The Unofficial Feb 7th Results Thread

this is a santorum lovefest on CNN right now

It's been a lovefest for Santorum for weeks. Most neo-conservatives have jumped ship to support Santorum and have abondoned Newt. They know that their only hope is to join forces with the so-cons (once again). Of course the ever great irony is that the neo-conservatives are socially liberal, and would prefer Newt over Rick. But they know that they will control Santorum's foreign policy, which is far more important to them than orgies. And they know no one will stop their orgies anyway.

link for minnesota results?

See first post.

how did we do right there?

 

[tuggy24g]

Just google Ron Paul

 

[Okie RP fan]

As a college student who went to Iowa on my own dime to campaign for Ron Paul, I resent that. I have done more for this revolution then many people involved who are far older then me. That's pretty insulting.

No, the polar opposite of Ron Paul would be somebody like Bernie Sanders, a socialist. Rick Santorum is not a socialist.



I've admired his efforts for a long time, his willingness to be a leader in the Senate on the pro life issue, going at it with extreme pro-abortion Senators like Barbara Boxer. I like that he doesn't back down when liberals spew hate at him over the marriage issue and stands his ground on moral issues.

Some of you seem to not realize that you chase off supporters and potential supporters when you are vulgar and insulting towards the other candidates. Ron Paul will have to get a lot of votes from more traditional Republicans to get the nomination. I am not alone in being a social conservative for Paul.

I believe Santorum is more genuine than Gingrich and Romney, but that is all I will give him.

If I weren't part of the NOBP vote (and if I were deemed part of the soft support for Paul), Santorum would be my second choice as well. But, my vote goes to no one but Paul!

We should be VERY happy about Santorum's success tonight. We NEED to keep Romney from steamrolling this and having the media declare it 'over'.

Wrongo. Bernie Sanders may be a socialist on economic issues, but he's an ally on social issues. Santorum is an ally on virtually nothing.

Haha Collectivists suck.

So let me get this right:
College kids suck.
Seniors suck.
Women suck.
Apathetic 30-50 year olds suck.

Got it.

I'd rather accept an uncomfortable truth than a comfortable lie any day of the week. The fact that the 8% of the 18-29's who do show up to vote are passionate and committed demonstrate that outliers like you exist. The basic fact, however, remains. However insulting you find it, it does not change the reality we are faced with. The 18-29 demographic has only ever really turned out once in the whole history of America -- and that was for Barack Obama.

And what percent of the 50+ crowd do we get...less than 10%? For you people to blame young people, or to call them useless is counter productive and insulting. The liberty movement will live and die with youth.

I think Ron Paul should endorse Obama at the height of his support. GOP and fox news, if RP is not winning neither should you.

 

[vf2012]

well Denver hasn't showed up yet so Colorado should change

 

[KingNothing]

Great for you, pal. Try not to take things so personal over an Internet forum.

Everyone says we win with the college vote. The kids show up at the rallies, only to show that a measly 10% showed up at this precinct or county, etc.

In Iowa and NH the younger voters showed up in numbers that represented their share of population. I imagine the same or better will happen in MN.

They aren't why we're losing. The meme that they don't turn out is completely false.

 

[PolicyReader]

please somebody tell me Ron paul still has a chance.

Read the following:

[Okie RP fan]

I see, and what are the demographics of x county? 11% may be representative of the population, or even higher than the percentage of young people there.

If you're not going to dig for the numbers, then don't make up numbers. You don't know. Young people have been the driving force in this campaign and the previous cycle.

I'm not denying the last part, and I'm part of that demographic myself, being not quite twenty years old and doing what I can.

Again, take it for what you will. I will not dig through thousands of posts to find many other people complaining about the younger turnout.

So, with that being said, I can say no more.

lol....

you're new here, aren't you?

 

[bluesc]

CNN seems to assume Paul will win Maine and Washington. Need to win more than that.

This would not happen. Ever.

 

[Ronulus]

You realize that people will now flock to santorum? Newt might drop out but with the media not even giving us a chance we kind of had to win one of these to get some publicity. They won't report Maine if we win it. We also have to win so many states before even being allowed at the convention.

 

[sailingaway]

STARTING to win is the hard part. AFter that people will see it as more likely and it should happen easier.
