Notice how they're counting Romney's votes first?

Eh yea...with Romney up by 10% (or at least publicly showing him up by 10%) there is no way they wont let that stand. Once they have their narrative, they run with it.

Delagates don't mean a damn thing without 5 wins, let alone none.
Unless you are hoping for a deal to get him selected as VP, but since so many people said they wouldn't vote for him as VP which is silly, delegates will again not matter.
What did you expect? We all saw the polling. He's overperforming already.

We need like hidden cameras all over.
I believe it. There were a lot of Romney supporters in my precinct. There were 16 Paul supporters identified in my precinct who volunteered to become delegates, but only 4 of those 16 showed up. Luckily a wild Paul supporter appeared and managed to get an alternate spot. We would have dominated the delgate slate if the Paul supporters who said they would volunteer had shown up, but when it came time to actually perform, it didn't happen.
We were lucky and came away with 3 alternates, but Romney and Santorum walked away with the main delegates (3 apiece).

Looking at surrounding counties on the map, ALL of the yellow/Romney counties say "0.0% reporting" yet show the exact number of votes that each candidate received.
Unless "Santorum surges from behind" in Washington.

IT is not about the "truth" it is about what is happening. Ron Paul supporters are FAR more likely to take the few hours out of their SAturday morning to go caucus. So he will get a much higher percentage of people who SAY they would vote for him than the others.
For example...in a poll, 1000 may say they would vote for Romney, and 400 say they would vote for Paul. But it is VERY easy to say something over the phone, and much harder to drag yourself out of bed on a weekend and drive to your caucus place and hang out for awhile. Especially if your candidate is probably going to do well anyway. So for those 1000 people that said they would vote for Romney, maybe 40% will actually do it. But of the 400 people that said they would vote for Ron Paul, maybe 75% will actually do it. or 300 votes
So..rather than the 71%-29% split in the polls, it would be a 57%-43% race.
Common sense is not a conspiracy. And if you guys haven't realized by now that Ron Paul's supporters are far more likely to vote, then I don't know what you've been paying attention to the last 4 1/2 years.
It also is just plain common sense why he starts off higher than he ends up. Ron PAul does better in precincts with low turnouts. And the ones that have the fewest votes to count are going to be the ones most likely to report EARLY. This is also why with 12% of the precincts reporting, there is like 4-5% of the expected number of votes. The ones with higher turnouts haven't finished counting. And those are the ones that on average, Ron Paul will not do as well.
