do you seriously feel bad? dude would have done better as an independent as well. i am not sure that many of the rr or war machinist really could have voted for him. he was definitely entertaining though and had some great thoughts.
Zero presence for Paul here in Delaware. I'd still have voted for him by my apathy has kept me registered a Dem while I lean towards the other direction.
I did order and put up a few signs - and my kids voted for R. Paul in the "mock election" - which I'm sad to say our friendly neighborhood agent of change won (obohmaad).
My kids watched one of the debates and decided on Paul for themselves at least. Good to know my kids aren't as dumb as a rock.

What a horrible fucking election. We are fucked as a country 5-10 years from now.
I'm a Paul supporter till I die. At the very least people learned how powerful grassroots can be, and getting real politicians into office will be much easier in the coming elections.

Ralph Nader had a stronger showing than Ron Paul has, and we all know Ralph had a snowball's chance in hell. Can't really be a surprise.
independent presidential run and the republican nomination is apples and oranges. Nice try dipshit
Not really fag. If an indie windbag can draw better numbers than your nutjob racist, that oughta tell you something.
Sorry man, I didn't think my point was that hard to grasp. YES I understand that a single-party primary is different than a general election. DUH.
The mechanics and timing are not the same, but in terms of understanding a candidate's traction and electability, they don't have to be running against each other for fuck's sake.
First, anyone should be able to agree that Ralph Nader had a surprisingly enduring presence in the 2000 election, despite going up against two mega A-list major party candidates. Politics and persona aside, Nader demonstrated how a david vs. goliath campaign should be run. You need a real on the ground organization, not just the interwebz and a couple retards printing Liberty Dollars in small-town Indiana. (shit tons of $$$ would work too, like Ross Perot or maybe Mike Bloomberg)
I mean come on, the Republican primary was WIDE OPEN until Tuesday. There was no favored son, party rock star, or anything like a consensus candidate. Ron Paul, if he were the Chuck Norris-like super awesome luminary everyone made him out to be, should have been able to tear that shit up.
But he didn't. Because he's a fringe lunatic who got viral internet marketing right and, well... nothing else.
Sorry if I insulted your preferred candidate. He does have interesting things to say about foreign policy and the Iraq war, but yes he is ALSO a racist, 9/11 truther, goldbug, American Union conspiracy theorist. And still better than the rest of the Republicans.
As for needing to read a book, sure, we all do. But not understanding electioneering? Nah, I did this shit professionally right out of college. Was my point crude and simple-minded? Yep, but given the context of this thread and the STS forum, well-placed.
