Big Arizona Newspaper Republican Poll - Vote for Ron!

[Kregisen]

The Arizona Republic, Arizona's only statewide newspaper, has a poll every day of the year for some random topic...and today's is "Who is most likely to emerge the GOP candidate for president?" Currently at this much this early in the morning:

Mitt Romney.37.60%
Rick Perry.37.38%
Ron Paul.13.40%
Michelle Bachmann.8.27%
Herman Cain.3.35%
Total Votes: 1343

hxxp://www.azcentral.com/ (EDIT--YOU CAN REFRESH A FEW TIMES AND VOTE MORE THAN ONCE)---- (poll is on right side of page, scroll down a little)

I'm not sure how many hundreds of thousands (over a million?) Arizonans get this paper but crushing Romney and Perry in this poll would be huge.

[libertygrl]

Done. Oh, come on guys. Romney & Perry are still clobbering him!

AZ republic sucks. It's certainly the most widely circulated paper (and is found at every major and most minor newsstands), but its reputation is fading pretty fast (like all the other papers). A lot of folks I know of just buy it for the ads and/or horoscopes and comics.

How can we be losing this?

[kahless]

Rigged by staff or RNC has bots voting for Romney and Perry.

It lets you vote again and again after 3 to 4 page refreshes.

[heavenlyboy34]

Could be because most people are working right now?

[muh_roads]

ok there I did my part...got him from 13% to 14% using that trick...lol

Consider it payback for the media ignoring him. If the results are published I say it was worth it.

Yup poll of the day questions and previous results are published in the paper everyday...that's where I saw the new poll of the day.

Arizona is very neo-con, don't be fooled.Tucson is overrun with California socialists who dumped their socialist state to come to Az looking for jobs and cheaper living. Laws change often because of californians.I will be surprised if Ron Paul wins Az.

[Kregisen]

Please vote more than once people!! How about we all try to vote atleast 10 times....it's obviously what the romney and perry supporters are doing since they're currently beating us by a few hundred votes.

It's one of his top 10 states polling-wise....Ron's only chance to win the nomination will be to get 1st/2nd in early states like Iowa, NH so if he does that he'll jump up in later states like Arizona to win them....where in AZ are you from anyway?

If it is being overrun with socialist Cali's then he should talk a lot about marijuana legalization in AZ. The message of liberty can be tailored to any group.

[CaptainAmerica]

Rigged by staff or RNC has bots voting for Romney and Perry. Don't be surprised. Arizona is not as conservative as its gun laws make it appear to be.

[CaptainAmerica]

Then he should talk a lot about marijuana legalization in AZ. The message of liberty can be tailored to any group

Marijuana legalization only happened in Arizona because the proposition vote happened when everyone wasn't paying attention and only the advocates went to vote. The governor is so corrupt she is trying to use federal government against the marijuana legalization.She is such a two face when it comes to state rights.

I grew up in Phoenix. I know the state pretty well. The az convention of 2008 GOP was disgusting and abysmal. I really don't think Arizona's political atmosphere has changed but gotten worse.

GAINING GROUND!! KEEP VOTING EVERYONE....WE NEED TO WIN THIS

[talkingpointes]

Arizona has a semi-Ron type candidate - Jeff "The Fightin" Mormon Flake. But yes, it's sad but true, neo's, neo's everywhere.

[Agorism]

Didn't seem to let me vote? Is it closed?

Yup he's my congressman! Besides Ron and maybe Amash, most libertarian congressman in America.

[Kregisen]

Nope it's still open! It should let you vote??

I dont know when it closes but I imagine will be open for a few more hours...they'll have to print the results in the paper though so it will be over before night.

We're gaining ground but we're gonna need some more people to vote a lot....there will be countless thousands of voters reading the results tomorrow morning. This will be huge. We're down by roughly 375 votes...that's not that many people. Let's win this!

Besides the patriot act/foreign policy he's pretty much perfect...even against war on drugs.

[The Free Hornet]

Is he in AIPAC's pocket?

I VOTED, but saw the poll jump down from 23.01 to 22.99%, that could be due to a couple Perry/Romney votes, but I doubt it. Also, the question is inherently suspect,

Michelle Bachmann.
Herman Cain.

Rick Perry.
Mitt Romney.

Who do you *WANT* to win should be the question or who will you *VOTE* for. Asking people to predict the outcome is stupid (in this context). That is what pollsters and prediction markets are for.

Great job everyone! I'll see what the results are in the morning and post them

[Kregisen]

Results in the paper:

"Who is most likely to emerge the GOP candidate for president?
Mitt Romney, 34%
Rick Perry, 34%
Ron Paul, 23%
Michelle Bachmann, 6%
Herman Cain, 3%
Total Votes: 2,741


So it obviously stopped counting the votes sometime in the late afternoon/early night....we must've been at around 26% before the actual poll stopped though.

Great job everyone thanks for the help. This will help thousands of Arizonan voters take him as a credible candidate.
