We'll probably get 3rd

[rachmiel]

Hang in there tonight.

 

[wgadget]

Third would be wonderful!

Fingers crossed.

 

[Alternative 336]

I don't know if I am a super positive member, but I can't imagine Santorum placing ahead of Ron. There is just no way...

 

[cstarace]

Exit polls are very very reliable. I wouldn't bet on it.

Especially after the last debate.

probably older people would be reluctant to tell an exit poller who they voted for especially up there where you dont tell people who you voted for.. But the young would be eager to blurt out that they voted for ron so I would say the exit poll would make ron look better than what he actually will get. my theory fwiw

Exit polls actually showed the 18-39 crowd at only 6% of the total voting population. Pretty atrocious turnout.

Don't count on it.

We really need a third, but Fox News is reporting Paul at third with 11% and Santorum at fourth with 9%.

Unless Paul starts pulling away, I could easily see Santorum pulling ahead at any time.

 

[Okie RP fan]

WOW.

Fox News now reporting Santorum with 14% in third, and Paul with 9% in fourth.

 

[tajitj]

It was a 2% margin, that can easily swing. Even if we win 3rd by 500 votes, that will be big.

 

[Kords21]

With the media blackout, the media pumping up everyone not named Paul, the stacked crowd at the Fox debate, third would be a miracle with all that against Ron Paul.

 

[tajitj]

From what I saw, Greenville county was our best in 2008, which is also the largest. If we beat Santorum by a point or two, that could give us 3rd.

 

[Student Of Paulism]

WOW.

Fox News now reporting Santorum with 14% in third, and Paul with 9% in fourth.

Jeez. So much for the young vote.

 

[F3d]

If we don't get third, it looks like all that money spent was wasted.

 

[KramerDSP]

Getting third probably hinges on if we beat Santorum in the five biggest counties out there. So far it is looking like Santorum is filling in the Thompson role with Gingrich as McCain and Romney as Huckabee. I don't see any delegates coming out of SC, unfortunately.

 

[sailingaway]

If we win a district we win a delegate, anyhow some are winner take all by district. Third and fourth don't matter so much as do you take a district.
they are saying more evangelicals voted than in 2008. Whatever. we shall see.

 

[RPit]

Irrespective of what place we get, we won't get any 'pledged' delegates. Because to win delegates requires to win a whole Congressional District, not gonna happen. I hope some folks go undercover as delegates for others.

 

[TheTexan]

Ya, if we get 4th it'll be kinda rough for a while. Florida is going to kick us while we're down. Just gotta remember: the only reason RP doesn't get more support in these early states is because a lot of people still believe a lot of lies about RP (dangerous, unelectable, etc). Eventually the truth gets out, always.

This election is definitely not your standard election, and everything is still fluid & changing VERY quickly. So just keep on truckin'

 

[Back In Black]

Santorum will come in third. That's the way the game is played.

 

[Okie RP fan]

Fox News is reporting Santorum has locked up third.
