonight. We need this as a stress reliever.

So... What now?

Santorum stealing Paul's line but substituting "conservatism" for "liberty".

I know right? He is shameless in the way he steals Dr. Paul's rhetoric

Tea Party people in the vineyards? What the fuck? Do they make their own wine after watching Fox News?

 

[VictorB]

Wow, Ari Fleischer, CNN commentator, doesn't even know Ron Paul is in second place in Minnesota. Know why? Cause Fleishcer's an ignorant prick AND because CNN hasn't even mentioned it. Pathetic.

He HATES Paul. I don't want to come to any ignorant conclusions, but I think Paul's stance on Israel is the factor.

Ari Fleischer is on the board of the Republican Jewish Coalition.

I really agree with this. This age group is our only chance to win. They are the X factor, we need to spend tremendous amounts of effort getting them to show up. I am not saying to ignore the other age groups, keep doing things to get those people to vote. However, we need a grand gameplan to get these young people to show up in the caucus states where the turn out is so low.

With the abysmal turnout in Maine we have no excuse not to win. By my quick count from this wiki page Maine has over 46k students at colleges. We are unable to get 2000 of them to show up? There is no way to do that? I don't believe it. Just have not had the correct approach or effort to get it done. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colleges_and_universities_in_Maine

Orono has voted already.

Santorum really? This country is fucked. Everyone move to NH and let's seceede. Conversely we could all learn spanish/portuguese and move to Paraguay/Costa Rica... Santorum is the worst of the 3 authoritarians. There isn't an area where he isn't a totalitarian.

Santorum stumbling and bumbling through his speech.

 

[CTRattlesnake]

Wow.


There are some random counties that paul is winning big time. Odd how the message of liberty hits certain places but skips over others

 

[WD-NY]

+1 million

What is the deal with the campaign now? They were pumping out ads for Iowa all the time. They have nothing now. It's like they gave up after Iowa. Get those dam ads out on both those subjects ASAP.

Srsly.

• When was the last new ad released??

• Why hasn't Ron said delivered anything other than the same OLD stump speech that he's been giving since Iowa.

• Santorum is supposedly delivering a speech tonight that ... wait for it... "focuses on Obama".

• Why the heck hasn't Ron delivered a HISTORIC speech outlining his philosophy in the most clear and eloquent words possible... a speech that makes clear why Obama's big govn't solutions are wrong and his pro-liberty solutions are RIGHT??

And what the hell is up with the no rally+speech tonight?? Election night speeches have probably converted more people over to Ron than all the money they've spent on advertising thus far. How does a strong 2nd in MN tonight not = SPEECH?!

yeah, pretty much

The MN map is getting greener on google.

 

[KingNothing]

how much you wanna bet Romney surges up to 20 percent and ron falls to 21 percent?

I bet you a $500 donation to the campaign that this does not happen.

 

[braane]

It looks like those UMinnesota Duluth folks came through up in St. Louis County. Keeping it close there, I figure we will take it by the end of the night. Keep your chins up. We might break 30% by the end of the night. If we were going to have only 1 second place finish tonight, this is the way I would have liked it to go down. It proves this race is wide open. Santorum can't amass the delegates needed to take the nomination. Romney is looks a little weaker, and less likely to be the nominee. Gingrich is becoming an afterthought.
