Ron Paul Wins Florida!

[AE6IP]

Er, no, actually, with only a handful of votes in so far, he's in sixth place.

But hey, at least he beat Fred and Rudy. Er, no, he's only ahead of Hunter.

Maybe things will get better as the vote is counted!

[N3ATS]

Oh no! Obama is loser #1 on the Democratic side!

Hunter :confused: is he still in the race thought he dropped out already, well maybe he should have :D

Hunter and Thompson both did drop out, but after they'd already qualified for Florida, so they're both on the ballot and they're both getting votes.

Thompson is doing nearly as well as Paul with 9% of the vote counted.

[W0MT]

Our boy is on a roll here! Fifth place is squarely in his corner! At this rate he'll have enough delegates at the Republican convention to broker a deal for what salad dressing gets served on the lunch salad on the second day! Unless the candidate who finishes in fourth place decides that he wants something else!

Burt Gummer is my hero! :cool:

[KG4JYD]

Thompson is doing nearly as well as Paul with 9% of the vote counted.Update: Fred is doing less than half as well has Ron Paul is.

Remember many people who voted for Fred did so in early voting or on absentee ballots before he dropped out.

We know :D

It's a pity, then, that in FL, they count the absentee and early voting ballots last.

But I see the good doctor is back in his customary fifth place, only able to beat the two candidates that have already dropped out.

When is he going to get the message and do the right thing by dropping out?

[KB1JCY]

Ever time I see Ron Paul at a rally, I'm expecting him to spontaneously shout out "YEARRRGGGHHH!!!"

[K7JEM]

Let's see, RP got approx one tenth of the vote that Romney got.

And Romney was second place.

But somehow RP is going to broker a deal at the convention.

Riiiight.

So I'm driving down the road today when I see a fellow with this sign stopping traffic on a very busy road and I see its, oh.... a Ron Paul sign. I briefly think about throwing my card advertising my attorney work to the fellow, but then I think better of it.

A short time later I'm out by the beach when I see a rickety plane flying overhead, sounding much like a two-cycle engine, then see it's pulling a banner advertising Ron Paul . . .

I have'ta admit, Ron Paul has the craziest, most wacko supporters I've ever seen in an election. I'm sure that is good for something, I just don't know what.

Maybe Ambassador to Zimbabwe?? :confused:

[KG4JYD]

But somehow RP is going to broker a deal at the convention.Rudy is out tomorrow. Huck will be out in a week. Romney won't carry the South. McCain is not a conservative and conservatives know it, and he's broke.

So at the convention it will be Ron Paul, and McCain and/or Romney.

The only conservative will be Ron Paul. The GOP is in some serious disarray right now.

[KG4JYD]

When is he going to get the message and do the right thing by dropping out?Ron spoke about this on Sunday.

He said that he will quit when his supporters quit. I don't see that happening for a loooooooooooooooooooooooong time. :D


Besides, why should he quit? He still has a good chance of winning.

No-one is in enough disarray to nominate RP.

This isn't a game of "last man standing".

At 3.2% support in FL, it looks like RP is sliding downhill.

For every person that voted for RP today, 10 voted for Mitt and 11 voted for McCain. Thats 21 people voting for the popular candidates, while 1 votes for RP.

To his credit, he did beat Keyes and Hunter, so something to brag about there. Of course, they have absolutely no support. RP has a blimp.

RP will be lucky to get as many votes nationwide in the primaries as Mitt and McCain got today in just the FL election.

So what will it take to get you off that barge near Aswan?

[KG4JYD]

No-one is in enough disarray to nominate RP.You fail to realize that the GOP can't win unless they run a conservative that can reach independents and Democrats. Ron Paul is the only one who can do that.

This isn't a game of "last man standing".At the moment it is. Once it comes down to Ron, Mitt, and John, it will be a fight for delegates, not voters.

At 3.2% support in FL, it looks like RP is sliding downhill.

RP will be lucky to get as many votes nationwide in the primaries as Mitt and McCain got today in just the FL electionThat is incorrect because once Huck is gone the conservatives will not have anyone to vote for.

[n2nh]

Ok RP stalker.

Ok NH stalker.

[K7JEM]

McCain has proven that he can reach independents. RP has not. RP has not shown that he can reach ANYONE except his core supporters.


At the moment it is. Once it comes down to Ron, Mitt, and John, it will be a fight for delegates, not voters.

At 3.2% support in FL, it looks like RP is sliding downhill.

By the time the convention rolls around, there will be little, if any, fight left. RP has nothing to fight with, like a man walking into an armed military base, threatening to take them all on with a pocket knife.


That is incorrect because once Huck is gone the conservatives will not have anyone to vote for.

More conservatives are voting for Romney than the Huckster. More conservatives are voting for McCain than the Huckster (FL exit polls).

More conservatives are voting for Obama and Hillary than for Ron Paul. THAT is an undisputed fact.

What you don't seem to be able to realize is the extremely low support that RP is getting. That won't change. It will be more or less, depending on the state, but it will never be large.

RP can be credited with extremely ardent supporters, but they are few, and certainly not enough to match any mainstream candidate in either a primary or general election. His support is a mile deep, but only a foot across.

Joe

[KG4JYD]

Joe - I dont think you understand. The GOP is shrinking very fast.

There will be less people voting for the GOP in the general election than the Democrats unless Ron is their nominee.

Yet with the same breath you say that the Democrats can't win with Hillary or Obama? Which is it?

[AE6IP]

You fail to realize that the GOP can't win unless they run a conservative that can reach independents and Democrats. Ron Paul is the only one who can do that.

Paul can't even reach the conservatives in any numbers.

The people who were voting for the "other" conservative candidates who dropped out are going to switch to Romney or McCain, not to Paul.

[KG4JYD]

Yet with the same breath you say that the Democrats can't win with Hillary or Obama? Which is it?Both; depending on who is running. It's an "either/and/or" situation.

Ah. So it's heads I win and tails you lose the way you see it? God what would happen if he had a real lead over the rest of the field? Imagine what RP could do with 2% instead of that paltry 3%?
