The Unofficial Feb 7th Results Thread

[KingNothing]

Somehow I doubt Sanders is a big believer in the 10th amendment.On what social issues do you consider Sanders an ally? He's good on the Fed but his motivations are likelydifferent.

Does Sanders support NDAA, the Patriot Act, harsh drug laws and inequality for gay folks?

Santorum does.

 

[Barrex]

I am 99,9% sure that Santorum will win Minnesota.
99,9% that Ron will be second.
I hope that I am wrong but dont think so.

 

[Okie RP fan]

The youth vote turns out in proportion to it's share of the population.

If you say so. I won't argue the matter anymore.

Some people got their feelings hurt because some of us seem to think these [we] students are all talk and no walk.

 

[GunnyFreedom]

FML... I got elected Precinct Chair for SHOREVIEW P3 in RAMSEY COUNTY...

Anndddd my supporters suck, 3 didn't show up. So we got 4/11 delegates. And in terms of the straw poll:
Santorum: 12
Romney: 6
Paul: 5
Gingrich: 2

QED.

If the Paul supporters just all turned out, we'd be winning. We are not losing to RomSantoGrinch, we are losing to apathy.

 

[opinionatedfool]

I have a feeling we may surge eventually. Hang in there people. We are now polling 2nd nationally. We may get our surge yet.

 

[ThePursuitOfLiberty]

Brokered Convention... threaten to leave the GOP unless demands are made... Run third party and make a statement.

Paul will continue to be a force to be reckoned with even if he doesn't get the nomination or Presidency.

Paves the way for many other 'messengers' to rise through the political rankings...

Remember, the revolution will take time.... We are all a part of this, if we want it.

 

[floridasun1983]

Can ANYONE, tell me how Santorum who has a much much smaller budget, has been destroyed just as bad as Ron in the last couple states and really has has only marginal coverage is about to SWEEP 2 caucus and 1 primary (which i know doesn't count), but this looks just terrible! Especially with Ron showing last in two of them.

Maybe we can put to death this grassroots created myth that "we have the best organization" and that"organization wins caucuses" because so far, we have neither.

 

[moonshine5757]

I think Hennepin, Stearns and maybe Anoka. I'm not sure though. I just googled.

all three counties we are losing in. sweet!

 

[Silverbug1980]

.

Still hold on folks. I will start getting negative if he loses Maine, but things can still turn around.

 

[Kords21]

I really hope that the campaign is taking a long hard look at their strategy and will start doing something about momentum/perception. While I understand the delegate strategy, you have to win states period. It's just very disheartening to see Paul come up short time and time again.

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

WTF is Santorum winning everything? WTF IS GOING ON?!?! Has Amurrica lost its collective mind?!

FASCIST Corporate Media and the ObamaCare forcing Catholics on birth control, AND... READY?

75% of ALL VOTES coming from the 50+ year old to the almost coffin elder voting groups!

They don't like Heroin legalized...
They don't like the boogyman muslins taking over the world...

 

[kylejack]

We are not entitled to wins. We will win if/when we earn it, through persuading currently unfriendly voters.

Really? We're not entitled to wins? Thanks for cluing me in there chief. I'll be there kicking ass in Kansas and have already been canvassing in my town and school (which is in another larger town), and basically spreading the word anywhere I can. I can't be the only one super-frustrated about the results so far. I mean, Santorum for f---- sakes? Really?

 

[Student Of Paulism]

So far the results I am seeing are the typical pathetic results we have been getting. Nothing spectacular, and again, not a single win.

Sure am glad to see Minnesota coming through for us!!!!

I dont know why anyone thought they would, i mean, Rick had a +10% lead and everyone was saying it was his best chance to get 1st. Really was quite the opposite, if anything, ME, SD, ND, WA, AK are his best chances. Wasnt gonna happen, especially since the msm would have all they need to make that happen with endless humping and voter manipulation. As i said many times, Ron needs LARGE LEADS to ever get 1st place.

The whole turnout though is a damn sin, no idea why these damn people bother with rallies if they are just going to stay home. What a complete waste of a vote that is.

 

[Feelgood]

Man, that is really ashame, if not for Santardum, we could have won MN. Even still, it's just pathetic people are actually giving him that much support. They really believe he would stand a chance against Obama? Obviously all the ex Bachmann supporters love him over there, since she was the same as him.

*snickers*

By this thinking, if it were not for Romney, Grinch, Obama, the GOP and the less educated people in America, Ron Paul would be our President.

Seriously, is there one person in the forums, with an ounce of integrity, that truly believes we will win one single state? HONESTLY? We cant even win a caucus state that we are supposed to do well in! This is all just beyond pathetic at this point. 98% of the voting electorate are just too God damned stupid, and probably should not even be allowed to vote. It is just SOOOO infuriating!

 

[floridasun1983]

The Ron Paul campaign decided momentum wasn't important so they did nothing after NH

This. This is where it all went south. Beating Santorum in SC and Florida would have been the end of him. Oh well.

 

[moonshine5757]

santorum is pimp slapping us. FIRE THE RP CAMPAIGN MANAGER PRONTO!

 

[evadmurd]

We have a shot at Montana and possibly South Dakota, Vermont, Alaska.

BS. We don't have any chance at winning anything. I love Ron Paul and will be voting for him no matter what...but it means nothing. The party is over.

 

[Hyperion]

Does Sanders support NDAA, the Patriot Act, harsh drug laws and inequality for gay folks?

Santorum does.

I never said Santorum was with us. Ending DADT is as far as I'm willing to go on that 'inequality', but those issues should be handled by states.

 

[Silverbug1980]

And Minnesota has been called for Santorum..
