What do you project for the TX Primary?

[VRP08]

You know how they always project who is going to do good or bad ? What do you project for Ron Paul in Texas? How good/bad do you think we will do?

 

[nate895]

He'll get 5 delegates, 3 from his home district, 2 from the Austin District, and that is about it.

Huckabee better kick ass though, otherwise this ride is over.

 

[98Tokay]

There will be voting of some sort in favor of a candidate of some sort.

 

[malibuu]

It would be real nice to do well -

a big Ron Paul rally is at Fort Hood this weekend I think.

GO LONGHORNS and AGGIES!

 

[Jesubub]

He'll kick ass in Austin, for sure. Texas' rural areas aren't much different that other rural areas -- Huckabee country.

Polls, for what it's worth:

 

[pacelli]

Wait until a day or two before, you'll have plenty of very emphatic predictions for us to take #1.

 

[patriotcalendar]

Wow -- that is a most *cough*unnatural*cough* line on McCain's graph.

I agree.. Schmuckabee pwns Texas rural areas. I hope we can act fast to counter in this demographic! It's DO or DIE time! Let's get the good Doctor a decent showing!

We need to make >> THIS << fly!

Yep, what a sham the demented, malignant melanoma sufferer and Panama-born
ineligible to be POTUS McCain has conned the Republican Party in to believing after the Bhutto assassination.

Well, at least McLame has no chance in November against Obama or Hitler E. Clinton.

What would happen/change if we did really well?

 

[nate895]

What would happen/change if we did really well?

Nothing unless McCain comes in a distant third, getting no delegates, and Huckabee wins Ohio.

There would be widespread calls for investigations of voter fraud?

Realistically I think Texas will be an average of the most extreme wins (Nevada, Louisiana) and the most extreme losses (Maryland, D.C., Cali, etc). You'll see some areas do statistically well, but overall most people in Texas aren't going to be intellectually different than people in the rest of the country.

Maybe something crazy will happen to turn this around, though. Just maybe.

John McCain explodes and kills Huckabee for challenging his coronation at the MSNBC Debate? Who knows? It could happen.

McCain needs to get slammed by the honorable constitutionalist voters
in Wisconsin, Ohio, Texas . . . and then in April in Pennsylvania getting only about 30 % in each state -
then we go to the convention to decide the nominee with no one over 50% -

it is that simple.

That's nearly impossible. I'm routing for Huckabee to kick serious ass in upcoming primaries.

 

[lucius]

I project it will be one of my greatest days when I cast my vote for Dr. Paul--Dr. Paul cured my political apathy.

 

[malibuu]

That's nearly impossible.

Yes, I recognize you are right nate895 . . .

but it IS possible if the Badger State, and Buckeyes, Longhorns, and the Keystone/Quaker State ( I did have to look that one up)
voters don't get so brainwashed by the media pundits and think before they vote.

 

[malibuu]

a big Ron Paul rally is at Fort Hood this weekend I think.

Texas friends have informed me that the Fort Hood events are for next week -
Mon 02.18, Wed 02.20 , and Friday 02.22 (with RP to speak ).

You do not need a military sticker or anything as it is off base.

More details after class this afternoon.

 

[thoughtbombing]

hello Manchurian candidate?

 

[SWATH]

Is the campaign going to actually run ads in the state? Like real main stream tv ads? As sickening as it sounds, I think the vast majority of voters still have no idea who he is. If the campaign decide to drop the ball and just rely on the notion that most voters actually research the candidates on their own, then I think instead of a march on Washington we will need a march on HQ.
