The Unofficial Feb 7th Results Thread

How the hell can Santorum win anything?

Simple, he campaigned in those states. He was the only one apparently running ads in MO. And while it was meaningless as far as delegates it helps to create a hell of a news story.
 
The Ron Paul campaign decided momentum wasn't important so they did nothing after NH

There was no chance he could win SC, he put in some effort there, but not a lot. Those 2 states sc, fl just weren't good states for Ron Paul.

So, we're at where we're at.
 
States I will never step foot in...Iowa,Minnesota,Missouri...I've always wanted to check out Colorado, but...

I feel your pain. However, if you are traveling from the East to avoid Iowa, Minnesota, and Missouri you will have to go through Arkansas, Louisiana, or the People's Republic of Canada........all bastions of brain-dead neo-fascism. You can always fly over.........after a thorough examination of your nuts and rectum.

Unfortunately, neo-fascism is ubiquitous among all the states. Avoidance is futile.
 
every candidate gets a surge, but were not allowed one?

I know what you are saying. I think what many feel is that momentum was squandered there. We had some real nice endorsements and a decent debate performance (the 2nd one). Yeah we might not have been able to win the state or pick up any delegates there, but if we would have worked our asses off and took second there, we very well could be looking at a victory tonight instead of what we are seeing. It's hard to say what could have been of course, but we know where we are at now. And tonight's results are going to make having a good standing in AZ & MI extremely hard unless something major occurs between now and then.
 
#1 they have pretty much no money
#2 they are running a boring (for us) delegate game and don't need any ads (or many votes) for that.

#2 is the reason that #1 is happening.

Plus, you forgot
#3 the campaign is lazy (no speeches, no adjustment of strategy or response to the endless calls from the grassroots to address foreign policy and electability).

I mean, Santorum right now is doing a better job delivering Ron Paul's message than Ron Paul has this entire election... why? Simple. Because he's reading a prepared f'in speech that actually makes sense. His sentences and paragraphs have a beginning middle and end. The ideas and arguments presented are fully constructed and "eloquently" described. The different sections complement each other and follow a focused logic... creating a clear and complete picture that voters react positively to...

And the speech wasn't even good!

But yeah... speeches don't matter.
 
Santorum wins? How stupid do they think we are to believe that?
