How can anyone take these bozos seriously?

(Everyone who votes Ron in MS better become a delegate)

[Austin]

Exit polls?

Why the hell is CNN still listing only Mccain & Huckabee's delegate stats?
Why the hell are people still voting for Huckabee? He dropped out already!!
And why the hell does Huck have 13% to Ron Paul's 4%?

Did any channel cover this? I mean like they have been doing it live, and if so did they show RP at all?

[Ex Post Facto]

It looks like California primary rigging county by county. No candidate did any better than in other counties, each proportional to the total vote. Compare with Democrats, county by county Hillary won some, Obama won some counties. Votes for democrats all over the board, republican votes stay consistant with final total.

Wait a minute. Is it me or did CNN change their Exit Poll data from earlier? 4% for females and 7% for males? Was this not higher earlier?

The reason they aren't rigging the vote on the Democrat's side is because Democrats actually fight over their nominee, Republicans like to get all touchy feely. If only Reagan hadn't set down the 11th Commandment.

Because ron paul is going to win the nomination at the convention, obviously.

ignore the incompetent people running HQ in Arlington. Dr. Paul came in last in every county (CNN reporting with 91% in) behind not only McCain (who scares the cr*p out of me) but also a guy who dropped out. Throwing more money at the problem hasn't solved the inabilities of staffers at HQ.

For the states that still have to vote (or states with multi-stage processes still in progress), do what you can and ask the rest of the grassroots for assistance. Do NOT rely on HQ to tie their own shoes. You will have to do everything yourself. Ask for help from the rest of the grassroots if you need it.

Several states still have to vote (or finish voting). Yes, the stars would have to align just right for Dr. Paul to get the nomination anymore, but we still need to do what we can. It is not at all unlikely that McCain's campaign could implode (systemic problem with an unstable candidate).

A strong showing by the RP grassroots from here on out would send a strong vote of no confidence in our "presumptive nominee." Who knows what happens after that...

CNN does NOT conduct exit polls in spite of what they claim.

Some of you just don't understand basic probability and statistics. Go back to your high school(if you're not still in high school) and sue your math teacher. We go through this every single time. They've got exit polls. If they show Obama way ahead in Mississippi, chances are that he won. And what do you know, he won easily. Is it that hard to figure out? Yes, after 6% of the vote Hillary could be ahead because they got the results from Hillary strong polling places first. Do you understand? They don't call the races until AFTER the damn polls are closed so SHUTUP ABOUT CONSPIRACIES AND RIGGED VOTES! You give all of us a bad name. Jesus Christ people. WAKE UP AND THINK FOR ONCE! THINK!

CNN is showing Ron's vote totals. Fox is consistently not showing them.

But what can we expect when our candidate sends out emails and videos that damage our effort constantly. And now, even when he says he's still in, he says it in a way that makes it sound like he's having root canal.

In 1988, he really wanted the job and spoke much more forcefully when he got the chance. Now that he had a relatively large stage, he never once said he wanted the job or that he could do it better than the bozo's running against him.

Clearly, he didn't and doesn't want to be president. My plan was always to force him to turn it down. But he took care of that by putting out that soul killing email then video.

In 2004 I was working at a precinct near New Orleans where a CNN reporter claimed in front of a camera that there was an exit poll conducted there. There was not. She just lied in front of the camera and then left.

EXACTLY! CHRIST! JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE VOTING ON EASILY HACKABLE MACHINES WITH AN (USUALLY) UNPROTECTED CHAIN OF CUSTODY MADE BY A COMPANY WHOSE CHIEF EXECUTIVE HAS EXPLICITLY EXPRESSED HIS COMMITMENT TO "HELPING DELIVER" ELECTORAL VOTES FOR CANDIDATES OF HIS CHOOSING IN A COUNTRY WITH WELL-DOCUMENTED INSTANCES OF CONSPIRACIES TO STEAL ELECTIONS (INCLUDING PRESIDENTIAL) AND WHERE EXIT POLLS HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN CHANGED TO ALIGN WITH UNVERIFIABLE RESULTS SPIT OUT BY MACHINES WITH PROPRIETARY SOURCE CODE AND NO PAPER TRAIL, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS WAKE UP AND THINK AND YOU'LL KNOW THESE RESULTS ARE TO BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT QUESTION. SO SHUT UP! YOU WILL MAKE SANTA CLAUSE MAD IF YOU KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS.

Let's leave the Lord out of this please. It is so offensive.

stats are pretty clear. You just need a good sized sample and pretty much you can predict with fair certainty what is going to happen. Of course there could be an unusual occurrence where it is not reliable, but typically it will be.
