I haven't really been able to do much, no sign waves, or anything. so, I did what I could and voted for Paul baby!

Licking County, and now I'm on to working towards the march!

On a side note, my mother and uncle are traitors. They voted for Obama.

I also voted. Could not resist filling in the blank. I chose paper ballot. Took a picture with my phone to show my kids. I am going down with the ship. Come November, I will write in one way or another Ron Paul. :):):)

I've never been a big fan of voting for someone that you didn't believe in to try and "game" the system, but the way Ohio's delegates are apportioned it makes even less sense.

Ohio allocates delegates by congressional districts, and most of them have an even number of delegates (in mine, the 2nd, there are 4 up for grab). So unless one candidate gets 62% of the vote (not gonna happen), they will go 2 for Clinton and 2 for Obama. So it doesn't matter who you vote for!

My prayers are with you Buckeyes. I just e-mailed all my reletives in a last ditch RP effort.
Our eyes, hearts and minds are upon you. Good work, good luck and best wishes.

yes, i suspect some of my co-workers switched to the dark side since "paul can't win". obviously their hearts are not in the right place.

This is all correct.... for the Democratic Party. To vote for Ron Paul you have to vote on a Republican Ballot! The GOP awards 3 delegates per Congressional District in a winner take all fashion, and then awards the At-Large Delegates to the winner of the majority of the Congressional Districts.

Obama pisses me off because he can manipulate people so easily
