Paul and Santorum tied exactly at the 13.8% google update.

How the hell does Ron Paul and Rick Santorum tie with the exact same number of votes counted at this point? That has to be the most bizzare coincidence in the history of voting.

Isn't it a little arrogant to demand candidates doing better overall be the ones to drop out?

While I don't think frothy is likely to drop (and I certainly wouldn't in his place) I think that saying he's doing better is misleading.
In some polls he's stronger (in some not) and he does have more beauty contest wins (but he's weaker on delegates).
Be that as it may he's not on all the ballots, is low on funds and has a weaker ground game. So while he's not "out" at this stage I don't think it can be said he's doing better unless you pin it down to a detail, because there are some aspects he's doing better in, it's just not all/most when you weigh them out.

2c

but yeah, no way he's going anywhere yet, he's still too competitive to do that.

It's 13% of the vote without the larger caucuses being counted yet, you dummy.

Thanks for adding the personal attack at the end. Very necessary.

Oh, fuck you GOP. Seriously? After an hour-long wait RP and Santorum JUST HAPPEN TO HAVE AN IDENTICAL # OF VOTES?

Soooooo, while we're waiting, I thought I'd share my talking points from the caucus today in case they might help someone else...

I support Ron Paul because:
* He understands the debt and that the debt is the greatest threat we face.
* He understands the economy and that the economy is the biggest issue for this election
* He understands and respects the constitution and knows that the freedoms protected by it are what made this country great
* He understands that Freedom, Peace, and Prosperity are inextricably linked and that you can't have any one of them for long without the others.
Also, according to recent national polls, he has the best chance of all the GOP candidates of beating Obama in November.

I tried to keep it short and sweet in case I only got a minute to talk. I also tried to keep it positive and non-controversial.

I didn't end up getting to use it because they didn't allow speakers to get up in front of everyone at my caucus and all the people in my precinct were already Ron Paul supporters.

I hope this helps someone out there!

3rd place. No way the establishment will let us beat santorum.

 

[DerailingDaTrain]

According to google results we are tied with Santorum. I don't even see how people look at him and imagine him as POTUS.
