As we know that many states are holding the primary elections now. There are some crazy reports coming in. Some reports are not so surprising, other than Ron Paul's % and lack of votes. With so many jumping on the Ron Pauls campaign and fund raising efforts(big results). Why is he not getting the desired results? Here is some sites that are doing state by state results of the primaries. The sites need to update by the end of the day. With New Hampshire and California doing their primaries today. These two links shows the delegate votes state by state for the candidates as well, Republicans Democrats Polling Results up to 1/4/08. It gives results for the Gallup, PEW research, ABC, FOX, NBC
Also, keep in mind the demographics in Iowa. Iowa is like two-thirds evangelicals, who obviously voted for Huckabee. In fact, Huckabee only captured like 11% of the non-evangelical vote. Ron Paul had a good showing, for the time/money invested, and the demographics involved. New Hampshire, full of independents, is much more important.
Yup Florida is on January 29, 2008. January 8 is just New Hampshire January 15 Michigan January 19 Nevada caucuses South Carolina primary February 5 are Alabama primaries Alaska caucuses Arizona primaries Arkansas primaries California primaries Colorado caucuses Connecticut primaries Delaware primaries Georgia primaries Idaho caucuses Illinois primaries Kansas caucuses Massachusetts primaries Minnesota caucuses Missouri primaries Montana caucuses New Jersey primaries New Mexico primary New York primaries North Dakota caucuses Oklahoma primaries Tennessee primaries Utah primaries West Virginia caucuses
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/scorecard/#val=D is a good example of how crazy our whole "democratic" system is. Why is Hillary Clinton way out in front when she finished 3rd in the only vote held so far (on the D side) I mean what's the deal with these "Super Delegates" ? I read a little bit about this and it seems to be a way for the parties to make sure only establishment candidates win the nomination.
how accurate are these polls? I know the news polls from fox and what not are totally bogus and actually do not reflect anything at all because they are biased P.O.S. but are these polls reliable?
Ron paul will get the vote of the knowledgable moderate christians, not the extremist evangelicals who dont care about teh true issues and just want to see their definition of the book of revelations come into reality so they will vote for huck.
California is not today. And AFAIK, there are not results in from NH yet, except Dixville-Notch and Hart's Location.
He has the young crowd behind him but they do not vote as much as other groups. That is why he does not get the percent you would think
speaking of polls. Zogby's final NH poll is out McCain 36% Romney 27% Huckabee 10% Giuliani 9% Paul 9% Zogby was closest to getting Iowa right... I think this shows that 3rd place is totally up for grabs and it'll be all about "getting out the vote" ... Also nice to see is that Paul is trending up while Huckabee is trending down... Plus I think Paul's appearance on Leno last night should give him a boost. 3rd place is really ripe for the taking - gotta make it happen!
Hope so, 3rd place would be nice. The primaries here in Florida are on the 29th and I'm definitely voting!
Ron Paul is the only reason I registered to vote. (I'm 22 and nobody asked me to take a goddamn poll) Did anyone else notice that Facebook debate on ABC, where the Facebook survey showed that members wanted them to discuss the economy, and pretty much only Ron Paul did just that? I hope all you guys are able to get out there and vote!
Ron Paul has won or done very well in many polls. It's easy to pick and chose some and then ask this question. I could pick a few polls and say the same things about any candidate. http://www.ronpaul2008.com/straw-poll-results/
It could be, after today's exposure, that RP might be greeted with a new bump in the upcoming Southern Primaries. Just sayin' Of course, 3% national support isn't going to make a huge turnout in the voting booths, either.
So you agree with RP's past views? Or (as I've seen on the RP forums, sparingly), is it a "zionist" conspiracy? I always get a chuckle when I see those. It just makes me want to reach out to the poster and say "hey, numb nuts (not anyone here), you're trying to prove RP IS NOT a racist, and what's your first instinct? Blame it on the Jews!" All I can do is shake my head and laugh.
