Did Ron Paul Win Iowa, Nevada, Minnesota, Colorado and Missouri?

[UncleBuck]

Actually it was a thread explaining how the process works, unlike this thread which is just another hit piece on ron paul.

fact: ron paul lost in maine today, racking up yet another loss.

that is not a hit piece, that is factual reporting of events.

ron paul: the losingest candidate!

at least orwell would be proud of you guys and your whole "winning is losing" line of thought.

According to Ron Paul, he'd buying off delegates with chocolates. It's the best plan. While Romney is spending millions on winning regular voters, Ron Paul is spending thousands on the actual delegates.

i love his new strategy...

delegation: we want santorum (or romney or gingrich)

ron paul: no, you want me!

delegation: ummm, no. we voted for the other guy, not you.

ron paul: lol, no. you really meant to vote for me and would have if you were smarter.

delegation: shut up, you old turtle fucker.

ron paul: no representative democracy for you! i take your delegates!

i mean, if you're losing as bad as ron paul is losing, i guess you're kind of forced to usurp the voice of the people in a trollish attempt at making more noise at the convention. if any other candidate did something remotely similar, the paulbots would be up in arms shouting about illuminati conspiracies and the powers that be screwing them.

but, since it's their guy, it's the most awesomest thing ever and those people didn't really know who they were voting for anyway. just trust in paul and trust in our cult, we know better than you do.

it's such an obvious and hypocritical fail that all i can do is laugh.

ron paul supporters before the caucuses began: look! ron paul won another straw poll! OMGZ! ron paul is the best! straw polls are awesome!

ron paul supporters after the caucuses began: look! ron paul lost another straw poll! OMGZ! straw polls suck, let's just take the delegates anyway!

what a silly little cult they are.

Isn't that how Obama won in 2008?

obama actually won states and whatnot, unlike ronald.

You mad brah?

If you call being in second place by less than 200 votes when only 83% of the straw vote has been counted losing, then you are high.

The delegate strategy isn't something new, it has been what the campaign has been focusing on since day 1, so don't try to make it out like this is just some excuse for us that we came up with all the sudden. People who are more knowledgeable and passionate about politics stay to be elected delegates, don't get so mad broooooooo.

Maine Caucus
2008 - Romney 52% Paul 18%
2012 - Romney 39% Paul 36% (83% reported)

 

[UncleBuck]

You mad brah?

i said i was laughing, why would i be mad?

and yes, second place is a loss, not a win. ronald has not won a state yet, and probably won't.

he is dead last in every metric, including delegate count. even the hypocritical fashion in which he goes about getting them will not help.

i lol even harder when i imagine your hypothetical reaction to romney doing the same. it would be the end of the world to you guys and proof of a massive conspiracy against him.

yet when you do it, it is because you are "knowledgeable", because you think your not so widely shared opinion of ron paul counts more than the views of everyone else. god would you guys be pissed if the shoe were on the other foot.

 

[Danielsgb]

Nobody knows the delgate count yet, How many time do I have to repeat that? that is what matters, the "Projections" made by the press are just assumptions based on the polls. Maine is still caucusing and will be for more than a month yet, they still don't even know for Iowa yet. The polls are completely irrelevant in actuality.

romney wins maine, paul second.

a dismal turnout as well.

this was one of ronald's best chances to actually get a win, and he fails yet again.

keep stacking the losses, ronny.

By under 200, and some votes not counted for a dusting of snow.

Ron Paul will win the most delegates out of Maine tonight.
In fact, he will probably even win the “beauty contest” Straw Poll the media has already called for Mitt Romney – even before all the votes have been tallied.
“HOW CAN THAT BE?” you might be asking yourself, UB.

Simple. The national political establishment and their pals in the national media will do ANYTHING to silence our message of liberty.
You see, in Maine today, we saw a perfect example of just how much the establishment fears Ron Paul.
In Washington County – where Ron Paul was incredibly strong – the caucus was delayed until next week just so the votes wouldn’t be reported by the national media today.
Of course, their excuse for the delay was “snow.”
That’s right. A prediction of 3-4 inches – that turned into nothing more than a dusting - was enough for a local GOP official to postpone the caucuses just so the results wouldn’t be reported tonight.
This is MAINE we’re talking about.

The GIRL SCOUTS had an event today in Washington County that wasn’t cancelled!

And just the votes of Washington County would have been enough to put us over the top.
This is an outrage. Perhaps you heard about it on the mainstream news tonight?
