Why was there SUCH A HUGE TURNOUT?!

[TBFBri10]

Holy hell, Ron Paul has over 10,000 votes, and he's ONLY AT 6%?! This is insane!

Sarcasm?

I keep telling you that there are a lot of zombies out there.

Because Michigan has a population of 7 million and New Hampshire only has a population of 800,000?

Sarcasm?

I don't know, maybe I'm just stupid when it comes to populations. How much more populated is Michigan over Iowa and NH?

 

[Lord Xar]

let me guess.. RON's percentage goes down, the GHOULS goes up.. how did I know?

That explains it. >_>

Seriously, I expected Ron Paul to get at least 10%, though, and we all KNOW the graph will stay linear, since that's how it works in the real world.

The NH Republican turnout was 1/4 of the whole NH population. So do the math with the Michigan turn out which is like 2484611, and with Democrats crossing over it could be a huge turnout.

Ron's is going up atm.

Coming from someone who used to live in Iowa, maybe this fact will let you in. In Iowa there are more pigs (the animals, no political jibe here) than people in every county except 2.

Not even showing the big cities yet.

New Hampshire population is like 1.4 million.

 

[coyote_sprit]

New Hampshire population is like 1.4 million.

1.2 so actually 1/5 but thats still a lot.

It doesn't matter. As I said before, we all know it will be linear with little to no change in the current percentages.

Ron Paul will stay in the 5-7% range.

In 2000, Michigan had about 1.2 million votes in their Republican primary... just to put things in perspective.

Why?

1.2M votes in both primaries COMBINED. You could probably assume half that was republican.
