February 7th Primaries/Caucuses ( MN, CO, MO )

reply to post by OutKast Searcher

What is it with Ron Paul supporters that they can't accept that some people just have different beliefs and philosophies?

I don't know why you have a question mark after philosophies as if you seemed unsure that is the real reason. I can say that most Ron Paul supporters probably have native ancestry from the United States, and all they want is what is best for the country that was once so great.

Minnesota live blog here:

stillwater.patch.com...-9054993

Many commentators said they've been asking around and many said they are new caucusers (most being young people)...probably better for Ron Paul.

Comment From Sal
Just got to Northfield High. Loaded with Ron Paul supporters, Tshirts, Buttons, Stickers, Signs. Easily 100.

From the live blog again

MendotaHtsPatch: MH-3 goes 9 for Paul, 5 for Santorum, 4 for Romney, 2 for Gingrich. 20 total. Some grumbles ensue.

Looks like results are already coming in...very early counts though.

I prefer when there are multiple polling companies doing polls, but unfortunately that didn't happen this time.

So I actually won't be as surprised tonight if things don't fall exactly where the polling says as I would have in other states.

I honestly think Minnesota is anyones tonight. Ron Paul has a few things going for him up there...it's a caucus, it's an open caucus, and it's very cold so older people might not go out.

Paul has been putting some time in around Minnesota. I have been seeing some things here and there but I have not looked at sources and checked into anything. I am at work for several more hours.

If anyone has anything on results they can post or any link to live results as they come in that I might be able to keep an eye on through the net, that would be wonderful. I should probably just find something myself, but I just can't at the moment..ya know.. that whole work thing and all

What

First off...there is a question mark...well...because it was a question.

Second...are you suggesting that most Ron Paul supporters are Native Americans???

What an odd post.

It seems that Santorum might just win Minnesota, however its very early.
but things are showing good for santorum

Does Colorado have a live blog?

I usually stick with CNN to watch the results, but they have them split up so each state is on it's own page.

www.cnn.com...

I found this page where they have them all on one page...which is nice.

It's not that I believe people who don't support Paul want bad for the country, it's that I believe a vote for anyone else is bad for the country...and in doing so, those who vote for anyone other than Paul IMO are going to harm this country further. That is all.

CNN is talking about the ballots that still have Bachman and rick perry on them...

Why didn't they just print out new ones to avoid confusion? I wonder if they will count the votes for the people who vote perry or bachman.

I think they have to keep them on there if those people submitted the paperwork.

The candidates can say they are dropping out...but since they already submitted to be on the ballot...I think they are stuck on the ballot.

The Santorum numbers, while not surprising, may have people taking a second look at him. The recent drop in Romney's numbers make it look as if he's the "hold your nose and vote" candidate. It looks like the prediction that Santorum's campaign will get a boost from this election will hold true.

And, of course, the low turnouts make every vote more important. I'm sure Ron Paul fans are heartened to see the numbers in Minnesota.

They may not be running, but they DID qualify -- so they're supposed to be on the ballot.

I'm watching CNN and they have cameras in a couple precincts...I'm seeing a lot of old people.

I'd be interested to see some of the larger caucus sites.

What an odd post.

It really didn't sound like a question. I am not suggesting anything, however; I said probably most native Americans, support RP, because they share the same common grounds as he is proposing to help save this country compared to any other candidate who rather run us down into the drain. Are you shocked that I said Native Americans probably support Ron Paul? I know its sad, that they aren't even recognized as being the first people to live in the Americas.

Hey -- watch that "old" comment, bub!

You'll probably see a lot of similarities -- since the Republican pack is composed of conservatives, it's the conservatives who are coming out to vote. That means ... more "mature" folks (notice how I cleverly avoided the "o" word!)

CNN just showed a precinct announce their votes. Romney won with 15 votes and the reporter asked if he could talk to someone who voted for Romney. No one would raise their hand

That's pretty funny to me...no one wanted to admit to voting for Romney.
