Why has noone mentioned that RP is doing 400-500% better in caucus states?

[r3v07ution]

Ron Paul is doing so much better in caucus states than primaries...

2nd in Nevada
2nd (some say 1st) in Louisiana
19% in Maine


then all these caucuses tonight, yet I have yet to hear this mentioned...

Ron paul has not placed above last place in primaries. Nor has he placed last place in a caucus. This is fishy since there is a head count in a caucus and is not easily rigged like a blackbox vote primary....

Thank you. Finally someone who doesn't have their head up their ass!

2 reasons:

#1 he campaigns there more

#2 Voting machines

I honestly think it is a combination of both.

Come on, the box votes aren't rigged. If that's the case, then I guess the polls are rigged too.

It's because caucuses are more of an event and take more time/dedication to complete.

People can convince other people who to vote for on-site. That doesnt happen at primaries.

I have no doubt we've been cheated. I think it's a given. Not to say that we've won the hearts of the masses. But we've been cheated out of a big stepping stone.

Well duh. That's why I support Ron Paul.

The difference is that caucuses are the dedicated people who actually do a little research and keep up with what's going on, for the most part. Primaries are idiots voting for whoever CNN/Fox/ABC/MSNBC told them to vote for.

Since we got a virtual blackout over the past few days these results don't surprise me...some people I've talked to actually thought that he had dropped out!!!

Its all a matter of dedication. Primaries are easy, you can go whenever, vote, and leave. Caucuses are a little bit harder, you have to sit through speeches and attend the meeting, at a set time, and cast your vote in this manner. But then there is yet another aspect - delegates, which we have been outperforming our caucus numbers in, because it takes yet another level of dedication.

It has nothing to do with diebold, though I agree with peoples concerns that it is far too easy hacked into and tampered with. But using this as a scape goat to why we do better in caucuses and not in primaries is to miss whats really going on here.

 

[RochesterRyan]

cause the campaign knew how to play the caucuses

yeah we noticed this in Iowa and NH.

that's why we're recounting NH, remember?

If only we could keep up with Butch and Hoppy.

 

[Ex Post Facto]

Cuacuses don't have voting machines.

In a battle with British forces and his ship sinking beneath him, out-gunned, and out-numbered, the British Commander requested a full surrender from Captian Jones. His reply?

I HAVE NOT YET BEGUN TO FIGHT!

Captian John Paul Jones won the battle sinking the enemy man-o-war!

Never give up the ship!

Who says the polls are not rigged?
Oh yeah, I forgot, the main stream media reports they are not rigged.

My name is .......... and I approve the message above.

Also, to the original poster. Dr. Paul is not in 4th or worse in all the states that have primaries. We've got 3rd in Utah because of their extreme dislike of Mike Huckabee...Although it is a measely 3% for Paul and 1.75% for Huckabee

 

[Ronin]

Take Romney out of the picture and...

1st Nevada
1st Maine (most likely)
1st Louisiana
1st Montana
1st Alaska (TBD)

I would argue that we and Romney have the best organization. I think THIS is/was the master plan to get the needed 5 states.

Edit: I'm talking delegates and not straw poll

 

[steve005]

bump, i was thinking the same thing

 

[sharkcity]

Lots have mentioned it

I'd like to hear the FECs explaination why Ron gets more vote in paper ballot and caucus states. Clearly there's fraud!!

 

[AmericanWayne]

Is it wrong that I am discouraged right now? I don't want to be a bad seed because I am truly committed to this but I'm a bit bummed out.
