Looking like Newt is going to take it according to CNN. Edit: not sure who is going to win atm, Gingrich or Romney

Primaries - State Results - Election Center 2012 - Elections & Politics from CNN.com

RP is currently below Santorum, but I hope that turns around. I don't think SC is as big of a deal that everyone is making it to be.

Is anyone here volunteering for RP's campaign?
I just signed up at Sign Up as VolunteerGAY|GAYRon Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign Committee and going to see if I can do anything to help

Any Newt fans here? I haven't researched him much

That's what happens when you appeal to emotional voters using logic.

Pauls Last, He didn't really put a huge effort into SC and wont in Florida either. Santorum will run out of money soon enough.

Yuckystuff

Some states are coming up that Newt and Santorum aren't even on the ballot in. Gonna get hard to ignore RP then...

ly2 from WF

oh well, at least Romney didn't win...

I wonder how the camera work on those debates is going to look. I'm guessing either 2 hours of Mitt Romney from shoulders up, or panned out enough to see him behind the podium?

music4mic

who the fuck votes for Santorum? At least Romney and Gingrich are good at what they do (lie through their fucking teeth while smiling.) You have to be dumb or misinformed to vote for those 2, but Santorum just looks like a closet fag that hates gay people. I seriously don't get who would vote for him. It's weird.

ly2 from WF

Plus Santorum has the personality of a fucking door-knob.

I'm so depressed. Gingrich won it by a landslide.

I know these people believe in magical sky fairies, but seriously, how can so many of them be that dumb???

Especially when SO MUCH of our military is based along the SC coastline!

Answer: They can't. This shit is rigged.

Rigged, rigged, rigged, rigged, rigged, rigged, rigged.

Iowa was rigged for scrotorum, too. Not sure about the others.

We've lost our last bit of perceived freedom, friends.

Ya, I can see why people would vote for Romney. He's electable based on his looks alone. If only he had Ron Paul's beliefs...

Sucks that Paul came in last. When I saw the clip of the crowd booing him I was afraid of this. Not over yet though, but even if Santorum bows out soon the media will still just talk about whether its gonna be romney or gingrich.

Some evangelic types are attracted to Santorum because of quotes like that, but pictures of Phelp's Westboro church don't apply because Santorum is Catholic, which makes them automatically against him. The Westboro church believes that the Pope, Obama and Satan make up the unholy trinity.

Apparently there is evidence to back this up. Lots of dead people voting yesterday. Also, wasn't this the first state to use all electronic voting machines this time around? If I was going to play conspiracy theorist, I'd say they rigged it so Newt would win, creating a Romney/Gingrich race and effectively knocking RP out.

If you all haven't seen Hacking Democracy, it's definitely worth watching. Fucking idiot thinks the best way to compete is by nuking our opponents. Watch a delusional fucking kook.

Ron paul lost a lot of his snotty internet college base when he said that he doesn't believe in separation of church and state. He needed all the help he could get but when he said that, he pissed a lot of butt hurt atheists off. That's when i noticed his campaign lost some steam from his supporters.

Netphase

The Ron Paul campaign is focusing most on Caucus states where they can win delegates by being organized, even if outnumbered. The big Iowa Caucus vote all over the news won by Romney or Santorum was good for campaign momentum, but other than that was just a straw poll. Local delegate elections went on afterwards at all locations and Ron Paul supporters won many of the delegate spots. I have heard that many people at some of the Iowa locations didn't even bother staying for delegate election, they just left after the results of the first vote.

Wrong SC Newt voters are just fucked up. The voters were impressed by Newt's debate performance because some people like a cocky, well spoken guy. He received a lot of free news coverage by handling a stupid wife question.

The 18-29 crowd still voted RP.

lukep

I don't think anyone here doubts that the SC Newt voters are exactly as you say. However, there are other people there too, and likely not each and every one of them a moron. In fact, there are Many large military bases in SC, and we all know Dr. Paul gets the military vote every time.

FFS, the Citadel is in Charleston, SC! It's only the largest, most prestigious military school on the entire planet, yet that county can't vote for Paul?

Shenanigans.

Shenanigans. Shenanigans. Shenanigans.

Watch Hacking Democracy that music4mic linked to above. They don't even need to get dead folks on the ballot to do their evil deeds... If that was intentional I bet it was done additional to an electronic hack, for whatever reason.

I think you over-estimate RP 'mass' appeal. He has none.

Me? Mass appeal? Not at all. You trollin?

I'm looking for a pattern of something believable at all; like Paul carrying one or all of the counties that include military bases at the very least. Paul carried 15 Iowa counties, 39 NH counties, but ZERO counties in the state with the most military bases per capita in the nation?!?

Come fucking on! Who would need to have mass appeal to get 1 county there under the circumstances?

Here's what happened:

CNN pre-hyped this shit out of NEWT + Sheep flock = Newt wins.

Hav3n

A fanatical base is not 'mass' appeal. I'm not going to fight with you RP fanbois because yall have an answer for everything.

That said...

In November we'll be voting for either Obama or someone who is NOT Ron Paul.

Sorry bros.

First of all that video is fucking HIL-ARIOUS.

I live in NH. I can tell you that the enthusiasm between the 2008 Primary and this fucking joke of a Primary is about as far away from each other as you can get. The only people that give a fuck about any of these candidates are old white people. And I mean like 70s and 80s old. Once in a while you see the token amongst the crowd. They probably paid him to make an appearance.

Other than that, not much to choose from. Ron Paul is the best candidate, but SERIOUSLY?? Fucking Ron Paul? That's the BEST the Republicans can come up with?

I like the guy, but it's just sad that he makes the most sense and has the least amount of skeletons in his closet. Because he doesn't stand a chance come election time. Really, I like Paul. He'd be a kick ass granpda. That's for sure.

Let's just wait until they're done throwing each other under the bus. I'd say Newt's fat ass probably will suffer the least amount of damage because he's so fucking large.

This Primary is a joke. I'd rather watch my shit bob up and down in the toilet. This is one of the big reasons our govt is in shambles. We have assholes like this running our country.

Newt fucking Gingrich...hasn't this dumb fuck run for President at least twice already?? I mean does he think because a black man is in office that we are desperate enough to vote for HIM? HA! Fuck that.

The ONLY guy that even stands an inkling of a chance to beat Obama is Romney but he's more full of shit than Liberace's asshole.
