Ron Paul gets two votes in nation's earliest vote

[Tarabell952]

Two votes out of 29 total. Not so bad, considering he wasn't even on the ballot.

that's 7 percent!

Even tiny Dixville Notch realizes that John McWar and Sarah Palin suck, and that Ron Paul should have been the nominee.

[Tarabell952]

Yeah I was so happy when I read this. I was not expecting to see RP's name at all.. Some little tiny town voted and two people even there knew RP was better than those clowns. What a pleasant surprise :)

Awesome!

Was he even on the ballot, was he a write in?

[Bruno]

Write-in according to the article. Woot!

Imagine if one person in that town said they weren't going to vote at midnight! That would crush their little goal they've had since the 60s. :D Haha... I'm so evil...

I remember looking at the results from this town on MSN 4 years ago. Ron Paul just entered another page of our history.

[DrCap]

It's 2 votes out of the total (51 votes between both cities), or 3.8% but still wonderful.
I hope for the Ron Paul write in campaign to swing the election, one way or the other.

Wow, awesome! Just expect what he's going to get in Montana, where people can see that the option for voting for him is actually there!

I'm calling double digits, who's with me?

I am with you, and let McCain lose Montana, because of those 10 points.:D

I just checked a few online news sources. Neither mentioned Ron Paul, they did however, mentioned Ralph Nader as not getting any votes.

very cool hurray for those who realize there is a difference and can recognize truth.

:D

[puppetmaster]

Nice

[anaconda]

I'll say RP at 6 or 7 per cent. I hope it's enough to cover the difference between Obama & McCain. It'll be a popular news story if it happens.

[tangent4ronpaul]

YEAH - CNN reported it like Nader 0, ohbombus 15 and McCain 6... like he doesn't exist.

Conspiracy theory? controlled media? - get real and shed that tin foil hat!

could they be any more blatant????

There was a cnn article yesterday I think that talked about Montana, gave % for McCain and Obama, then said 9% undecided. Totally ignored the fact that most of that 9% is for Ron Paul. Way to miss the story CNN.

Go Ron Paulllllllllllllllllll
How many writeins would be likely in the election, wouldnt it be great if he got 100,000 :)

[kaleidoscope eyes]

well, if this is so, definitely a nice way to start the morning, thanks!

Honestly, their reporters are likely so myopic that I doubt their poll question even considered the possibility of third party votes. ;)

I've been getting calls all day from people who were excited about seeing Ron Paul on our ballot.
Its looked really good too!

[muh_roads]

This makes me want to write-in Ron Paul now instead of going with Chuck.

Can you post a pict of that ballot so we can all drool?

[Scribbler de Stebbing]

Paladin, write RP in against all the judges or something. Dixville is an anomaly. Write-in votes don't get counted unless the candidate is registered as a write-in candidate.

I'm jealous. Why didn't most states organize an effort to do this? Is it because you didn't need consent from Ron Paul in Louisiana & Montana? Most other states would need his consent?
